Naturally many of them now sea that
their former employment will not give
them tbe opportunities for advance

and for that reason they want a
change. They want a kind of employ*
meat which offers opportunities for
promotion. Many such men are fitted
for forms of employment which offer
this advantage, and they must be given
the opportunity to try to make good In

these men the opportunities for which

difficult to deal. They must be rea
