To School in a Quul7y
By DR.. VIM. A. McKeeVer.

n EvERAL miles out from the
~ limits Of a big city and at the
- terminus Of a trolley line I
found an eighteen-year-old youth
heaving a rock into a big cart dur
ing an eight-houF day At 50 cents
per hour. he was working with
a gang or negroes and whites feed
ing a hungry stone crusher and
his stunt was about thirty tons
per day. Here indeed was a "melt-
ing pot with no breeze blowing
and the thermometer standing at
nearly 100 degrees.
The case Of this youth was 50
rare and 50 significant that de-
cided to inquire into his entire life
situation and determine its value
on the basis OF the hvs great con-
ditions essential for the Well-being
OF society. which are: health. in
dustry, recreation, sOciability,
spirituality.
Now, as is known by many, I
never grade a person on his ma
terial wealth, but on the character
OF his mind, spirit and method Of
living. So I shall now score this
youth OF the stone quarry on the
100 per cent scale and with respect
to the five essential elements given
above. I want this matter to stand
out sharply to the many young
men who read my articles and to
the parents Of boys OF all agres.
