ROTARIANS ON
BOY PROBLEMS

Boys; The Lambertville Rotarians
wonder if you realize what good
education will mean 10 yeur lfe's
success.
You know that the chap who serves
best and so is worth the most, is the
one who is the best trained and knows
the most, This is true in both games
and work; the leaders of every line
of work today are the trained and
/ educated mon--the men who know"
Are you going to be leader? We
want you TO be. Will you give your
self n fighting chance by developing
your good qualities If 50, don't
step your education now. Carry it
ON as long AS you can, and you will
find in the end that it pays. Today
practically any boy can acquire u
good education If he wants to have
one hard enough and has the right
kind Of stuff in him.
Consider the matter from the
standpoint Of earning power. Rec
ords were carefully kept Of two SINH
lar sized groups Of boys for the
eleven years after they graduated
from the grammar school. Both
groups at that time had the same
prospects of success, except that one
group had the right idea and the
other group the wrong one. One
group went on through high school
and the other went to work with this
result: Those who attended high
school earned in the succeeding
seven years AN average of S7,337b0
per boy Those who did mot attend
high school earned in the whole
eleven years only an average of
$5,il2.50 per boy, an average of
S2,225 less in eleven years than the
better educated boys earned in seven
years; and the better educated boys
would earn more all the rest Of their
lives.
Money is good TO have, but there
are better things A chap isn't worth
his salt, unless he wants TO be some-
thing worth while You will want TO
be leader IN whatever work you
undertake. You will be interested in
knowing that

Education will put you in II better
position TO earn; will improve your
prospects Of winning position OF
leadership; will equip you better for
setvice; and will make life better for
worth while in thousand ways. We
who have been fighting lfe's battles
know the supreme importance OF
these things and so we urge you to
seize now your opportunities for
good education The high school
opens on September 4th. Will you
be there?
OF course, you want to have tho
fullest possible measure Of success
But perhaps that job which you cur
get right now looks good TO you; the
wages you are offered looks big, anC
you want to have money to spend
The big question to think Of, however
is what kind Of position will you b'
able TO get five or ten years from
now
Recently the Chief Engineer n
charge of the construction Of new
railroad wanted five college grad
yates. He couldn't find any, for thu
boys all had good Jobs already. Al
ad in a newspaper called for youni
man with college education, art
! there were no replies. Another a
: for a young man for an ordinary OF
1 flee job brought sixty-three replies
Y You see the educated fellows are tn
!. ones who usually have good jobs an
= do not need to reply to ads. Thin
S the matter over and let us knoN
e where you stand.
I Sincerely yours,
Lambeftvile Rotary Club.
