THE OTHER SIDE OF IT

Two monkeys met upon vine
That stretched from tree to tree.
And having not the room to pass
Stopped for tete tete.
With tails locked in all friendliness
They balanced on their launches,
And talked of many scandalous
things,
And picked fieas off their paunches.
Said monkey number one, my dear,
You know, it's quite a shame
The way some folks are trying to
climb,
BY using our name.
They tell me human critters who,
Perhaps ne'er climb a tree
Are trying to claim ancestral rights
With such as you and me-"
"Is that a fact?" said number two,
"Such disgrace can't be beat,
Why, those brutes murder by the
score,
And steal and lie and cheat.
An outrage, I'd pronounce it
To have our family name
Tempered with by critters who
Are void of any shame"
Just yesterday. I think it was,
I read in Jungle Life,
Where one of these same critters
stole
His brothers only wife.
And left him lying in the bed,
Near deaths door with the flu,
Now, would you say such a thing
as he
Was any kin to you?
And in the same lille sheet 1 saw
Another barbarous thing,
Two fellows in the name of sport
Crawled in a squared off ring
And knocked each other round
about
While thousands gave a cry
Of Kill him Jerry, break his necki
Oh, biff him in the eyel"
Said number one, at must be stop
ped.
1t can be in a minute,
l have a kinsman of much might
Up in their national senate.
I'll have him pass law at once
Against family intrusion
And put a stop to what they call
Science of Evolution"

THAT SELF-MADE MAN

The self-made man is a product
OF which any American is justly
proud. And yet do you know that
he occurs only in the ratio of six to
one million of our population?
To one of him there are 97S men
who have gained distinction with
the aid of a college education.
1t has been demonstrated that
without schooling only 81 out of s.
100000 attained distinction.
With elementary schooling only
sos out of 93,OOO,0OO attained dis
tinction.
With high school education 1245
out of 100000 attained distinction.
With college educations 576S out
OF 100000 attained distinction.
While such eXamplars as Lincoln
are inspiring to our national pride,
the boy who, like Lincoln, is with
out any schooling whatever is a
long shot of 97S to 1 in the race for
fame against a college boy.
And even one with high school
education has about one chance to
win fame against nine for person
with college degree.
