The Ccst of a Boy.

A good deal of comment has been
caused by the statement of John Graham
Brooks that it costs about S25. 900 to bring
up an American boy OF course. this
means a boy who viii have the advan-
tages of college education, and who.
while in college. VIII be allowed q gen
erOus amount Of spending money.
II would be difficult, we think. 10 show
that a boy whose cost Of bringing up
amounts to $4,000 viii be a profitable
product. There are not many American
fathers who can afford 10 spend that
sum for the bringing up of a son. II
there happened 10 be more than one, the
number Of fathers who could afford such
a sum for each Of them would be appre-
Gladly fewer
But we doubt whether the expenditure
Of such a sum Of money is necessary, or
even wise It IS not by such means that
the American boys who have grown into
the men who have done things have ar
rived. The best and biggest men that
have been turned out in America are
those who as boys. ran barefoot through
the ueluS ana Knew lile uetlHLl5 Vi LllS
old swimming hole and the country
schoolhouse-boys who had their own way
TO make in the world One has only to
think of Lincoln the rail-splitter and
Garfield the canal boa.man to recall
a long list OF Americans whose educa-
ton did not cost one-tenth Of the sum
mentioned by Mr.. Brooks.
no lad need feel discouraged because
his father cannot afford TO spend $500
on his education. II he has the right
stuff in him. he VIII get through college
anyway. and nothing can hold him back
If he has the right stuff in him. S25000
spent in education would be a waste OF
money and a mighty improbable in
vestment
It is as true today as it ever was that
it is brains. energy. and determination
that count.
