We want you to look over this vast conglomeration of cities called Greater New York, the very heart of the nation, the radiating centre of wations) inspirations, both good and bed, the pinnacle of individual tepirations and, sadly, often the depth of their despair You have been tedching others these past nine months, Turn Jourcelves into students here and take some lessons out of the book of HUMAN LIFE that nowhere else has such illumined pages, euch wonderful pictures, such absorbing text We want you to carry back West and South with you something more from this convention than discussions of theories and systems Take beck something of the broader phases of existence with which Mew York is struggling in the superlative degree Take something to the millions of pupils who will derive their ideals and inspiration from you next autumn. As you teach them, eo they will view our country, our Metropolis, our national spirit. There is little of bad and wickedness in New York, Ninety-nine per cent. of our intentions are good, so good that many of them are ‘wnsttainable. Our millions ‘res acquire money in amounts that would make the Midas, sbout whom you teach in classics, a “piker” by comparison Bat how lavishly they spend it, not all wisely, but with unstinting generosity they pour out vast sums on every noble and tender-hearted couse. i Our city government is sometimes assailed as epitomizing the fellure of municipal democracy.

It is everywhere in New York. Ask in the great department stores. Even there you will find continuation schools for ‘employees. They have just held graduation exercises in Altman's, in Tard & Taylor's, in Stern Brothers’ and in many other big estab- lishmente. New York opens its gates to the 60,000 devoted teachers gladly so that they may see us and know us, and then take home to tho citics, _ the towns, the colleges and the little red brick school houses some- thing to tell about us; something that will bring Fifth Avenue and Wall Street and Broadway « little nearor and more clearly to the vision of Young America, Then they may know that we are just like them—no different, Re wiser, no better, but just a part and parce! of this great, big America under the stars and stripes, where we must all live together and work together with one spirit for common good.

It seems to be adding up faster and higher than the “wncome side, Everything we buy is costing more, Everybody is raising prices on us. Rents are up. Food is higher. Goods of all kinds are more costly, Taxes have increased with prospects of more to come, Ex- penditures in every line of national life, governmental, private busi ness, hame, travel, luxuries and necossitios alike, all are on the rise, ‘The pressure for still greater increases is being felt on overy side. As endless chain of boosting is running through the country, * To tho business man is sent notice: “Owing to increased cost of materials we are obliged to increase the price of our product.” ‘we —_——- a rurg Continent ey k for} tion, | 4g World presents New York City, the Metropolis, pportumity for learning | ning World Hidin ' j } | ie eet Dollars and Sense.
