Experience Teaches.

A young man who was ambitious tt get an education, but lacked the money to pay his expenses in college, consulted the late Judge as to what course he would better adopt. The judge had once been in the same predicament and had undergone many hardships while fitting himself for the eminent position ho occupied, consequently he was speaking from experience when replying to his young friend’s inquiries. “Would you advise me to go into debt to get an education?” the young man asked. •‘Well, that depends on the line ol conduct you are disposed to pursue. Would you honestly pay back every cent of money you borrowed to pay for youi education?” “Certainly. I would do that even if I had to work as a hod carrier to earn the money.” “Then I would advise you to borrow.” “What course would you recommend me to take in college?” “Oh, that’s a matter of indifference.” “I beg your pardon.” . “It really doesn’t matter what cource you take in college. If you go into debt to get an education you will get the chief part of it while struggling to get out of debt again.”—N. Y. Herald.
