For Boys and Girls,

What is more pitiable than to hear
a boy or young man, or girl or young
woman, in these great days of activity
and progress, deploring his or her
chance to succeed?
There are one hundred chances to-
day for enterprising and energetic
boys and girls where there was one
one hundred years ago.
No chance in this land of opportuni-
ty, where the very atmosphere is a
perpetual tonic, in country whose un-
told resources are constant spur to
endeavor!
| No chance in a land where deaf,
dumb and blind Helen Keller goes to
college, where cripples and invalids
succeed!
No chance in land where newsboys
and poor boys from the farm 60 to
Congress!
Why, the whole history Of our coun-
try is the history OF the boy and the
girl with no chance.
Power and fortune are lying all
about you, awaiting the eye that can
see, the ear that can hear, the hand
that can achieve.
No chance! Why, you cannot keep
an American youth with grit and de-
termination from success. Once give
him the alphabet, and there Is no plac-
ing a limit to his career.
