Many young men represent laundries from near-by cities and earn their way in that manner. Others make it a side line.
A good side line which will net many dollars during the school year is making up posters or post cards.
PLAN No. 593. Y. M. C. A.—Y. W. C. A. PUT THEM THROUGH UNIVERSITY
I knew a young fellow who worked at the Y. M. C. A. at the university. He was taking law. For his work in the association he was furnished with a good room and board and his work there did not conflict with his classes. He was an able assistant to the secretary and proved a very valuable man.
This work qualified him to become a first-class secretary, after he completed his course, which work enabled him to make a saving before going into the practice and also made a host of friends, which is essential to any man who would achieve success in the practice of the law.
The Y. W. C. A. is represented in every large university, and there is work for a few women who may in exchange for their services receive room and board.
The above plans are a great advantage, as they not only qualify one to earn an education but also prepare for a profession after their college course is finished.
PLAN No. 594. WENT THROUGH UNIVERSITY BY APPOINTING AGENTS
Before his arrival John had married and was the head of a nice family of three. He possessed a bright mind but had his own way to earn as well as that of his family. This to most people is a barrier, but to John it was not, and here is the way he did it:
Previous to entering the university he had sold books for a Chicago book company. He requested the company to finance him for one year by advancing $100 a month, for which he would secure and train agents during this period. The offer was accepted and John went to work.
