aptitadc lo whom a regular apprenticeship was scarcely necessary in baniiug and finance is an oftrepeated story that onr stanfords rockefellers goulds sages fields dillons seligraans wilsons and

graduate they have entered for he race invariably in tbeir teens- in the most valuable of all he years for learning any thing from fourteen o twenty while the college student has been learning a little about the barbarous and petty squabbles of a fardistant past or trying fo mastery languages which are dead such knowledge as seems adapted for life upon another planet than his as far as business affairs are concerned he future captain of in dustry is body engaged in he school of ex perience obtaining the very knowledge re quired for his future i riumphs i do not speak of the effect of college education upon yoon men training for he learned profes sions but the almost total absence of the graduate from high position in the business world seems o justify lis conclusion hat college education s it exists is fatal 0 suc cess in that domain the graduate has not he slightest chadce entering at twenty against he boy who swept the office or who begins as shipping clerk at fourteen hope toe euccittox vet there is however thanks to technical training some hopej it would seem for edacationjyet the trained mechanic- of tbe past who has as we have seen hitherto carried off most of the honors in oar industrial works is now lo meet a rival in he scientifically educated youth who will push him hard very hard indeed three of he largest steel manufacturing opucerus in tho world are already under he management of three young- educated raeri students of fhcsb schools who left theory at school or prac tice in the works while yet in their teens walker illinois steel company chicago schwab edgar thomson works patter homestead steel woks pittsburg are types of the new product not one of hem yet thirty most of the chiefs of depart roens under hem are of he same class- such yoang educaed men have one impbfl- anf ad vantage over theapprenticed mechanic they are open minded and without pre judice the scientific atiude of mind that of the searcher after truth renders them receptive of new ideas let no one therefore underrate fcha advanf age of edu cation only it must be education adapted priuce in disguise who surely cornea into hi 1 heritage they are tho winning

successfully against he energy and udoraf table will which spring from all conquering poverty no ixhju oikv to amuty it is quite a raiitakfltosupposecontinues mr carnegie bat tho door is any less open now than it used 0 bo to talent it is ino doubt infinitely more difficult to start a new business of any kind today ban it was but it is only a difference in form not in substance it is infinitely easier for a young practical man of ability io obtain an interest in existing firmiaall i lias ever been the doors have not closed upon ability on ho contrary they swing easier upon their hinges capital is not requisite family influence as before lasses for nothing real ability tho capa city for doing things never was so eagerly searched for as now and never commanded such rewards rximceiwkii v cxjihiiutiuvs for one thing mr carnegie believes that the future tendency in the industrial world will inevitably be in the direction of part nerships as against corporations in he industrial world he days of cor porations seem likely 0 come o an end i has been necessary for me 0 watch close ly most of my life the operations of great establishments owned byhundrojsofabsent capitalists and conducted by salaried officers contrasted with these i believe that the partnership conducted by men vitally interested and owning the works will make satisfactory dividends when the corporation is cnbarrassal and scarcely kiows upon which side the balance is to be at the end of a years operations the- great drygoods houses hat interest their most capable rum in the profits of each de- partrneiit succooj when those faltlhat en deavor la work with salaried men only in even branch of business this law is at work and couccrns are prosperous general ly speaking just in proportion a they suc ceed in interesting in the profits a larger and larger proportion of their ablest work ers instances constantly occur where the corporation unwilling o interest a promi- ntit practical man loses his services- and ses an interest given him by some cble individual manufacturer or commercial firm wbo arc constantly on tiie lookout for that indispcnealic article ability not put all your eggs in ono basket does not apply o mans lifework put all your eggs in one basket and then watch bat basket ia the true doctrine the most valuable rule of all hfom caienzole to hlukedfujlk finally mr carnegie buttresses this chapter of his gospel with tho authority of shakespeare while business of all kinds has gone and is still going rapidly into a few vast con- i oerns it is nevertheless demonstrated every day that genuine ability interested in tbe profits is not only finable but in dispensable to their successful operation through corporations whose shares are sold i daily upon the market through partner ships that find it necessary to interest their ablest workers through merchants wba con manage tbeir vast enterprises success fully only by laterestirigcxcoptional ability in every quarter of he business world avenues greater in number wider in extent easier of access than ever before existed stand open to the sober faugal energetic and able mechanic to the office boy and to tbe clerk- avenues through which theycan reap greater successes than were ever be fore within the reach of these classes in the history of the world- when therefore the young man ia any position or in any busi ness explains and complains that he has not opportunity o prove his ability and to rise 0 partnership he old answer suffices j pbice three jjektsj an original parrot tbe fault doarcrntni ft not la oar

cessfully with individual manufacturers who have already discovered one of the valuable secrets of unusual success viz to share heir profits with hose who are most instrumental in producing them the day of the absent capitalist stockholder who takes no interest in the operation of the works beyond the receipt of hhvdiridend is certainly passing away the enormous concern of the f clore is to divide it profits not among hundreds of idle capitalists wbo contribute nothing to us success but among hundreds of its ablest employees upon whose abilities andexertions success greaj- jy depends the capitalist absent stock holder is to be replaced by he able and present worker the ntttx or sixriiivernsorent proceeding ic discass the qualities neces sary for such success as he has been de scribing mr carnegie dwells first on a virtue in which the present age is certainly not deficient the virtue of selfadvertise ment the condition precedent for promotion is that the man must first attract notice- he mustdo something unusual and especially must this be beyond the strict boundary of his own duties he mast suggest or save or perform some service for his employer which he could not be censured for not having done selfinterest compels the immediate superior fo give the highest place under him to tbe man who can best fill it for the officer iscredifed with lie work of his department as a whole the man who has made an improvement should always have an eye upon obtaining an in terest in the ucsincss rather hau an in crease of salary even if the business up to his time has not been very- prosperous if be has he proper stuff in him be be lieves hat he coald make it so and so he could the ttteek rkpinicyihu fixn from virtue mr carnegie passes to rice there are three unpardonable sins in his gospel drinking speculation and lend ing there are three great rocks ahead of the practical young man who has his foot upon he ladder and is beginning to rise there is no use in wasting time upon any young man who drinks liquor no matter how ex ceptional his talents the rule should be never enter a barroom and never drink liquor except at meals the second rock ahead is speculation tbj business of speculator and hat of a manufacurer or man of affairs ore not only distinct hut incompatibly i have never known a spec- ulatfve manufacturer or business man who scored a permanent business the third rock is akin to speculation endorsing business men require irregular supplies of money ut borne periods little at j others enormous sums others being in ik same condition there is a strong temptation to endorse mutually this rock should be avoided there are emergencies no doubt on which men should help their friends but there is a rule ha will keep one safe no man should place his name upon tbe obli gation of another ii be has not sufficient to pay it without detriment to his own busi ness it is a safe rule to give the cash direct that yoa have to spare for others and never
