John J. Raikob
Tli boyi) In I,ckirt, N. Y., unlck-

of tlXX) a year on

that, b thojr fig
ured It out, WHi
more thnn $S3 a
month. Young pro
femloDul men were
lucky to be mak
ing ai much money
tn Lockport In
tlione uuyti.
If no timn U a
prophet In hi. own country oelther
li the y)iniiter, with whom we piay
a lini, generally conceded to have
money making tralU or cnpubllltlee
above our own. That wai the caae In
!ockport when It became known that
Johnny Itankob bud written to the
owner of an Ohio city atreet rail-
may company for a Job a secretary,
estimating hla value at a figure that
icemed almurd to thone with whom
he hud been rained. ,
Hut John KuNkob got the Job and at
his own price. The man who hired
him wai I'lerre S. Du Punt, then own
er of the traction system In Lorain,
Ohio. Lockport resident! thought
thut the youth was lucky In landing
auch plum.
Before he left Lxport young Itask-
ob had been making $30 a mouth. He
bad asked for a raise to $10 a week,
ttlieo this wai refused hlra be decided
that his tulenta were not appreciated.
He made op bis mind to aeek field!
In whlcn be would receive better
rewards.
80 be wrote to a friend, a young
draughtsman. Sterling II. Bunnell by
name, asking him If there was any
opening for him In Lorain. He re
ceived a reply thnt I'lerre S. Da Pont
was seeking the right sort of a young
man to act as his secretary and aid
In the street railway business.
When John Raskob told bis friends
that be had applied for the Job and
bad asked for a salary of $1,000 a
year they thought at first that he was
fooling. When they were convinced
by the earnest young man that be
actually bad asked for such pay they
were certain that he wouldn't get a
reply even. But they were wrong and
John Itaskob was right lie Invariably
bus beea on financial matters ever
since.
The boy who surprised his Lock
port companions In the matter of get
ting such a big salary was born In
that up state New York city In 1S79.
His father, a solid and substantial
citizen, was In the tobacco business.
John was an average student in
school His quick smile and pleasant
maimer made him popular. He early
showed a liking for business and an
aptitude for figures. Ills father died
when John was In high school. Mrs,
Raskob was left with four children,
The future chairman of the finance
committee of General Motors didn't
try to complete his education by work
lng In hli spare time, lie decided that
the sooner he got a real Job the bet
ter. He realized that he needed spe
cial equipment to get ahead In the
business world.
He left high school and took a com
merclal course In stenography and
bookkeeping. He buckled dowa to
his studies and soon qualified to tuke
dictation and to keep a set of books.
He got a Job at $3 a week. That was
considered fair wages for a beginner
In Lockport in those days.
After six months he asked for an In
crease to $7.50 a week. His employer
agreed to give It to him, but it was
some months before the raise ma
teriallzed. Following two years' work
during which he became an expert
stenographer, an excellent typist and
a first class bookkeeper, he asked
for $10 a week. His employer didn't
think the youngster was worth such
wages to him.
Thut was the turning point in John
Raskoh's life. He wrote to Pierre Du
Pont and went to work for him In
1000. The next year he represented
hla employer us treasurer of a street
car line In Dallas, Texas. His sal
ary had been raised to 1,000 a year,
proving to skeptical Lockport friends
that he hadn't thought too well of
his earning capacity after all.
He went to Wilmington, Del., In
100'J, as assistant treasurer of the
K. I. Du Pont de Nemours company.
Later he becume treasurer and then
vice president of the big chemical
concern. Mr. Du Pont Joined him In
buying Uenerul Motors Block and John
Raskob soon became the directing n
nauclal genius of. that vast corpora
tlon and one of the country's outstand
lng business leaders.

Few Persona Get Full
Advantage of Reading
Thnt there are several million per
sons In the United States beyond the
age of childhood who are illiterate,
rtctrarJicts the statement put by
filiakespenre In the mouth of Dog
berry, that "to rend and write comes
by nature. " There are other millions,
uomlnully literate, who yet read so
little and with such pain, that to them
books are as an Instrument npon
which they have not learned to play.
Prof. Charles H. Judd. of the Uni
versity of Chicago, emphasized this
In speaking on adult ediicntion at
the convocation of the University of
the State of New York: "Until pco
plo are ready to cultivate reading as
they would cultivate the ability to
piny a musical Instrument or to play
golf, they will never be able to use
the best sources of Information with
readiness and full advantage."
Reading aloud Is recognized as an
art, but reading to one's own mind
is also an art, which can be devel
oped, as other arts, by Incessant
practice. If be were to give as mucti
attention to the cultivation of this
skill as the musician gives to his art,
the artisan with leisure and a li
brary would be richer than the man
whose profession or vocation leaves
hi in no time to read swiftly and
thoughtfully In tne literature which
Is "the organ of the race mind" and
whose chief function Is the fusion of
nations and the "enfranchisement of
the soul" of the individual. New
