PLAN URGED TO
EDUCATE BOYS
IN BUSINESS
Advantage to Employer As Well As
TO Employee Seen in Practi-
cal Training.
By q. C. FORBES.

How and where to find job is the
erst serious problem that confronts
-..s. mortals in launching into the
u.r,d. To get a suitable start is of
,,sr7sndous Importance. To-day the
,.raIa business of securing employ
rsrr for youths is unorganized, hap
hazard chaotic. The difficulty of
Gaining the very first foothold is often
5is.ouraging alike to parents and
youths
Can anything be done to remedy
this Can means be provided for
,Aarfnc attractive opportunities to
deserving lads forced to leave school
sr Am early age to earn a living?
Vould not the introduction of some
system for giving congenial jobs to
orr brightest boys in needy circum-
stances. Jobs affording an inspiring
deld for progress, prove an invalu-

able incentive to youthful students
and blessing to employers?
This idea was propounded to me
the other day by one of Boston's
leading business men, William f..
Fitzgerald, who has not permitted a
multiplicity of financial and COM
of human kindness from his heart.
Here is the kernel of Mr.. Fitzgerald's
proposal:
The great majority of boys have
to leave school as soon as they
finish their primary training.
They must find work. They must
contribute to the family purse.
If instead of awarding money
prizes. books, etc, to the pupils
standing highest in their classes,
arrangements could be made to
offer them-say, the five best
scholars in each sChool-attrac-
tive situations in big business or
CARNATIONS both the boys and the
companies would be distinctly
benefited.
The plan would stimulate study,
would induce parents to take a
more practical interest in the
progress being made by their sons
and would tend to increase bust
ness efficiency.
Mr.. Fitzgerald assures me that
large numbers of business men have
given his suggestion their most cor
dial approval and have expressed
their Willingness to join any sys-
tematized movement along the lines
indicated
Can not the plan be put in practice
at least in a modest way without
great trouble or delay?
Certain New York manufacturers
recently completed arrangements to
provide supplementary education
free of cost to numbers of their
workers. Various financial, railroad
and industrial concerns are also doing
noble work in supplying appropriate
education for their employees through
day and evening classes All this
shows that the right spirit is already
taking possession of enlightened en-
ployers
But there is a gap between the
outside of the school door and the
inside of the business establishment.
To bridge this gap for the most
worthy of those who have to get
over it is the object aimed at by Mr..
Fitzgerald.
Those of us who have undergone
the stern experience of striving %
bridge it unaided-and only such, |
believe-can fully realize the value
of the plan outlined. What an in
centive to effort the prospect of hon
orable entrance into a business house
of high standing! What source of
pride to poor people to have their
son walk out of school to be well
coined by a humane employer who
would see to it that their boy got a
fair chance to start life. What an
inspiration to get so promising foot
hold on the first rung of the high
stepladder of success!

Salome Hard to Catch.
When Boyd got around to Salome
however, there was bit of a diver
sion. Salome is something of con
tortionist, and was hard to catch A
happy negro-he was happy because
he was not working and everybody
else was-leaned over the fence and
ventured to proffer a little advice.
Boyd cornered the elusive Salome
and grabbed her by the tail.
Oats de way. boss!' cried the ne
gro, Oats de way! Now fling inn"
And Boyd flung her. He flung her
so hard that Salome struck the ne
gro in the chest, and slid down to his
legs
Negro Flees in Panic.
1t happened quickly. Two or three
kicks. many screams and supplica-
lions. a swishing sound, and the place
where both negro and gator had
scrambled held nothing bu the alliga-
tor. Nobody saw the negro go, but
everybody knew he was gone, be-
cause the wind he raised stirred the
leaves even in the topmost branches.
He did not return.
Salome was hustled up the hill into
the animal house, and then came Old
Man Pete's turn. The old alligator
reared on the bank, his wrath sput-
tcring from him in Venomous spurts

throat looking like an autumn sunset

Bovd tried to drag Pete up on the

bed of the platform in his jaws. He
tried to turn over and wrench the
platform of-the alligators method
of fighting being to grab thing and
then by twisting to his back, wrench
it off-but all he did was to lose a

to bite small piece of iron out of the
wagon-at a cost of several more
teeth
Pete finally was harnessed with
some more ropes. and hauled onto
the platform. He was all cluttered
up with his bonds and as an added
precaution they slipped rope be-
tween his jaws and pried them open
But they forgot his tailor at least

Then Pete awoke to his opportun-

was hauled away to his new home.
The alIigators will be kept in Sc

spring. when they will be put back
in the pool. The turtles will remain
in the pool all winter, $ cold weather

Funera! services over the body Of

At the Mayhem undertaking parlors,

One strange thing In connection
with the case is the fact that on
the night that Kline died he de-

witnstanding the further fact that
the policy was made out Mary An
