In one of it's excellent studies Con
vocat tional guidance) the Russell Sage
Foundation took up the thirteen-year-
old bows of our cities of $4,000 and over.
The findings are interesting. For ex-
ample:
After age thirteen the boy is not COM
PEELED to go to school; many go to work
then. Does this mean that they nave
necessarily received enough education
to fit them to be good citizens and
efficient money makers?
Hardly, 1t was found that thirteen
year-old boys were in every grade from
kindergarten through high school, ana
more than half of them were IN the
sixth grade or below.
For half of our boys. therefore, there
is pressing need to keep them longer IN
school. If they must work after the
fourteenth birthday. they ought aiso
to have school training along with the
work.
only about one-half of the boys Of
thirteen are living in the city of their
birth, and but one in six OF their
fathers. That indicates the shifting
money earners.
In this study, figures were compiled
as to the number of workers in l40
occupations. OF this number, only
slant occupations-that is, the neces-
sary things which must be done to
keep the city's business going. These
are as follows:
Laborers. 81 per thousand of popu-
lation; storekeepers. IS; clerks. b.
IL: steam railroadmen, IL; machinists
s; bookkeepers. s; walters, s; engineers,
5; printers, 4: blacksmiths, 4: masons,
4 BARRIERS, 3; plumbers, 3; street rail-
waymen. 8; shoemakers. 2; bakers. 2;
and stenographers and typewriters and
chauffeurs, proportion undetermined.
These are the constant occupations-
the Jobs which are steady" They en-
ploy more than half of all the workers
of the city 1t is toward some one OF
them that your boys steps are leading
and your girls.
Which occupation among these
twenty-one offered by the city is likely
to pay the best, to lead to the most
satisfactory living? Your child's future
is involved in the answer.
It is an axiom that the better boys
education, other factors being equal,
the better will be his earning power.
Carpenters earn more than laborers.
printers more than teamsters. They are
better educated. Is that mere coin
cidence?

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, September 28-The cot
ton market opened barely steady at a
decline of to IA points today in re-
sponse to lower cables, with December
selling at 1900 and January at 1905.
Rumors that a southern statistical bu-
reau estimated the condition of the crop
at 5s.s, against 627 last month, and the
ginning up to September IS at 4,29o,0
to 4,3S0,00O bales may have inspired
some of the early selling, but offerings
were checked by apprehensions of lower
temperature in the belt and the mark ct
soon turned steader. December rallied
to 1907 and January to 1915 before
the end of the first hour on covering
Futures opened barely steady: Octo-
Der. 1856; December, 1000: January.
1910; March, 1929; May, 1915.
The early rally carried December up
to 1903 and January to 1918, or 5 to
points net higher, and it was estimat-
ed around the ring that the buying by
Wall street, Liverpool and trade in
terests during the first hour represent
ed at least $4,000 bales. Later demand
was comparatively quiet around mid
day although prices held steady within
a point or two of the best.
Although much comment was aroused
by a forecast of rd-breaking gin
ming to September %, the market held
steady and improved moderately. In
the trading up to noon prices were put
to points over yesterdays close.
The steadiness was chiefly due to IA
vorable mill accounts.
