The great financier, gives tha follow'
. Ing good advice to boys, which
parents might also read with profit t
“ Boys, go to school as long as you
can, and remember every hour spent In
study in youryouth will be worth money
, to you in after life. Read good books;
make yourself acquainted with history;
study the progress of nations and th,
careers of men who have made
nations great.
“ Study religion, science, statecraft
and history. Learn to read
intelligently, so that you can turn to
practical use in after life the reading
-of your youth. Be sure you begin
right. Do not waste time in reading
trashy books.”
Mr. Sage further says:
“ The boy who is wanted In the
business world of today must be
educated. If his parents cannot afford to
give him a college or a high school
eduucation he must learn to study
without the aid of a teacher, In the early
mornings before business begins, and
ln tlie evenings after business hours.
It can no longer be truthfully said that
an education is out of any one’s
reach.”
This is the advice of a man who Is
one of the most conspicuous business
- successes of our time, and v|lio has
amassed one of the largest fortunes In
America. It cannot possibly be
charged that he is In the pay of THE
ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, and yet
these words given as the conviction of a
life of unusual observation and
experience advises as strongly as words
can that you hasten to accept the offer
of The Constitution, and secure this
greatest of popular educators, The
Encydopaklla Brltannlca.
. The edition offered by The
Constitution fills every requirement ol
