The (Observer hoard not long ago (
)f the case of a young man, living
n a small bio growing tow??, who
ipplicd te a prominent business d
nan of another city for work. In- ci
juiring about the applicant, the C
easiness man was told that he was at
he tv|<e of youth who was content w
:o work at about $44) per month tl
>alarv, or l^ss, perhaps, always m
inxious to get away from his work ui
it the earliest possible moment in w
irder to spend his evenings with ;
foung ladi's, being something of di
i social high flyer. In the country s|
own where this veung man lived h
here was not a competent carpen- fi
or, brick-mason or mechanic and o:
when one was needed he had to tl
i)e imported and paid at least ir
62.50 a pay for his services. But 01
the young man would have con- st
udered learning a trade like any b
t)f these as beneath his dignity
md position, so he kept on at
what he was already doing?clerk-'
ing in the ceuntry store.?Char- w
lotte Observer. '
The Enquirer has also heard of ^
this young man?maybe not of
this particular one: but of his y
type The type is common every- ti
where, not only in Charlotte; but P
throughout the country* It is sel u
s
don\ that we hear of his amount- ^
Ing to much either in a business
i>r industral way. It is because he
mortgages the independence that
would be his in the future for the n
deceptive pleasures that seem to f1
stand out before him in the pre- 11
u
sent. The responsibility, how ^
ever, is not upon him alone. It is D
upon society generally, There I
should be a higher premium upon f
industrial merit and moral worth, ^
r
and a more general contempt for
butterfly idleness. We need to ]
give more attention to the charac- I
tcr of the man and less attention 1
to ths character of his occupation. c
