SHOWS EMPL OVERS DEMANDS
Boys at High School Get Some Idea of
Demands That VIII Be Made OH
Them When They Seek Positions in
Great Industrial institutions.

On Monday, there appeared over the
reading table in the high school, an
interesting and valuable statement
for boys to read aud consider.
1t is a personal record chart, and
gives the questions which business
people and others who employ boys
are asking about them. It not only
shows the sort of questions that are
asked, but the kind Of people who
ask them, Any sensible boy will see
that it is an exceedingly foolish thing
for him to queer his future by doing
things that will have to be explained
away. The world is too busy for men
with long explanations.
Here is a sample paragraph from
the Chart
Every youth aspiring to positions
of responsibility or trust, to new CON
nections, advancement, or political
honors, should learn this fact; aYour
Personal Record viii Follow you all
your Life. The questions were TAX
en- from printed forms regularly used
by large concerns for answers of APP
plicants seeking positions.
No s Do you (a) use tobacco (b)
smoke cigarettes? Asked by U. S.
Civil Service Commission, great rail
way corporation, great manufactur-
ing establishment, a great banking
company.
No. 10. Have you always lived
within your income2
No. II. Are you in debt? If SO,
how much? Fort what?
There are also questions about previ-
Gus employment, and list asked the
references. One of the latter is this
/" Have you ever known, or heard of
his being suspected Of fraud, dishon-
estT, intemperance, gambling, specu-
lation, extravaganza, unfavorable as
ISOLATION, dishonorable conduct9'
No SO. lis he industrious, careful,
thorough, honest, truthful, trust
worthy. s.
The significance Of all this to the
school boy is this: that the character
istics he shows as a boy are very apt
to follow him into manhood, and that
in order to have the record necessary
to succeed as a man, he must begin to
make it early.
There is no preaching about the
Personal Record Chart. 1t has the
force Of q demonstration. It should
teach.
Through the generosity Of Mrs.
Windesheim the chart for the high
school room has been well framed and
is ready for use. Mrs. Bradford has
bought charts for each of the five
large schools and they will be hung as
soon as provision can be made for
their framing. The Y. M. G. A. will
also have one
