JUDGE Norman Anthony. Give the Future a Chance! Crs seemenr is a season lavish with two-quart words. Baccalaureate. Valedictory. Disquisi- tion. Magna cum laude. Fellowship of edu- cated men, And all the time, as the orators yammer and the bands play and the lanterns gleam and the gowns flutter, there trickles round and round in the head of the graduate one little half-pint word. job; where shall he find a job? What to do next week or this summer m: Job; y or may not be a pressing matter of food and shelter. What to do for the long future, for the rest of his life, seems to many a new-fledged alumnus a tremendous, a world-shaking consideration. For years people have talked to him about this day when he would “go out into the world”; and most of them have urged him to decide what he was going to make of himself, start early, train for and stick to it. And if he is one of the fifty per cent or more who come to Commence- ment without any clear notion or prospect of a carcer, he is likely to rate himself a premature failure. AL of which, we beg to state, is The Bunk. Our mature observation is as follows: (a) most middle-aged men who are still trying to finish what they started when they left school are dreary, dis- contented and hard up; (b) most really successful men have been fired or resigned half a dozen times, nd now in jobs quite different from dreamed of in their youth.

Give the Future are those chance!
