shaied in the talk nor has the talk abated 1 frequently receive letters mostly from younger men complaining bitterly about the un equal distribution of wealth here is an extract from one such letter ever since i was able to work i have worked hard before 1 got mar ried i saved all i could toward get ting married and since then my wife and 1 have always tried to live as economically as possible so that we might be able to do the right thing by our children we have three children two boys and a girl our oldest boy is just about ready j for college we think he should have a college education but al- though we have stinted and saved all our lives we have hardly enough to justify us sending him to college dont you think it is time something j was done to get rid of our existing order in which a few people have more wealth than they can handle and the majority have not enough to make life worth while well we are all willing to grant that there are laws in our social and economic order there always have been and it seems to me there always will be o human order is perfect but 1 think we must also admit that there is a very real at tempt being made today to improve things and it is true surely that things are not just as bad as they were many years ago on the whole the standard of living has been rais ed it is so easy to blame the exist- i ing order for so many things 1 am not capitalistically minded but i do feel that in a great many cases men could tlo a great deal more than they do to better their own positions i am not blind to the difficulties in the matter of getting employment i which have existed too long nor to the fact that there are glaring dis crepancies in our existing order but i know of many cases in which men with their wives and families are suffering needlessly if these men whom i am thinking of had only kept their eyes open to see opportun ity and had had the faith and cour- age lo go forth to seize opportunity i when it presented itself and makel full use of it they and their fami- 1 lies would not he in the position they are today granted that all classes of hard ship and suffering through poverty do not come within this category but it is nevertheless true that life is for us to a great exent just what we make it f agree that it is one of the outstanding sins of our own age that men especially young men have been kept without work until they are almost unemployable but it is a sin in which we have all had our part and to which we must all plead guilty to come directly to the case of my correspondent he is to be admired for having done his best no man can do any more i think however that the question which he has to first answer satisfactorily is is this boy a college curriculum if so it will enable him to make good in life if he can answer these ques tions in the affirmative then he should he willing to take the chance make the sacrifice ami let his hoy have thc benefit of a college career he will probably find that any sacri fice he makes will come hack to him greatly increased not perhaps in actual dollars and cents but in the satisfaction of seeing his boy equip ped to take his place in life and be come a helper of his fellow men xot the least part of our trouble today is that we arc materially mind ed we have a wrong view of wealth we think of wealth in trie form of a large bank account and while there are many things that a one problem of vital importance that confronts young people is to de termine the vocation or trade for which he or she is best suited the purpose of this column is to be
