Planting the Seed of Ambition
One Of the finest things in this world
A Tribute to the Men who Help Young Men

One Of the finest things in this world
is to see 4 young man with high
ideals making good, rising In the
scale OF life. putting himself among
men who accomplish things.
And another OF the finest things
in IL. wori; Is - see al older man
who has overcome the obstacles OF
youth and has made n position for
himself thinking of young men and
helping them to get right start.
A little help. suggestion. some sign
Of faith and confidence from a sue
cessful man TO an ambitious boy has
a wonderful influence in helping
that boy to accomplish the things he
has set out TO do-and to inspire in
him the desire for greater things.
Looking back in memory every
successful man OF middle age can see
some man or men who by word or
deed helped him over the hard places
In youth. encouraged him in times Of
doubt. and by an expression OF faith
and confidence created an inspiration
that led 10 greater effort One OF the
brightest spots In memory Is the
thoughts we have o. these men and
Of their unseihsh interest in the
youth about them
You. whether you are young
old. know OF such men-men who
have time in their busy lives to think
OF and help others.

section OF the state.
He had a large family Of his own.
eight OF nine and he put them all
through good colleges. That. Of
course. Is what al men do who know
and can.
But he has always had time to think
OF others aside from his own family.
Almost from the first year his shin
gle VAS hung up his office has been
the study place for the young men
OF his county who have aspired TO
the Law. Nearly always there has
been a young man In the office. using
his books and receiving his help
without compensation or obligation
In knocking about over the country
in many states. have found men who
praise the name and appreciate more
than words can tell the helpful in
nuence OF the man I am thinking
about
Spoken or written words are shall
low things to pay for helpful inspir-
ation-for the encouragement that
makes men OF growing boys. And
yet how seldom are even they spoken
IN time7
Words OF appreciation usually 20

day and he stopped me to say.

replied. Well you know. circum-
stances alter cases.
Yes" he said. Circumstances do
alter cases. but any young man who
amounts TO anything must create
his own circumstances. A man can
accomplish about what he wants to
in this world. II he goes at it hard
enough. But the first thing neces-
sary Is some education How about
going TO college?"
Nov college in that day seemed a
hopeless ambition to a boy without
money IN the family. But II was
figured out. and without financial
help TOO. and came out Of college,
a little too soon perhaps. but with
more money in hand than I had in
the beginning. or course there is
nothing remarkable about that, as
every man who has gone through col
iege- more or less on his own re-
sources. knows how easy II is to do.
But getting a boy started Is the
thing Planting the seed OF ambition
In youth IS better for him than CIV
ing him n thousand dollars.
Planting the seed OF ambition in
youth. and fostering its growth with
iftfie announcements OF faith and
confideuee-these are noble deeds
worthy q the greatest praise.
To DO so habitually and generously
with numerous young men Of n CON-
munity marks man a greater ben
efaetor 20 his community than he
who builds a library or a hospital
or leaves a million dollars to a IA
vored few.
And 10 such a man who draws
neE 70 the end OF the great race-
who can look back over many years
Of heipfni effort to others-wha,
s'<z1:1 so<acould be his than TO iooa,
out over the world and see the re.
suits Of his unseifish efforts In help
ing others to help themselves in a
larger way-and perchance TO see
'hem following In that good example
by helping TO plant the seed OF am
hition in a new generation OF youth
To such a man the saving up OF
money or the accumulation OF a for.
tune. or the empty honors Of past
well earned titles and fame are but
chAff as compared to there happy
memories and the satisfaction Of see
ins the results OF such effort.
There is no nobler work in this
world than that OF helping 10 inspire
high ideals and worthy ambition in
the youth about us.
To such men ~e pay our highest
tribute.
