GETTING A JOB
BY Roger W. Babeon

Henry has been delivering goods for
a clothing store in a small New Eng
land city. He had been through
school for two years. At noon time
and on Saturday, evenings he was al
lowed to wait on a few customers.
but his progress had been very slow.
He saw his friends getting ahead and
he became impatient and unhappy.
Besides Henry had become interest
ed in a nice lit,l red-haded girl: for
thre years they had been together and
she was getting a litsl impatient.
Nothing hurt Henry SO much as 70
have her ask him n in a viii e
how he was getting on at the store.
His conscience troubled him. and the
blood always rushed to his cheeks
whenever she referred to his job.
During school days he had don.
yer we'll in mathematics. The last
year he led his class in arithmetic.
He always wanted to be an account
ant although he was coming to be-
lieve that there was no more chance
Of his being an accountant than to be
President of the United States. But
one day he saw a light. 1t was a
news item in his daily paper tina,
Uncle Sam had opened up employ
ment offices III most of the leading
cites of the United States. The story
a'so said that this employment serv-
ice was interested in young men and
anxious to help them get placed in
work which they were especially anx.
ious 10 do.
Henry didn't know whether or no,
there was an Office of the United
States Employment Service in hi:
city. but. Ike a bright boy. he wen
to the postoflce and inquired. Thu
postmaster directed him to the near,
est office. This office was entirely diff.
ferent from any Of the old-fashionet
private Offices to which he had beer
in the past. TIE man in charge wa.
very pleasant and talked to Henr,
like a true friend. He didn't ask hin
for n money. but just tried to he'll,
him the best he could. When the ma,
! asked him what he would like to d.
Henry told him about his success i,
arithmetic and how he would like t,
] be a cost accountant" The EN-
ployment agents eyes at once bright
ened and he said: I'VE are lookin,
for some good bright boys to assist ii
accountancy. Would you like to hav
me get you a position as an assistan
accountant"
You bet I would" replied Henry.
Today Henry has a nice position /,
