"HOW to WIN ERIE KIDS ond f& INFLUENCE PEOPLE"
DETERMINATION PAID HIM WELL
JOHN MEREDITH was orphaned early in life. His father
” died when he was two years old; his mother, when
he was eight.
At the age of ten he was slaving on a Canadian farm,
where he stayed five years. The farmer had agreed to
board him and send him to school, but five years passed
and John Meredith never even saw the inside
of a school. Discouraged in his hope of ac-
quiring an education he finally ran away, and
got a job washing dishes on a summer steam-
boat which plied between Montreal and
Toronto, then in a hotel.
There he was, at fifteen years of age,
washing dishes, no home, no money, no pros-
pects, no education. His future didn’t look
very bright, did it? Yet John Meredith be-
came the manager of one of the most famous summer re-
sort hotels in the world—the palatial Chateau Lake Louise
in the Canadian Rockies.
Did I say John Meredith had “no education’’?
Well, he lacked a formal education; he didn’t spend
four years in college; he has never been within
reaching d:stance of a high school diploma. But
nature had endowed him with something far more
important than all the facts about algebra and
Julius Caesar that you learn in high school, and
that was an undying determination to get ahead,
a veritable thirst for knowledge.
Meredith did attend classes at the YMCA five nights a
week, striving hard to make up for his lack of education.
He spent every spare hour in the daytime learning all he
could about every department in the hotel, helping the
accountant, the steward and others. Year after year, as
his knowledge and experience increased, he advanced
gradually. Finally, he became chief clerk of the Banff
Springs Hotel in the Canadian Rockies. Then suddenly;
his opportunity came to manage the Chateau Lake Louise. ‘
