6–46363.
Advice and incentive are happily united for the enterprising boy. The keynote of the book is sounded in the following:
Ask no favors of “luck,”—win your way like a man;
Be active and earnest and plucky;
Then your work will come out just about as you plan
And the world will exclaim, “Oh how lucky.”
