Do you know the newest New York method?
You will find a full explanation, with photo-reproductions of actual markings, in this book. The improved methods of "A 1" houses are worthy of your attention. It doesn't take many such "new points" to make a dollar's worth.
There is no use applying for a situation if you cannot do anything. Encourage and develop some one talent for the use of which the world offers a money value. The man who can do anything fairly well isn't drawing half the salary of the man who can do one thing better than other people. Do not be afraid of pounding persistently at one thing, even if people do call you a crank. If nothing turns up, turn something up. Don't quit a good position until you are sure of a better one. Remember that the very best positions are secured through promotion and not by answering advertisements. It may be worth your while to study carefully the pages devoted to this subject in The Every-Day Educator. You will find a model application (an answer to advertisement) on page 116 of this book.
