PAGE 31 THE CLASSES NO FABLE Once there was an Old Gent who had a promising Son. While the Father was proud of the Fact that he was a Self Made Man, he didn't want h. S . . is on to grow up without having had Advantages, so about the Time the Boy reached the Age when he was afraid Father's Money would grow tainted through too much Company, he was sent to an Institution of Learning to h . . ave his Intellect manicured. Here the Boys told him the course of Study was merely Incidental, that the Real Value of a college course lay in mixing w'th WI ' 1 i en and learning to know Human Nature. After four for more? Years, the Youth took his Degree, as he had been up to almost everything else, and started out in Real Life. H crowded, so he decided to take up a Mercantile Career. He was encouraged in this by the College President, who read a letter in Chapel telling how Large Corporations were glad to get Young Men whose Minds were trained and put them in Positions of Trust where they were bound to rise Shortly after graduation the Youth wrote to Father not to send him any more Money and started out to find a Position.

Yes, you look the Part, said the Mana- er lib . g , ut it may help Some later on when you get over It. We can use a Young Man who is willing to work The Pay will be about Six P . er, and in a Year or Two there may be an Advance if you make Good The Boy took the Air Line down the Elevator Shaft, and thought hard all the Way. When he lit he had begun to understand. He took the Dollar he hadl 'd ' ' ' ' an aside, with which to have his Mutton Pelt framed, spent it for a Meal Ticket, and got a Plain Job He is now living the Sim l L'f . p e 1 e be- cause it is the only kind quoted at Seven Per.
