Attend School
The schools and colleges will open for the fall term within
a few weeks and thousands of parents are interested. Probably some of them are
considering whether it might not be just as well to permit a boy who holds a
vacation job to continue at work. The cost of living is high and maybe the boy
likes work better than he does school. That does not seem to be unnatural.
A young man who had finished the seventh grade applied for a
position in a near-by town the other day. He happened to be a good boy and
could have made the plant a valuable boy. There was no opening for him because
he did not have enough education.
The employer who told the Record about this urged the
necessity of boys attending school be stressed. The Record gladly does this.
From a financial standpoint, it pays to go to school. A boy with a good head
who completes high school or college, providing he has character, is bound to
be a success.
And yet we fancy that there is more pure enjoyment in a sort
of understanding of things in life than there is in the possession of great
wealth.
One can never learn too much, and the boy or girl who
overlooks this opportunity to attend school this fall will toss away golden
hours.
