No one who is interested in going
away to school should fail to write the
Grand Island Business and Normal col
lege OF Grand Island, Nebraska, for
their catalogue. This is one of the
leading schools in the west. 1t has one
thousand students each year but can
not supply the demand for its gradu-
ates. Students of limited means are
allowed to take full course and pay
for the same when they secure a posi-
ton and we understand several will at
tend from this county.

Youngest and Smallest in the State.

Elizabeth City Tar Aeel.
A little mamie is OILY sixteen and
not bigger than a minute-but manly
in his ways, stepped into the editorial
Office OF this paper Saturday and notl.
fed the writer: "Mr. H-you can
only have seventeen Inches for your
'Glances' next week." That meant TO,
me to cut my coat according to my
cloth. This diminutive youngster, who
gave me the instructions about how
much space was left for my column, is
Master Lawrence Homan, foreman oi
the newspaper composing room, auto.
crat of tha department. over which be
holds sway. Iwant to make a little
sermon with him for a text.
Lawrence Homan is the youngest
and smallest newspaper foreman in the
United States. He came to the Tar
Heel Office two years ago last October
as "devll." He was cleanup, galley
boy, messen nees and later press boy, a:
+; $l.25 per waez. Now he is foreman
| and earns aln:o q z1safl'- Sc Ia-y listen
; 20 his duties: He handles all the type
| WHICH is set c.s the linotype; he
''makes up" the paper and sets all the
advertisements and corrects the proofs
after being read by the editor. He
does this all himself, and does 1t quick
ly, accurately and we'll. He is business
like, prompt, polite, sensible, and yet
when he gets out among his compan-
ions he is boy, through and through.
Ever since Lawrence began earning
a dollar, he began contributing his
wages to the support OF his home folks.
With his increased responsibilities and
salary he continues this practice. He
does not spend his earnings for cigar
cites or like harmful frivolities. Many
men have struggled all their lives and
never accomplished as much as Law
renee Homan. He has trade now,
d:.knows it we'll. He Is Independent
now Of the wolf which in later years
would howl at his door il he had spent
his youth carelessly.
There are boys, older than this one,
who are neither giving good account
OF themselves in school or out OF it.
They are to be seen around the street
corners putting at cigar or cigarette
stub, whenever opportunity affords
They will be men after awhile. and
will haYe living to make. They will
not be qualified.
