Show W $ V LOOK AT THIS, BOYS. $ fa -ii- w Recently a New York reporter interviewed the business men in several blocks in that city. He found that seventy per cent, of them were born on farms or in small towns exclusive of those who were foreign born. That ought to make the average aver-age Delta boy sit up and take notice. It ought to spur him on to better work in the school room, for business conditions are not going to change very much in the years to come. The business busi-ness of this country will be in the hands of the men who were born and reared in small towns or on the farms, where they had opportunities the city-bred boy knows nothing of. There is a more encouraging atmosphere in those places than where there is push and scramble and people are so herded together that they haven't the time, and seldom the inclination to reach down and lend a boy a helping hand. Think it over boys think hard. And then ask yourself if it isn't going to be bes t for you to stay right here at home with your studies until you, too, have reached the point where you can become one of those seventy per cent, who are running business affairs in our big cities. |
