The university DR.. coNwErt.

cannot afford to leave their work "a !.

the common schools cannot 20 far enou,.

The university, therefore. must \.

Raised Cash Girls Income to $3.50
The romances of its strange develop
ment out of nothing and having no
money or income is in itself striking
truth. But a few facts will hint al rs
marvellous experience. A boy had a pea
nut stand on Broad street. and one eve
ming was told by stranger that he
could get an education at Tempa He
expected to sell peanuts for yeas and
thought an education mere dream irI
him. He is now a successful physician
in a fine community. A girl getting
three dollars a week in a millinery store
as cash girl decided to learn some
thing" at Temple, and only five years
later her income from her own millinery
store is three thousand six hundred and
fifty dollars above all expenses for each !
year.
A wife, whose husband was stricken
with a paralytic disease in the pulpit had
one son and no income. They faced star
vation. She managed to get rough work
enough to hold the three together for
year and had half time at Temple NOW
her income is ample for all their com
forts and partly for a home, and she
has maintained her son in college 70
Two boys waiting on the dyers al
large factory determined to STUDY a.
Temple together in their noon and eve
ming hours. They are at the head OF 'ns
dye works there now. One factory mas
sent fifty-three students through sns
college courses.
