Work will be found the strongest check upon the moral weeds to which our youth so rapidly run. Let the idea cease to find room among parents j that a mechanic is a drudge, and that a clerkship is more respectable. A 1 good mechanic earns better aver- age wages than the majority of clerks and salesmen, and he is ' seldom out of work long, while, 1 if a clerk loses his position, he must generally wait long for another, j and may have to depend up.m re a-tions a-tions or friends in the mean time. ) There arc dozens of unemployed salesmen sales-men and clerks in San Francisco every day iD the year who would be glad to j work for their board, where one unemployed un-employed tradesman can be found. I The former have often to submit to the most humiliating means of temporarily tempor-arily earning a livelihood, from which shifts the good mechanic is free. The manufacturing interests of this great ' coast, flourishing as they seem, are yet hardly in their infancy, and the opportunities op-portunities for advancement and inde-I inde-I peudence they offer open one of the most honorable and desirable fields for those who learn trades. Aiue times out of ten, the skillful intelligent mechanic me-chanic will rise lii-ter and be more certain cer-tain of a competence than the man , who has neither trade nor profession, and depends upon the chances of a supernuuiary clerkship.
