Young America is proverbially last
Our young people are loo eager to elite'

you fail to remember that the condi
tions are changed. Schools were not so
general then, ami your parents were
probably as well equipped for the battle
ot life as were their neighbors Now the
facilities for gaining an education, vilh-

lege or university, are open to all.

vou begin business or a professional life,
it will be tinder a competition of whose
fierceness your parentshad no experience.
I his is no longer the age of the stage
coach and canal. Steam has annihilated
distance, and electricity has outrun time.
It is said that only one in five who ein-
bark in mercantile life finally succeed;
that halt who enter the legal profession
remain in it no longer than five years;
anti the same proportion in other pur
suits. One reason for these frequent
failures and changes is believed to be the
lack of suitable preparation. The laws
of trade have become so complex as to
demand the widest knowledge and clos
est attention for their mastery. The
arts and sciences have so enlarged their
boundaries that only a specialist with a
good general training can hope for suc
cess. The learned professions are so
crowded that only the most thorough
I preparation will enable one to reach a
commanding, or even an honorable, po.
sition.
Let nothing, then, but the direct neces
sity induce you to leave school. Run
errands, chop wood, milk cows, fish,
sell newspapers, do anything honorable
to continue your education. Let your
motto be, To him who wills, nothing is
impossible. XVe are proud of the young
men who have passed through our high
schools, normal schools, colleges, and
university, in the mean time supporting
themselves, and, in many instances, their
widowed mothers, brothers, and sisters,
by the labor of their hands. They are
the stuff of which great men are made.
They have left behind them the legacy of
their example to inspire you. If you
fear that your entrance into active life
will be to long delayed, remember that
it is far better to begin life late well pre-
rared than early and unprepared. Christ
was thirty years old before he entered
upon his public ministry, and he was a
perfect man. The world’s greatest deeds
have been done by men past middle life.
\\ hen old and blind,Milton composed his
immortalepic,Paradise Lost, and the un
approachable Illiad is supposed to be the
work of Homer, ‘ the blind old man of
Scio’s rocky isle.” Then make haste
slowly; do what your hands find to do
conscientiously ; improve your talents,
whether great or small, and you will
sooner or later reap a rich reward.
