It is a fact that it will cost some

EDUCAIONE ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS
BY Mae WiIkerson.

Education and success are to the
thoughtful and ambitious person two
very important words. Education is,
in the majority of cases, the basis Of
all successful careers. It is the key
whereby the boys and girls Of today
may open the doors to success.
Those going out in search of en-
ployrnent are not asked by the en-
ployer who they are, or whence they
came, but what they can do. They
do not seek their money. They want
their energies.
There are thousands of opportunities
open to those who can fill them. but
the positions are not for the incom-
petent or the unprepared. Let US.
therefore, seize every opportunity of
improving our minds to a higher level
Of knowledge.
II the average young man who
spends his time in comparative OBJ
security because he has no chance
would study the lives of successful
business men he would find in the
majority Of cases that those men have
earned their way and done so by ap-
plying themselves to each difficulty.
This has forced them above those
whose every advantage of position in
life is evident.
What defense have we with the
many opportunities all around us and
with the prestige OF friends to en-
courage the slightest evidence of per-
severance, when we see the ragged lit
tie school boy, who puts every spare
moment of his time into his studies
in an effort to get an education, rise
above his station and become a recog-
nized business man?
Any person who takes up his school
course with the purpose Of fitting
himself for a paying position, and
who applies the principles contained
therein, will find himself equipped for
most any kind of employment. A
true, ambitious boy or girl will lose no
time in getting down to earnest work.
Look out for opportunities and when
they come. rush in!
Nobody in this age can justly plead
poverty as an excuse for not having
an education. Much of the poverty is
caused by lack of ambition. and a
lack of ambition means failure so far
as his developing his mentality is
concerned. and thus leaves one with
out a foundation upon which to reach
success
When people without special train
ing start out to seek employment they
find the best paid positions closed to
! them, and they are forced to accept
work with millions of other unframed
workers in a field where the supply
exceeds the demand. The successful
men OF today owe their position in life
to hard work and study in their youth.
The young man who is willing to work
with undaunted courage. fearlessly
striving to overcome all obstacles. is
sure to plant his feet triumphantly
on the topmost rung of the ladder and
find his laurels fairly won. Listen,
boys and girls: Let US be optimistic.
Believe in ourselves and in the fact

PRAYER MEETINGS CALLED

Of all sorts are being postponed in
obedience to the advice Of physicians
to avoid public gatherings. The con-

500 delegates here January II, has
been postponed. The non medical res

abatement of the meningitis trouble.
In view OF these precautions, the city

residences containing cases of menin

them from doing this is proving diff
cult under the present quarantine
system.
