It costs $408.80 to maintain a child for a year in a state institution. And, as the Thome has placed 4,000 children in private homes, thus freeing the state of the burden, ‘the society holds it is worth just $1,635,200 a year in actual cash to the state—not to into consideration at all criminals.

Pretty soon they welll Be quoting German marks by the ton. : i That had not seemed to occur to the man who asked the question. He seemed to be one of the kind who assumed that if any man at- tains to a success greater than his own, it is because he inherited wealth, or married the daughter of his employer, or had a pull with eome one higher up. That seems to me a bad habit. It is not good for a man to get to thinking that the success of other men is a sham. It ts a coward’s consolation for one’s own failures. It is better to assume that other men have won their success hon- estly, or that if they have not won it in that way they are not likely, to hold it, and then to resolve to) win success for one's self hanestly and not otherwise. This thing of attempting to ac count for men is delusive. We can- not account for any man. The most commonplace man has about him something unaccountable, But in a world where the field is open and competition keen, not many men are able to secure and hold posi- tions of eminence unless they de- serve them. When you see a man who has risen, rung by rung on the ladder of success, do not deceive yourself with the notion that he had a bal.) | loon. If he had, the gas would have escaped some time ago. The chances are that he got there by climbing. ‘ - 2 Frye iffife 8 2 tf i: oF aaa emai | Examination free, 2 pron tometrist.
