is the fact that 1t is not free to every child

Is the case. Just because our civilization, bust
ness, industry is run on the basis OF a public
school education, because 95 per cent OF men
begin their careers in the business world at
the age of IA. with a public school education
and with tastes and requirements that can
be satisfied with a wage OF $3.50 a week. and

Boys Jobs Out Of Question.
% The only positions we hire inexperienced
men for are at the bottom. These positions
are filled by boys who can afford to start at
the bottom and work up. 1t is obvious that
the job you give to a boy of II and for which
you pay him 81 or IS week cannot be offered

spent a third Of his years studying the
humanities. Quite often the abrupt manner
with which an employer turns down the
educated young man who expresses willing
ness to take a job paying Sc q week is the only
way the employer knows to cut short an
embarrassing situation. 1t Is not dictated
by any I'll will to the college applicant for
the Job, but by unrelenting business neces-
sity.
Give the college man So week job and
he will master every detail Of the work in
month or even in a shorter time. He will
then be ready for a higher position and
raise in wages. To give him higher position
when there are no vacancies is impossible
unless you throw another man out Of his Job.
This is not fair, either. On the other hand,
TO keep the college man working for So a
week for a year and a half or two years
after he has mastered every detail Of the
business would be making hopelessly tnefi-
Client man out of him. He would lose all
interest in his work. He would be dis
gruntled and would experience all the un-

q
What College Boy Must Do.
But what should the college boy do who
wants to enter business?' this employer was
asked. How should be make his start in
the business world? You surely don't want
to bar him forever from entering the particu-
lar field he is interested in simply because
he has had the temporary misfortune OF
having gone to school when other boys went
to work."
No. But then the college man must be-
gin differently. He must work out his saliva
ton, not so much by starting at the bottom or
by being willing 10 start at the bottom as by
wedging himself sideways into the particular
business or occupation he is interested In.
He must look for an opening-not any kind
OF an opening-but the sort OF an opening
where he will 1T in at once. where. indeed.
a man of HE training and OF his education Is
needed. Never before has the Industrial
world been so much in need OF educated men
as # is today. This sounds paradoxical. does
Il not? Educated men are needed in business,
yet they are not given a toothold. But II

though the exact place for them has not yet
been clearly established everywhere. Aman

the particular concern he would like to get
in with Just where he could be used 10 ad-
vantage and in this way secure trial
What this particular employer meant Yves
elaborated on by a college man who few
years ago was tramping up and down the
pavement in the business districts looking
for any kind Of q job. but who is today draw
ing a comfortable salary. This man said:
Seek lob Best Fitted For.
A lot of college men could avoid great
deal of the unpieasantness incidental TO Job
seeking by holding soliloquy with themselves
for a week or so. taking stock OF their
knowledge and OF their tastes and in
clinatIons, and then. after deciding what
their special aptitude was, set out IN search
OF q position accordingly.
For instance, a man who has been study
ing chemistry for years, and who then applies
for a Job in a department store, Is not using
his brain actively With a knowledge OF
chemistry he should look for a Job in a soap
factory. in a canning factory. pickle fac
tory. or in any factory where chemicals are
used. The chemistry which he learned in
school may not At the purposes OF the soap
manufacturer. but a knowledge Of chemistry
will enable that man before long TO get a
better insight into the manufacture OF soap
than the man who knows nothing about
chemistry could get.
Similarly, Il would be foolish for a man
who Is a hnguist to apply for job with a
concern where rapid fire figuring Is an i'm
portant requirement. A linguist, II he wants
to enter business, had better seek to enter
through that branch Oft where his languages
will AFFORD him a logical opening.
These are only a few examples. But
they can be heaped up by the score. The COL
lege graduate. while Handicapped by having
no practical experience, can make up for It
by careful selection and planning a thing
which man with lot OF experience, but
with less analytical training cannot do as
well.
