These signatures were received a few days ago from H. P. Behrensmeyer
of Quincy, Illinois. The line on these signatures is the best
we have seen from any penman for many a day. Mr. Behrensmeyer
probably never wrote finer signatures than the above.
20,000 SCHOLARSHIPS TO BE
GIVEN TO YOUNG MEN
ON FARMS
Henry Ford announces his active
cooperation in establishing the National
Farm Youth Foundation which
will provide scholarships for 20,000
young men between the ages of 18
and 25 from the nation's farms.
Henry Ford for years has been
able to lead in his business by employing
men who had special training.
He has constantly trained men
for his factory and to go out over
the country to service his products.
He is a firm believer in special training
for the occupation you are going
to follow.
To improve farm conditions he
realizes that people must study scientific
farming and receive practical
training in farming, therefore, his
efforts to create scholarships through
the Ferguson-Sherman Manufacturing
Corporation of Dearborn.
"Better farming methods today
will mean better farms tomorrow
and rural youth will be more inclined
to stay close to the soil."
In addition to the study courses
and training in the field, students
under these scholarships will compete
for 58 jobs, half of which carry
contracts for one year of work at
the factory or the sponsoring company
at the salary of $150 a month;
the remainder are jobs with the company's
distributors, at a salary of
$125 a month.
An additional 725 students will be
placed on an honor roll and places
will be found for them as quickly as
possible, with special attention paid
to opportunities in their own home
communities, where they will best be
able to advance the community as
well as their own position in it.
We are convinced that the more
training one has in his particular
occupation the greater are his
chances of success and feel confident
that the thousands of youths who
will benefit by the scholarships will
be a big asset to the country.
This beautiful free, primary writing was made by Raymond Bobcock, a student at St. Mary Wenceslaus School,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sister Simonetta, S.S.N.D., is principal and Sister M. Fiedelis is community supervisor.
We want to compliment this school upon its fine handwriting. We examined a large package of specimens all
of which were similar to this specimen.
