MILFORD, FRIDAY, JUNE Is. 1928
ADVISING THE YOUNG PEOPLE

About now, when young people
are through school and college, they
are very apt to ask advice as to
their future careers from teachers.
business and professional men, etc.
1t is claimed that the young peo-
pie nowadays do not take any ad-
vice, and many of them refuse to
take any from their parents at least.
But many of them feel bewildered
by the problems involved in starting
in life, and they seem very serious
as they come around to ask an older
persons Judgment on their situa-
ton.
There is such thing as taking
too much advice. After people have
heard contrary opinions from a doz-
en- different sources, they feel COM
pletely mixed up and are likely to
decide their course by chance. Yet
those who accept advice commonly
come out better than those who
strike ahead blindly and take what
ever comes easiest.
A prospect that looks very attrac-
tive from the outside, is frequently
quite the reverse. An experienced
person can be very helpful to young
people, if he will give them the
benefit of his observations. Some
people have such violent prejudices
that their advice is of but little
value. But when people have made
a success of some occupation, they
commonly have somewhat balan-
ced judgment.
Half Of the young people fail to
get the results they might, because
of fundamental misunderstanding Of
conditions they have to meet. What
they need is to go to some more ex-
perienced person, and get their opin-
ion about these conditions, and ask
them what they would better do I'M
der such circumstances. 1t is often
difficult to advise them, yet anyone
who has had considerable expert
ence can throw light on their prob
lens. The people of Milford or other
towns should be glad to give their
time for this purpose, whether they
have any personal acquaintance
with such callers or not.

NOW BIZ FACES THE NORLD


The week following graduation
frequently is time Of heart-search-
ing for many young people. Many a
conscientious young man gazing
upon the beautifully lettered diplo-
ma asks himself rather gloomily,
"Now that I have it, what am I go
ing to do with it?"
1t may be, perhaps, something of
a disappointment for the youthful
bachelor of arts to find that the
great world of business and of eV-
eryday affairs doesn't seem to real
ize that he has graduated and is
ready to offer his services. A college
professor in recent commencement
address said, "It is not a convincing
or an edifying spectacle if a man
who can display college diploma
and attach degree to his name,
gives the impression that he has no
idea what to do with them"
The tendency to put dollar esti-
mates upon everything is not quite
the attitude held in former times
with regard to an education, and Is
not necessarily right. Surely the
state in contributing largely to the
higher education of an individual
has a right to expect him to render
some worthy contribution to society
in return. But the highest public SER
vices are not always those most am
ply rewarded in money.
For the most part the great scien-
tiic research work carried on by
various departments of the govern
ment is in charge Of highly trained
men and women whose salaries are
quite ordinary if not meager. And
for the love of this work many of
these scientists persist in their en-
deavors through life hoping for no
large monetary returns.
Educators, preachers, and many
others who devote their lives to ser
vices they believe to be for the good
of others, always have found their
remuneration in money less than
they might have hoped to achieve in
other callings. And always the
worthiest students have been those
who sought culture for itself and re-
garded money as Of secondary i'm
portance.

PAY DIRT


and the rush is on.
What is true of the gold rush and
the oil boom is true Of communities.
Let the outside world know that in
Delaware it will find good wages,
prosperity, unusual business oppor-
tunities and industrial advantages
and it will buy its own ticket.
Why do not more communities
take this lesson from the gold rush? ?
Many can trace their growth in pop
ulation and greater prosperity to
that day they decided to broadcast
the news that they had something
the world wanted. Notable examples
have been Los Angeles, the Florida
resorts, Detroit, all Of which sprang
into prominence almost over night.
Every city and town has its "Vein
Of gold" or its "oil gusher" and Mil
ford is no exception. Too frequently,
communities wait to be discovered
from the outside. They do not even
know themselves.
There is no more propitious time
than the present for Milford to dis
cover itself and then to tell the
world about what it discovers. There
is not citizen who does not believe
that this is the very community for
which many are even now searching.
Even those who have not yet dis
covered its natural resources do not
doubt their existence. Community
prospecting always produces paying
dirt"
