Coming IN Contract With Business World, Brghn the Mind
Sharpens the candSh ShapeCh Character

A question that confronts every
young man or woman is, What educa-
ton have 1 in the ways of the world,
and am 1 familiar with them?"
1t is true most everyone disiikes to
start the battle of life. Nevertheless,
to delay securing your training, is but
making your task the harder, for lack
of this experience breeds backwardness
rebuffs of the world extremely hard
to take. This failing overcome, you
ares then, half equipped for life.
The natural question that arises is,
How can / overcome this obstacle?"
One can only learn the ways of the
world by coming in contact with it.
Every one has to take the world as
they find it, and solve its difficulties
as they are met. In other words, learn
to meet people on their own plane or
status in life, as it is not always pos
slble to meet them on your own.
What would become of me if thrown
into the world on my own reSources?'
is a disagreeable thought that most
young folks quickly dismiss from mind
Is this doing yourself justice? A young
person, thrown suddenly into the
world, without previous experience in
meeting people is severely handicapped
At best the young man or woman
starting life has a hard row to hoe,
and, without some previous commerci-
al training, is practically helpless.
