Chancey NJ. Depew, ex-senator OF
the United States, say:
What business young man should
go into is dependent upon ability, OPP
portunity, environment ad tempera-
ment. put your question to q young
man here. He answered: What suits
you would not suit me-.
Il think the larger prospects are
in the industrials and railroads. Lin

If ossible, graduate as an electrical
engineer and enter the electrical bus
mess, for | believe that it has great
err future disabilities than any other

Darwin P. Kingsley. resident of the
New York Life Insurance Company,

1T is as true today as it was a gen.
Grafton ago that the boy in the coun-
try who has fought his way through
to the point where he has acquired
college education but has no money
and no connections with important
men must face life as it comes to
him day by day.
He must find his so called destiny
by furious struggle. He cannot calm
ly select what he will do and refuse
some other work that he may not
like. Your query can be properly
answered only by men who were in
opsition to make a definite choice
when they were yocng.
