HELPFUL HINTS FOR GRADUATES

Hundreds OF thousands Of bright young Americans
Of both have Just passed from alma mater out
into the busy world The change they have undergone
Is the most radical that occurs in a lifetime The
difference between night and day is not more clearly
defined than the difference between striving for an
education and struggling for living. There is SINH
arity between delvng among Greek and grubbng

II is serious proposition that confronts the young
graduate he enters the gateway of life It
s truly condition and not theory that Is encoun-
tered And what is the equipment wherewith the grad
uate expects to win victory in the great battle OF life?
With the confidence of Togo the average graduate
will answer that question Here is the equipment-ths
precious parchment bearing the stamp Of alma mater
and sgnfying that its is an educated person.
That is equipment par excellence, in toto. What
could be needed? IN the eyes it's proud possessor
the diploma is everything needfu from bread provder
to life preserver And along with It's possession is
usually sublime confidence that while the graduate
may be "a little lower than the angels" he is never
theess considerably higher than the unfortunate who
has alma mater to point and precious parch-
ment to hug
The the graduate drops from that pedestal Of
confidence and concet the he will be qualified
to make a start in grasping the bottom round Of the
ladder of Instead of being substantial
stone in the foundation of fortune the polish of edu

education is ornamental rather than useful in this busy

height Of folly.
The wise graduate will tuck the precious diploma
away and try to forget It, He will not alude to 1t

he aims at teaching some other vocation in which

his higher education when seeking employment he is

A NATIONAL LOSS

The death of John Hay, secretary of state;-is
