I The address 10 the graduates was
made by the Hon. Nathan Schaeffer,
OF Philadelphia, on the subject, "Does
Education Pay?' He began by say
ing that his favorite line of argument
from experience, was that money in.
vested in securing an education was
the best investment that could be
made.
He gave some statistics which
showed that $40, 900, 900 is saved in
England yearly by putting brains
behind the hands of thej industrial
classes through the agency of addi-
tional schools.
From statistics gathered by the
commissioner Of education in Wash
ington, Professor Schaeffer showed
that in the state Of Massachusetts
there is an excess of 80 cents In wage
earnings over other states, owing to
the fact that schools are kept at
high standard and that pupils are
compelled to spend more time in
school. In conclusion, he urged the
students to strive for an, education,
not SO much for the advance in their
earnings as for higher life which
education brings.
