depends largely upon our beginnings.
That the boy or young man may be
assisted at the start, and all along the
line of his career, Mr.. Nathl c. Fowler,
Jr, of Boston. has written book en-
titled, Starting in Life, to be pub
lished shortly by Little, Brown & Co.,
of Boston. The book Is intensely prac-
tical it is unbiased and entirely re-
moved from the prejudice of personal

leading trades, businesses, and probes
sions, that the boy or young man. and
his parent and teacher, may obtain In
formation concerning the important
oallings.- each has to offer, It's
advantages and disadvantages. M
Fowler goes further--he not only SHOWS
the boy what each vocation may or
may not be worth to him, but he tells
him how to properly prepare himself
to enter the calling, and he assists MIN
in determining. by self examination. as
to whether or not he will succeed better
in one direction than in another. lie

of each chapter. two or more men, VINO
have made success of the vocation

and in fact two OF more of the most
eminent representatives of each OF the |
leading vocations. The book is hand |
somely illustrated by Mr.. Charles Cope

competent to present these
