The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1916-11-17

Presuming that you wish a crit
icism of some conditions in Kend-
rick, l will state only one. 1t is
the lack of opportunities for the
young man to advance in a busi-
ness or financial way. There seems
to be lacking the necessary incen-
tive for advancement in education,
business or in the professions. In
the last ten years, l cannot recall
the name of a young man from
Kendrick who has graduated from
a college.
There have been few, young men
from Kendrick who have become
lawyers, doctors, professors, preach
ers, civil, electrical or mining en-
gineers or statesmen. You will
find few young men in the business
houses, offices or learning a trade.
There are always some young
men who can lift themselves above
their environments, but the great
majority cannot.
This condition of Kendrick boys
is not because of their lack of am.
bition or ability. l will place the
blame on the older people of the
community. We do not encourage
them as to the ways and means OF
becoming useful citizens.
We have no libraries, gymnas
iums nor place of recreation fol
them.
The boys education cannot be
left entirely to the schools anC
sr,urches.
/ am inclined to believe that
this condition is due, to a great ex
tent, by the strife for the almighty
dollar, and the selfishness inherent
in human nature.

LETTERS FROM
BUSINESS MEN
Read at Methodist Church
Last Sunday Night.

The following letters were writ
ten by business men of Kendrick
and read at the Methodist church
last SUNDAY night. Sorae of them
are too severe and exaggerate con-
ditions, but there is more or less
truth in all of them. While they
may apply in some degree to Kend-
rick, they would no doubt apply in
a like measure to most any other
town Of the same size. They are
at least interesting. The subject
of the letters is whats the matter
