PRACTICAL VALUE OF COLLEGE
EDUCATION

Some "old saws seem to have
wonderful vitality. They never
wear out, rust out or die out, 1t is
true that many of them become
so dull as to be practically harm
less, but still they are in the way.
And of all the useless old saws"
we ever sac, we never sac such a
deceptive old 'saw" as this saw:
"College education is Of no good in
getting on in life" These old
sawye1s, too, seem to obtrude their
rusty theories until, as a last e
sort, it becomes necessary to
knock them down a few times
with facts. Here are facts enough
to knock every tooth out of this
old educational saw. From the
most reliable statistics the DEMO
CRAT-STAR a obtain, one halt Of
one per cent. of the young men Of
our land attend college, while nine
ty nine and one half per cent. do not
take a college degree. Yet this
of one percent. who take
college courses secure fifty eight
per cent,of the most important of
in our government, while the
great remainder are compelled to
rest satisfied with only forty-tcO
per cent. of the aforesaid offices.
for instance, the following
statistics :
