OPPORTUNITIES NEAR HOME.
Progressive Towns Offer Exesiisnt
Advantages for Young Men.

Students In sociology have recent.
iy expressed pessimistic Views ~ TO
chances for the success OF young mon
Of country districts. There has been
no denying Of tho fact that the farm
affords a splendid opportunity for
those inclined towards = pastoral life.
but II Is maintained that OF recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed In the average business
vocation. That In that the channels
for his development arc being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation OF corporations and
trusts for the control Of various In.
dustries. In other words. the cen.
tralixstion OF business IL considered
detrimental to the pursuing OF buSi.
ness In mercantile lines on q small
scale.
This subject IL open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns OF tho United
States arc rapidly building up. The
population OF the country is incrcas-
Ing wonderfully. With this increase
In population new opportunities pre-

Intelligent cndeavor. The towns. par.
ticuiariy Of the west. are embryo cit
les. and the little village OF to-day
will be the large city q quarter cen.
,ury hence. Almost every town af.
fords the progressive young man
chance for business success. Oppor-
iunitics are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover them.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
IL dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from. or upon
some particular advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufacture.
ing along certain lines. The oppor.
tunitics for young men arc to somo
extent guagcd by the life and prog.
rcsx OF tho towns. Heads OF families
look forward to tho time when their
sons may enter into business or pro-
fcssionni life. Ties OF kinship arc
strong and few parents care to have
grown sons and daughters far away
from them. In this is discovered .
reason why residents OF rural dis.
trict should take more than ordinary
interest In tho home town. Inc moro
important the local town the greater
arc tho opportunities for the young
men OF the nciEhborhood engaging In
business In II. In thousands OF cities
and towns OF the United States the
leading business men to-day are the
beys who were farmers sons n quar-.
ter or u half century ago. In modest
ways they started In business In the
home town. and with the progress OF
the town developed Ms business men.
The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are still open to the
youths Of to-day. but remember that
many OF these men would not have
been the great business men they arc
to-day only for the fact tbs tovrs
where they located were progressive
places which gave tho opportunity 70
succeed.
