ONE MAN'S PRAYER

Homer McKee once wrote a prayer,
in which he said:

TEACH me that sixty minutes make one hour, sixteen ounces one pound and one hundred cents one dollar.

HELP

ELP me to live so that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience, without a gun under my pillow and unhaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain.

GRANT, I beseech Thee, that I may earn my meal ticket on the square and in the doing thereof that I may not stick the gaff where it does not belong.

DEAFEN me to the jingle of tainted money and

the rustle of unholy skirts.

BLIND me to the faults of the other fellow,

but reveal to me my own.

GUIDE

me so that each night when I look across the dinner table at my wife, who has been a blessing to me, I will have nothing to conceal.

KEEP

EEP me young enough to laugh with my children and lose myself in their play.

AND then, when comes the smell of flowers and the tread of soft steps, and the crushing of a hearse's wheels in the gravel out in front of my place, make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple.

Earning While Learning at Dunwoody

R. T. CRAIGO, Day School Principal.

Napoleon said: "Armies march on their stomachs;" this may be expressed with greater elegance by the statement: "Man's first thoughts are of food, clothes, and shelter."

Dunwoody students must meet Mr. “H. C. L." on these items and this article sets forth how many students "earn while they learn" and how we co-operate with them. Altho we maintain a regular employ ment and placement department which looks after Dunwoody graduates, the problem of the student working during school hours or immediately preceding or fol lowing school hours is handled directly by the Day School principal thru assistants, as it is closely related to school records, discipline, and attendance.

At the present time in the Day School there are 750 students. Of these about 200 are Rehabilitation students who are receiving training at Government expense; there are also about 150 special students who are here for the shorter trade extension courses. This leaves approximately 400 students who are here for longer courses.

Of the 400 students who are here for longer courses, 130 or 32.5% are employed as follows: 65 in jobs away from the building and about 65 before and after school and at noon at the building. These latter who are on the Dunwoody weekly

pay roll earn a total of about $165.00 per week as discussed below.

Dunwoody Cafeteria, which serves three meals a day, six days a week, now employs fifteen boys who serve food, collect dishes, wash and wipe dishes, tend cash register, and at service counters. Some boys help with breakfast and some at supper, but the large number are employed at the noon meal. These boys work from one hour to fifteen hours a week and earn from $.25 to $6.25 per week, including meals.

The Club Room, which operates noons and evenings, employs seven boys from two hours to twenty-eight hours a week and these boys earn from $.50 to $8.25 per week.

The Automobile and Machine Shop tool room employs six boys who earn from $1.25 to $4.50 per week.

The Printing Department offers boys an excellent opportunity to earn money after school hours, and about eight boys earn $.50 to $1.50 per week.

To look after the various machine repairs, belting, shafting, lockers, chairs, work benches, stores department, building repairs, and maintenance, from two to five boys are given employment. These boys earn from $1.00 to $4.00 a week, and in occasional weeks as high as $10.00.

A special effort is made to give boys
