GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE.

The boy who at fifteen Or sixteen
must give up his regular schooling and
go TO work needs all the help and en-
couragement that his employer can
give him. His mind Is unframed.
His will is undeveloped. His power
of self-dependence is weak. His abil-
ity to plan for himself and direct his
efforts is poor. And yet he is con-
fronted with mans problems, he
must compete with mature minds, he
must take care of himself in new
world where clear thinking. earnest
endeavor and self-control are the de-
terminating factors The hope. there

hoy is his boss-the man who can
either make him or ruin him. Each
boy presents 10 his employer a won

worker is challenge to the man

material out of which can be nodded
an efficient and faithful employee.
writes William Marvin Jackson in
Forbes Magazine. The boy is there
with his latent powers and energy;
all he needs is a boss of the right
kind; a boss who will consider him
