school education increases a boys or
a mans earning capacity by so per

adds 100 per cent. to his earning
power, and college education 200
per cent?
Each school day well put in is
worth $40 to boy in the course of
his life. Government statistics
prove it. Here are the ngures:

Lack of schooling and education
draws that dead line" between fail
ure and success.
Most every young man if he lacks
the education that he needs, dis
covers it sooner or later. He sees
other fellows forge ahead of him.
His friend gets a "raise" while he
stays pegging away at the same old
Job. This is the critical time in that
mans life. His future depends upon
what he does. He may throw up his
hands in Encouragement, or he may
grit his teeth, find out what he must
do, and do it.
Thousands of young men are ind

This school is striving to give the boy
and the man that second chance fpr
