A Young Man's Chances

A mother wlio .now sends out a son into .the business world launehes hitn at a time when the chances are all in favor of a young man, write.s Kdward W. Bok in "At Home Wlth 'the .Editor," in the Oetober Ladies' Home Journal. Business men were never more wïlling to place large trusts uj)on the shoulders of young men than they are to-day. "Younig lilood," as it is called, la the life of the modern business world, and is everywliere souglit. In New Yark the demand for the right kind of young men in all capacities is far greater than the supply, and what is true O5 New York, is true of all the large cities. iBear in mind, however, I aay the right kind of young m'en, and .by fhat classlfieation I mean j-oung .men who are willing to work, and ■work liard. The day of the young maai who works by the clock, eagerly .watcliitnig for the hour winen tlie office shaill close, has gone by, 'ewn 1Í it ever existed. Hundreds öf youaig men are enengetic in a new o-itiou until ilts nolty wears off and tlKii ibeóome mere machines wihiosie places can be filled at a day's niotiee. No. mother need havo undue anxiety Íot the suieeisa of a son who this autumn or winter Ktep.s out into the business world, so long as he bears in mind a few eesential points. He must be lwnest above all tliings, nd allow nothing to ronyiiK-e him .that tliere is a conjiromise between hom sty and dishonesty. He muet .be an out and out believer in the homely and forcible saying tliat a man cannot drink whisky and be in .biwmess. He must, too, decid-e between beinga 5-oiaty man or a businessman; hle cannot be both. He must niaka hi,s li'fe outside the office the same as in it, and not be possessed with the prevalent idea that his employer has no business to question his movememts outside of office hoiirs. An employer has every right to expect hts employés to be respectable at all times, in the office or out of it.
