A Youth Learns To Read In A New Apprenticeship
The piece follows a sixteen year old who leaves home for an apprenticed trade in a rough district. Facing stigma, he chooses self-improvement, rising at 2 to 4 AM to read by candlelight, borrows books and newspapers, and eventually earns respect and writes several books. It ends urging readers to adopt Tom's morning discipline for happiness and growth.
