OFFICE BOYS.

Business men lament the scarcity of office boys It's which enables keep their boys in school instead of sending them out to hustle for a living.
 If this is the true explanation, it probably is the public view the situation with equanmity de- srabe to have adequate supply of office boys still more desirable to have supply of boys equipped with enough book learning give them good start life
 There's much to be said for the training bright youngster gets in business institution through exact ing routine duties and with hustling fairs And thousands of successful business today look back with pride and satisfaction their ofceboy beginning But the selfmade systems gamble at best. For untaught ofceboy who rides and tncton there many that a mediocre level succumb to the temptations beset lad of un- formed character
 It's farer for the boy and safer for the community let him get little age growth and little more book learning under his hat before turning him work his way Then, if he has the stuff in him, he'll make good all the quicker.
 A college graduate took job few years ago as of flee boy in the Cleveland headquarters of big corpora tion. He took it because he wanted that poration, and it the only job there was open The other office boys-mere kids-guyed him and played jokes him. They still office boys and he is now head of a big department.

High Street. ShOreditch, fined 15 pounds at Old Street yesterday
 And the reader asks: What would have been done with such offenders in American city? It is safe to say, nothing Even had definite, well known laws prohibiting such oenses, the ordinary citizen would wink the breach of them "Oh we'll" he'd say it isn't worth troubling about"
 That shows the difference, remarks the reader between the Englishman and the American We're too easygoing We allow ourselves to be imposed "The Englishman, the contrary is always standing up for his rights and for deal all round. and if he doesn't get it he takes time to make trouble for ard the punish ment of those who in defraud him offend him and in this he is promptly seconded by the courts"
 It's just criticism. It such English standing up for ones rights that revolutionary foreahers revolt against England But we've lost much of that spirit, to great disadvantage.
