Struggles and Triumphs, Additional Excerpt 518 · P. T. Barnum

LEARN SOMETHING USEFUL.--Every man should make his son or daughter learn some trade or profession, so that in these days of changing fortunes--of being rich to-day and poor to-morrow,--they may have something tangible to fall back upon. This provision might save many persons from misery, who by some unexpected turn of fortune have lost all their means.
