If l Knew | Would
Get a Position

The boy or girl who hesi-
tates about taking a course
in our school because in
doubt as to whether q posi-
ton would be ready for him
or her upon graduation is
very much like the person
who said, "If 1 knew / was
going to Heaven, 1 would be
good" 1t is sort of putting
the cart before the horse. 1t
is an inverted way of look
ing at things. Nature has
provided that cause must go
before effect, that you must
have the ability before you
can exercise the ability. Prep
aratiOn comes before posi-
ton.
knowledge is a salable
product. knowledge is not
only power, but money.
A young man came into
our office and asked to take
private lessons. He said he
had Just been offered a posi-
ton paying five dollars a day,
but to be able to accept it he
must have greater ability to
figure, and he had only a
week i'm which to acquire the
ability. He couldn't do it.
When we ventured to ask,
"Why didn't you come i'm six
months ago? You knew you
needed the training" He in
dignantly replied, ''HOw did
l know 1 was going to be Of
fered a position like this?"
Right enough! How did he
know?
IL you take our course of
training and complete 1t
there is no question about 1t
when we say you will be
placed in a position. We will
enter into a binding contract
to place you in a position pay
ing a stipulated sum upon
graduation and should we fail
after you have done your
part, we forfeit every cent of
tuition money you have paid
us. Isn't that fair?

When the summer days we're with US,
And we sweltered in the heat,
Through days of sticky misery
And nights with little sleep,
We linked" to lake or river
Where, meath the shady trees. "a
We sometimes gained slight relief
From the intermittent breeze
Yet what we gained from zephyrs cool,
Tempered In east and north.
We lost In swatting flies and gnats
And waxing weak and wroth.
But all of that is altered now
BY the cieverness of man.
We stay at home and find relief
In the new electric fan.
We work mid circling currents,
We sleep In wind that's mild;
The screened-in porch Keeps on the flies;
The fan keeps cool the child.
And, after labors of the day,
To gain most restfu1 ease.
We smoke our choice old meerschaum
In the oscillating breeze.
