Mana laughed merrily. where
do you suppose Eve herself would
have begun If there were shops
and she had a nice big check in her
pocketbook? Figure that out for
yourself"
Visions OF furs and gowns
danced in Kits head and came out
in her eyes.
Let me give you a little more
practical advice"
please do"
First off. get yourself a good
address, but don't spend more than
you have 10 for good apartment.
If you want any help, ring up my
secretary and she'll tell you where
to look for one. She'll also give you
the name Of my modiste and you'll
get a professional discount. Dress
well, because you'll have a lot Of
pictures to pose for. And when you
want car, don't buy one!'

1t at the moment.
Getting rich quick isn't always
a good idea. 1t seems as if there
is no bottom to the pile Of gold.

Student Holding Sample job While
Tn School Gets Preview OF Business

Next in Importance is what it
means to the school. The school
follows it's students into jobs, looks
on while they try to make ADJUST
ments and do the work expected of
them, and then has the advantage
of being given a low-down on them
by the various employers. Thus the
school is in a position to revise its
curriculum to better meet the
needs Of students.
All Concerned
Benefit From Plan
And as for the employers, they
like the idea. 1t gives them a feel
ing of having a say-so in the way
their future employees are being
trained for jobs. Instead of NUT
tering, "Why don't schools teach
young people so-and-so?" they can
talk the matter over with the pub
lie school authorities.
It is all very well for old-fash'
toned educators to lean back in their
chairs and say, 1--WE believe in edu'
cation for education's sake" But
boys and girls with their way to
make in the world expect their edu'
cations to help in a practical way.

Y, will have G. good idea of what
it is all about.
For, thanks to the very practical
mind of Frederick Y. Manning one
of the teachers, by the time June

been apprenticed for two-week pc
RODS in nine different business
concerns.
The scheme has a three way
value.

business world from a variety OF
vantage points, but each employer
reports on him and he has an op'
