Give the Children a Chance
By DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

In hundreds Of thousands OF homes
In this country there are boys and
girls who have just graduated from
High School. and who must now take
upon their young shoulders the
burden Of earning their own ilveli-
hood.
They face the world with quaking
hearts and bewildered eyes. They
do not know which way to turn. and
their parents are either too ignorant.
or too careless and indifferent to
point out the path they should take.
They must find Job. but they have
been taught no trade or profession.
they have been fitted to do no par
ticular line of labor.
When they start out looking for
work they find that nobody wants
their unskilled services. Every en-
employers first question is: "Are
you o good mechanic?" Can you
keep books?" Are you stem
ographer?" Are you a salesman?
Can you cookr' Can you drive a
carr" And when they answer mo,
they are turned away, and the door
Of opportunity is shut in their faces.

In all such cases the parents blame
the children. Mother sighs and says
that she IL afraid that Johnnie ana
Mary are not going to amount to
much. they don't seem able 10 find
anything to do. Father looks black
and grumbles that he isn't going to
feed any lazy, trifiing. good-for-noth-
ings who 60 out looking for Jobs with
their eyes shut.
But the real fault Is with the
parents. They are to blame. The
children have a right to reproach
them for crowding them out OF the
home nest without ever taking the
trouble to teach them how to fly.
There are many fathers and
mothers of Spartan mould who be-
lieve that the best way to teach q
child independence and to harden
its character is to chuck IL out into
the world and make it depend upon
itself for its own salvation. Some-
times this plan works out admir-
ably. Oftener it ends in disaster.
But In any case it would seem the
part Of the sheerest humanity to
throw some sort of a life raft out
along with the poor little swim
mer to which it could cling.
This consists in giving the boy
or girl some sert of trade. in
teaching him or her some definite
useful occupation by which he or
she can make a living. To do that
is to give the young one a fighting
chance in life. To fail to do II is
to send it weaponless out TO fight
the hard battle of life.
The parents who have their chill

which the world is willing to pay.
have safeguarded their sons and
daughters from want and misfor-
tune as far as human protection
can go. They have done their duty
by their children.
But tho parents who teach their
children no special trade, who cul-
tivate no especial skill for any art
of craft in them, but who let them
blunder along from one bunglinGly
performed job to another, have ut
terly failed in their duty. They

have left their children's fate en-
tirely to luck and chance.

luCh anu CuduCSs
Perhaps IL fathers and mothers
realized that their children's whole
lives depends upon their being given
the right start they would not view
thig matter of the business train
ing of boys and girls so casually.
Perhaps they would see it as the
vital matter IL Is and instead of
telling John and Mary to hustle out
and get a Job, and expecting them
to take the first work that is Of
fered them. they would move Heaven
and earth to fit their boy and girl
for so worthwhile work. and the
thing that he or she was destined
by nature to do.
Father SCOTS at this theory of
what he calls coddling the young.
He says that nobody helped him
that nobody gave him any train
ing; that he went and found his
FIRST job himself and began by
sweeping out the office, and now
look at him. He is floor manager.
Fine! Congratulations to father!
But he doesn't reflect that times
have changed, that business men
are too busy nowadays to train
their cub ONCE boys, and that there
Is no place in any efficient organi-
zation for the young man or wom-
an who isn't skillful and cannot
turn out good work. These are the
days Of professional not amateur
business. Which makes fathers
case no guide for John.
Also one might tell father that
he wasted ten years of time in
climbing from the Office boys bench
to the bookkeeper's stool that any
good commercial school could have
bridged for him in q six months
course.
An interesting case illustrating
this came under my own obser-
vation. A bright, intelligent, en-
ergetic boy graduated from high
school. His father told him that
now he must stand on his own feet
and go out and get q job. For a
whole year the boy walked the
streets of a city hunting work, and
finding none worth doing because
he had absolutely no skill or train
ing in any line. He could have
been q dish washer or a ditch dig
ger, but he knew himself ftted for
something better, and had enough
sense not to. waste his youth in do
ing something that would lead him
nowhere Finally, he grew dis
couraged and began to believe him

whom the world has No place. and

Mrs. Saylor denied having termed
Campbell ''superman'' and said their

him, she said, to call at her home to
sec to the dogs welfare. Also she
visited his home to look at some
