Homework: Dear parents/ guardians, please assist your
child with today’s homework.
Option 3: Collections: HOW I SERVED MY APPRENTICESHIP 1900
Emigration to America
… Why did I become a business man? ….The eldest son of
parents who were themselves poor, I had, fortunately, to begin to perform some
useful work in the world while still very young in order to earn an honest
livelihood, and was … shown even in early boyhood that my duty was to assist my
parents and, like them, become, as soon as possible, a breadwinner in the
family. What I could get to do, not what I desired, was the question. When I
was born my father was a well-to-do master weaver in … Scotland. …This was
before the days of steam-factories for the manufacture of linen.
As the factory system developed … my father was one of
the sufferers by the change. The first serious lesson of my life came to me one
day when he had taken in the last of his work to the merchant, and returned to
our little home greatly distressed because there was no more work for him to
do. I was then just about ten years of age, but the lesson burned into my
heart, and I resolved then that the wolf of poverty should be driven from our
door some day, if I could do it.
