The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1923-10-24
Senator c. c. Dill, of Spokane, in a

body of Washington State College,
said that the young person might be
wo~4h So a day from the neck down.
if he had good health, but said the
important thing was to be worth
something from the neck up. While
the senator probably did not mean to
encourage the young people to get
away entirely from manual labor, the
fact remains that the general tend
ency is to educate the young person,
especially the young man, to make
living without using his hands to any
great extent No matter how far a
boy wants to go in education, he Will
do well tolearn some useful trade in
connection with his other education.
He will be a more useful citizen and
will be very much less likely to find
himself walking the STREETS in search
of job, or to have his wife earn the
living for the family. A trade de-
tracts nothing from mans mental
equipment and should make him feel
much more certain of the futrre. Skill
in any honest work is something that
a man may feel proud of and means
development of the body from the
neck up as well as below the neck If
the senator will stop to think, the
men who are skilled with their hands
are drawing wages now which would
put the average white collar man to
shame. Give the boy an education,
but also have him learn a trade.

Frank w. Stearns, the wealthy
Boston merchant, would have been
but little known outside his immedi-
ate circle had he not befriended Cal
vim Coolidge as young man, and
stood with him as he mounted upward
step by step, to the highest position
in the land. AS it is the name and |
face of Frank w. Stearns, as the |
closest friend of the president, is |
known to every reading American.
When you are a friend to some little |

man of himself, you are always in
vesting in something which will pay
big dividends, especially in bringing
to you real heart satisfaction, and you
may be factor in developing a man
who will be of greater use to his
and to humanity that you
could ever hope to be. To start a
in the right way, or to help
one who is started is always prof
table investment.
