Boys who get tired of going to
school should read the following.
written by Superintendent Adams,
of Fayette college The average
educated man gets 81. 900 per year.
He works forty years, making total
of $40, 600 in life time. Tne aver
age day laborer gets 81. 80 per day,
300 in year, or $3.50 in year. In
forty years he earns S1S, 900. The
difference, or s22, 600, equals the ed
ucation. To acquire this earning
capacity requires twelve years at
school of 1sO days each, or ?. 100 days.
Divide $22, 000 the value of an ed
ucation, by 2, 1850, the number of days
required in getting it, we find that
each day at school is worth little
more than $40 to the pupil. Can t
afford to miss school, can we?'-Ex.

of agricultural products. However,
when he thoroughly understands the
it and would not go back to the con
ditions where he must depend upon
the uncertainty of rain in producing
crops. Intensive farming is only
possible where there is plenty of
water and water at the right time.
1t is true that more time is necessary
in attending to a crop in the irrriga-
tion districts than those in the rain
belt, yet the greater crops and the
