Vitamines, of which you knew rothinf a few years

Calories, in brief, are shelved, set back, discarded,
fifed, shot into the waste basket, eclipsed! In their
stead you find vitamines—tiic life, health and efficiency-
makers, minus all complex figures of mathematics.

O.N liOISG TO Mt.lir 81'HOOL
The first job I ever had was as a
night school teacher It «asn't t
public school; in fact, it wasn't
much of a school of any kind; but
there were two or three hundred
girls and boys and men and women
of about twenty different nationali-
ties (it was in a big eastern city)
who came three times a week to
le&rn English and arithmetic and
different trades.
One of the regular teacheut was
ill. and ao her class of about forty
foreigners had imposed upon it a
very much frightened girl of firteen.
who tried as hard as she could fo
keep her voice from trembling whilt
she asked white-whiskered Justino
Pollinrtni and aggressive young
Baer Nemerofsky to read aloud from
the blackboard.
At the time my chief emotion was
that of terror; but in after years I
have often been awe-struck by the
memory of the perseverance and the
dogged tenacity ot those pupils of
mine, who came after lone hours of
exhausting toil, many of them far
beyond the years when brains are
supposed to be capable of assiniilat
ing new information, to struggle
with the unphonetic details of an ut-
terly unfamiliar language.
In later years I put myself
through most of my college course
via the night school route, and
learned for myself the pleasure 11
don't mean it sarcastically) of dig
ging into my books after a Ions,
hard day at the typewriter. There
were two years of my life when ab-
solutely my only leisure time yaa
one Saturday evening a month! S>
I feel that I am qualified to speak
on the advantages of a night school
education.
It takes longer; but you get really
better teaching, for the instructor
has no one to take up his time who
is there simply for the looks of th<
thing nor for lack of something bet-
ter to do. Night school students are
real students, who want to karn and
who have the strength of will and
usually the maturity to go over
twice the ground that would com-
pletely wear out all but a few day
students.
The only warning one need give to
the night school pupil is not to work
a willing horse to death. As one of
my teachers once put to me. "I don't
mind your burning the candle at
both ends, but I really must protect
when you put a match to the mid-
dle." If it will be of any value -
some over-ambitious girl, I may ad-4
that the day came only too qulck!>
when I wiahed I had heeded the nd
vice!
Night schools as a means to «
eral culture are all very well a
desirable; but the primary and ti
greatest function of the night scho
is to prepare you for a more skil?«
occupation. Heaven forfend that
ahuuld Iced any of you girla the
motto-card bosh about "The faithful
employe is the one who gets pro-
moted. or "Don't watch the clock
and the boss will watch you."
Under our present system we sell
our services to the highest bidder,
and the only way we can get more
for them Is to make them worth
more to the frankly self-interested
employer That {teing so, every bP
of added skill or ability makes you
a more desirable and expensive ar-
ticle on the market; and the night
schools are there (largely, let us not
forget, by reason of labor union sen-
timent and agitation) to help you
improve in your trade or to train
you to a better one.
And some day. when for this mad
race of competition we have at last
substituted the co-oper&tlon of a
world of workers, it will be the best
educated (meaning the best trained
to the limit of their natural intelli-
gence) who will be the most valu-
able members of the new com-
munity.
If for no other reason than you
will be going into training for use
ful service in a better society, miss
no opportunity to acquire informa-
tion and proficiency in the nearest
night school. And if there is none
