FRIDAY, NOVEMBER tne nee«-;y lam upon the boy ol earn« mg h* «iailv bread is he eats it Then, loo frequently, circumstance usurps the nluce of decision. and what should be tn. re-ad ol careful ttiougut is ¡elt to mere Occident. Though one be of op timists the most extreme, it is impossible to dent ilia; the piau of life pursued by the majority of men does not lead to success. And since this plan, whether it be of design or the mischievous fatal istic drifting which is no plan, begins when the man is still a boy, it is in the boy that our hope for the future lies. How is he to be trained, and his skill and character developedP We are accustomed to believe that de mand and supply regulate themselves, but in thia very problem of the future of our boys, we are brought face to face with a curious incongruity. We see on the one hand the overcrowded profess ions, and hosts of clerks who are ready to apply for any vacant position, how ever low the salary, while on the other hand we see a market for labor which is so far from beiug glutted that its sup plies must he brought from foreign countries. But between these unequally balanced classes, little or no exchange is possible, for it is a characteristic of the latter class that its members must be able to use their bands and eyes, as well as the brain, and must have a manual dexterity sufficient to place them among the ranks of the great in dustrial army of producers What is wanted to-day in our own country is skilled labor. Education in its highest form is wanted, but it must be coupled with an ability to do some thing, if it is to gain for its possessor any position in life. It must find some mode of expression, or the world is none the richer. Americans are noted for their ingenuity, but in how few has a thorough technical education brought out its highest powers of expression! Here is a field which can be heartily re commended to any boy who has decided to take the reins of life in his own hands instead of leaving them to tiie caprice of circumstances. If he has a taste for the mechanic arts, he has a splendid opportunity for the exercise of his powers. The acquisition of manual dexterity is not difficult. It requires little beyond intelligent jieraevcranoa. But when this skill of hand is one«' ac quired, it brings an independence which many a man in apparently easier cir cumstances of life might well envy. Nor is it the humble calling which the drawing-room is apt to picture it. The possibilities open i<> the skilled worker are almost unlimited. Nome new and more excellent creation is always pos sible, and from the workshop the direct ors of large undertakings are commonly chosen. — 6ci. ulijic American.
