We have for years past noticed the
very undesirable feature in the atteu |
dance OF the public school in the high
er grade, viz: There are as a rule, many |
more girls attending than boys. Why
is this1 Where are tne boysi Taey |
leave school many of them, in their
early or middle teens as soon as they |
are able to get position as clerk IN |
some store or office under the impress.
sion that they are wasting time by re |
malndiEg III school longer. The aver
age boy thinks that If he gets some |
business position that will enable him |
to earn few dollars a month and that |
looks toward lis rnal occupation in |
life, while his classmates stick to school |
three or four years longer, he has just
so many years to start OF his eOmpan,
ions who remain in school. Now the
real facts i'll the case are that the re.
verse of this is the truth. The boy who |
remains IN scaOol and acquires thoI
ough education lays foundation that
will surely, other things being squal,
enable him to surpass his classnate VINO
lett school three or four years earlier.
