The lawyers tell ua this means that a man may, In a manner consistent with the equal rights of others, pursue any law ful business or vocation to promote bla own well-being. Now a child can not yet pursue a vocation, but he has a kindred right. He h a s a right to opportunity. This la the child's third fight—this right of opportunity.
