The trouble with the average voung college graduate is that he had rather get a "salary" of $7 any mean week than to earn $20 a week in wages.

It may reflect the fact that the American temperament is more subject to the various atmospheres of life and to the environs of vocation than other or it may Jbe taken to uiau me American is more serious in thought and less frivolous and careless over the real essential. It is a fact that worry seems to prevail in this country and among the Amer ican people with greater proportion than with any other. It shows itself in broken spirits in wrecked health m self-destructions that are far too frequent. Physical manhood goes down under the torture of the disease and character does not with stand its visitations.
