[Recently uttered by Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel cor- poration.] Brains are wanted, not money. The man with exceptional ability is the man for whom everybody is seek- ing. I think it is possible that so great a combination might be formed that no man could be found with the adminis- trative ability, the brains to manage it. But that will not happen for many years. The great captains of industry are not looking for money. There is plenty of that, What they want is brains— \ specialized brains; brains that are apable of taking hold and carrying ut the plans for which they furnish capital. ; reat. industrial nAamhnatisns like the United States Steel corporation doubtless decrease the chances of the iron and steel maker with a limited amount of capital te ms ke his way, but they give to the men with brains the greatest opportunity this world has ever known. seme Maytown’s Treat.

To be able to give happiness, and new and higher life aims to a child in distressing need of both is not without its reward,even in thie life. ; Two things we wish to impress in the minds of our readers. One is that the children are respectable but poor parentage. They do not come from the slums They are not from the well-to-do classes, but from that class that earnestly endeavor to make an honorable living. The other is, that the children come clean, and free from contagious diseases, The latter is an important consideration, but we assure our readers that every one sent out is subjected te a thorough and rigid medical examination before be< ing allowed to *‘go to the conntry.” onl Ginn get sick while here, medi- to make the t joyment to the one who, in the Li it.
