WHAT WILL YOUR SON DO NOW?

THERE was a time when a boy could step from high school graduation into a job. T h e boy who does it today is fortunate indeed. T h e inability to d o it is not always a re- flection on his ambition o r his ability. I n many cases the job is not there.

T h e economic horizon is brightening - there's no doubt about that-but there a re millions of trained men, with families de- pendent upon them, waiting to f i l l jobs as they materialize. All the organized forces of society and government a r e working to solve the unemployment problem.

Your greatest responsibility to that boy is TODAY! He needs your advice and your guidance more than ever before.

W h y not, then, encourage him to devote a systematic portion of his spare time to the study of something which will engage hi3 thoughts and-more important-give him training which will be of inestimable bene- fit to him in the years ahead? T h i s study can give him a new vision of life, inspire him to greater achievements. Apprentice- ship is still necessary, but employers prefer young men whose attitude and preliminary training qualify them to adapt themselves readily to the employer's needs.

T h e International Correspondence Schools, the largest and oldest institution of its kind in the world, have been providing ambitious men with the training they needed for over forty years. T h e boy just out of high school is ideally prepared for study of any of our 300 courses.
