GO BACK TO
SCHOOL
BY w. A. McKeev
Widely Known Lecturer and Author
and . National Authority on
Juvenile Problems.

Widely Known Lecturer and Author
and . National Authority on
Juvenile Problems.
TUsT now. at the approaching Of
the new term, many thousands
u OF youths are faltering serious
ly on the subject Of further attend
ance at school. My advice IL. by all
means 20 back to the class room.
1t may for the time being seem
easy to hold down q Job and to earn
all the money you appear to need.
But that will prove only a tempo
rary arrangement. Sooner or later
your lack Of schooling may come up
and slap you squarely in the face.
You will see educated young men
passing over your head. while you
remain on some dead level Of &C
complement.
So many young men have an en-
tirely wrong idea OF the common
school course. They imagine It's pur-
pose is to learn something you can
at once take out into the world and
sell or turn into direct profit. But
that is a cheap, short-sighted view
Of the matter.
Up till you are twenty-one or
more you must think Of the best
school as a place to grow into a
fuller and deeper knowledge OF the
world and its affairs. In the school
you may study q little, read much,
discuss hundreds of things, and thus
acquire q fondness for knowledge.
Finally. you grow an ambition to be
somebody and to do something worth
while.
Young men are often surprised
when ! tell them that almost any
kind of progressive school is good
enough. While you are still young
and impressionable you simply need
some agency to stimulate your in
terest in things worth while and
self-improvement.
A common high school, a school
OF craftsmanship with some cul-
tural subjects like English and his
tory included, a business college that
holds up high ideals-surely one Of
those can be found to tit you. Make
haste to get into It. ..-..
Yes, know you are interested In
making money and getting ahead
financially. That Is precisely what
is thought of in this admonition to
go back to school. The general
growth Of your mind. the deeper
grasp Of some additional subjects.
the better knowledge Of how to get
on with people. the new, manifold
vision Of larger and more inde-
pendent career--these are the sub
tie forces which the school course
quietly organize within you, issuing
finally In a personality which can
go out and command bigger wages
and Tar happier relation to bust.
ness.
So you see. my boy. want you to
go to school--not 20 much to mas
tor certain subjects and to obtain
some grades, but to learn how to
master yourself. Do not grow
sour" on the world OF prowess
about you. Do not grow bitter
with envy at other young men
who succeed through education.
Resolve to get into the moving pro.
cession yourself and learn to keep
step with the best Of them.
Force yourself back into school,
my boy.

PHONE RELICS

From an old trunk formerly own
ed by George G. Maynard. who ostab-
lished the first telephone system In
Washington, ID. G., some interesting
relics OF the early days OF the tele-
phone ut the national capital have
been brought to light by the editor
OF the Transmlttcr. published by tho
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company.
Not the least Interesting item IL an
inventory OF the telephone lines
maintained by Maynard in Washing
after his enterprise was undertaken.
These lines include:. "Brlck yard,
gas office. Wheatley's State Dept. to
Presldts Ho., Presidts Ho. to Treasy
Dept, Treasy. Dept. to Agric. Dept,
and the Med. Mus. to Surg. Gen'ls
Office" for a total Of 72,911 feet or
1873 miles.
Some indication Of the remarkable
development OF the telephone In less
than half century IL afforded In the
fact that this crude system has grown
until the company OF which II was the
forerunner now has ,1,0s5,S74 miles
