Read the advertisements, boy
They are clipped from the Wanted
columns of the Chicago Daily Tribune
and tell a story.
Boys are wanted. But
Only certain kinds of boys are want
ed. And the business men who want
them are careful to specify in partic-
ular.
Intelligent boys are wanted. Bust
ness men have no use for boys who
cannot read and write and figure. To
be of account in business life boy
must be quick to know and act and
think
Honest boys are wanted. Read the
advertisements. Three of the adver-
Users demand references. Why? Be
cause they want somebody who knows
the boy to tell them that he is straight
and truthful and may be depended
upon.
Educated boys are wanted. One of
the advertisers wants a high school
graduate. another a boy who has fin
ished the grades. Why? Because the
schools teach boys to be neat and
clean and to obey orders. all of which
the boss demands.
But mainly an educated boy is want.
ed because he Is taught in the schools
how to concentrate his mind on his
task, how to consider and imagine
how to balance and Judge things. In
short, the school teaches boys the
things they need to know when they
are men.
