This is, of course, mainly a parent’s problem and is best solved
by resorting to the following formula: Let A and B represent two
young girls’ finishing schools in the East. Mrs. Raleigh-Jones
(X), from the West, sends her daughter to A; Mrs. Borax (Y), from
the same city, sends her daughter to B. Upon consulting the local
social register, it is found that Mr. Raleigh-Jones is a member
of the Union, Colonial, Town and Country, and Valley Hunt Clubs;
upon consulting the telephone directory it is found that the
Boraxes live at 1217 S. Main Street, and that Mr. Borax is an
undertaker. Shall Mrs. F. B. Gerald (Z) send her daughter Annette
to A or to B, and why?
Answer: A, because life is real, life is earnest, and the grave
is not its goal.
