TNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE- AWAEES, We have now entered the beautiful jmonth of June. the month of roses, the month of many other kinds of flowers, the month of weddings and the month When schoel closes for the long vaca- tlon. June is therefore most weicome and it is not surprising that the chil- dren at least consider it the best month o! the year. But with the ending of the school year there is more to be considered than Just the fun to be had during tho next two months. For a great many it is to be followed by the entrance into higher grades for the pursuit of new studles, for some it means the entrance int: high school and vet for quite a number it means the closing month of thelr schonl lite. While many regard school as a bit burdcnsome as they long to gt into business life there is none who cun af- ford to disregard the rare henelits t> he gained from just as much schooling as they are able to get. Going from schoot with its short and happy hours, five days 5 week, to work every day in the ‘week is a change too often eagerly ‘con- templated only to awaken when it is too late to the neglected opportunities —of #chool and the long drill ahead for the worker, Passing from school days to work days isn't alwaye the delighttul change that it seems to be. ‘When the time comes, howeyer, tasre is nothing like being as well prepared as Dossible to meet it.
