Advice to Young Men. No, son, your diploma will not get you a job. If this was true colleges and universities would cover the land like a morning mist instead of secluding themselves in some country townVyour preliminary examination for entrance into the world’s work will be given you as soon as you apply for a job. If you pass this successfully you will be given an apprentice's place. Its up to you to make good. There is only one tiling the boss wants and that is, results. Get these for him and you’ve a job. Keep getting them and your job is steady. Get better results for him than the other fellow and you will put him in debt to you. Get more results than he can get without you and he will make you a partner in the business for he can’t do without you for you have added something to the business that means capital. When you hav© accomplished this get out this diploma, have it framed and when the boss comes down to take dinner with you show it to him and tell him there is ■where you got the idea of wanting to do something and be somebody in *he world. Until this time arrives; son, slip the sheepskin into the bureau drawer along with your college yell for the only kind of noise that the world appreciates is that of industry. It’s your business just now to help start the wheels and listen. Results speak louder than words. —Exchange.
