Show Chances lor Agricultural College Boys. Young men are often perplexed and sometimes some-times wo'rrled to decide where a good field can be found for them to begin their life work In when their school days shall have been finished. If there are any such in the Agricultural college of Utah, our recommendation to them would be to begin at once the study of tho Spanish language. lan-guage. If they can acquire such a knowledge of it as will enable them to speak and write it, when they have fitted themselves as scientific farmers, they can take that knowledge and go to any state of Mexico or South America and in a very few years make of themselves a start toward a for- . tune and be well along on the road to fame. They can get themselves looked upon in any of those countries very much as Luther Burbank is looked upon in these western states of our Republic. And going with proper credentials as to fitness and character they can be sure to command a generous gen-erous salary from the first day. With a little management man-agement they can secure a large tract of land with time given them for payment, and their salary sal-ary will enable them to employ the low-priced labor of those countries to improve their land, set out orchards and set the lands to producing what after a little will bring them an income. If they keep up their studies and their work it will not be long until they will draw to them a wonderful respect and every day obstacles will break down before them and their spheres of influence in-fluence will broaden, their counsel will be sought for and paid for. Such an equipment as they will possess, if they are but true to themselves, when they graduate, will be worth more In a money sense to them than would be a large capital. cap-ital. There is the beginning of a groat awakening awaken-ing in the South Land, and the first advance there must be through a better cultivation of the soil; better homes for the very common people; better bet-ter schools for the children; the awakening of that kind of honest pride which will carry with it increased self respect and with that a better love for native land and a greater desire to per form the duties of citizenship. What one earnest I man can do In such a place when prompted by I high motives cannot be estimated. Boys it is your opportunity and if you try you will not fail. I |
