YOU'RE NOT A GENIUS? DON'T JAIL—HAVEN'T A CHANCE? TAKE ONE. BY CYNTHIA GREY. One morning last week a young man in his early '20s came my office to see if I could help him find work. He was not an ordinary type. He was clean-cut, nice look- neat of appearance, and spoke fairly well; but he was not ed in the sort of work you would naturally think to him in. | After several minutes’ conversation, l remarked as to this, he answered in substance: “Miss Grey, I’ve never had chance to make anything of myself. My father died two months after I entered high school, and I had to it school and support my mother and younger sister.
