| think my income has been about
81 per week and do not consider
that at all bad when I am getting a
college education TO boot.
| first came to Berea at the begin
ming OF the winter term OF 1906. !
brought enough money from home to
pay the expenses of that term.
then took tho carpenter course at
which I earned enough and a little
more than to pay the rent on my
tools by the end OF the term.
When time came to settle for the
spring term ! went to the secretary
expecting to borrow the amount but
he could not lend me that amount be-
cause ! had not earned much during
the past term and because I was so
small that u locked almost impossl-
Bile for me TO work out the sum loaned
by the end OF the spring term. Prof
Edwards went on my note for s13.

washing dishes and sweeping a school
room. BY the end OF the spring term
I had earned my expenses and 81
besides But spent no time stand
ing on the street corners. The follow
ing summer I earned enough at home
raising pigs to make the first pay
ment on the fall term. II was diff
cult at the beginning OF next term
to get a job that would pay well
on account OF my size which was very
small for n sixteen year old. The
cook at Ladies' Hall took a liking 20
me because ! washed the pans well
and was always around when needed.
She told me to go to work at the
kitchen job so did. did that work
four terms. At the end OF that time
secured a job waiting tables. After
doing that two years | became head
waiter.
The following 10 what I have earn
cd during my six years stay at Be
rea. and have climbed step by step
in my studies never failing to pass:
The year 1907 earned all my ex-
penses save the first payment and
had left over at the end OF the year
$3.50. The year 1908 l earned s9i23;
the year 1909 earned 1921; the
year 1910 earned s1O6.O6. the year
1911 I earned sl2744. The present
year I am assistant teacher IN agricul-
ture earning SO per week.

A GOOD INVESTMENT
Continued from page one

years crops and put II into the edu-
cation of his children he would find
that his money would bring him the
highest rate OF interest on any in
vestment no ever made. The man
of tomorrow will be an educated man.
That we know right well. The pres
ent day mountain man has many ad-
vantages that his father never had
and the mountain children of tomo--
row must be farther in advance of
their fathers than they Of their
predecessors and ancestors.
Then, too, money put into the edu-
cation Of the children will bring large
returns in that the child will be
better prepared not only to help in
the planning but to carry out the
plans that arc to be put into execu-
ton for the betterment of his own
family and of the whole countryside.
The problems OF the mountain man
are being studied and the boy or
girl of today has the opportunity
and privilege of studying the rural
problems and helping in their solu-
ton.
In another column will be found
reasons why beth tho graded school
pupils and the teachers of the graded
school should continue their studies
in the winter and spring. My message
is a call to the fathers and mothers
to take the advantage of the pres
ent prosperity and increased bank
funds which necessarily result from
prosperity. to make an investment in
the education Of their children. Once
before I tried to show the value Of
an education in increased earning
capacity and now l just want to call
the attention of the farmers and
stock raisers to the fact that If they
want to mako more money it will
mean dollars and cents In their pock-
cts to send their children to schools
"hSiO Ihcy Will icsiiu the Ut5t luetu-
DDS of farming and stock raising and
better ways Of home-making and
housekeeping. Much can be learned
in the winter and spring. In fact this
time is just as valuable as the other
five months of the year when boys
and girls arc sent to the district
school. ald why not continue their
training and teaching right through
the year as long as they can he
spared?
Arguing from the standpoint of
dollars and cents, then, the girl or
boy, who studiec during the winter
and spring and thus learns some more
economical way of raising the crops
or harvesting them and of bringing
up the land to the point of productiv-
ity where it will produce more corn,
potatoes. soy beans or cowpeas, pays
a large interest on the money in
vested in his or her schooling.
A course of study is also a good
investment for the school teacher
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1912-11-28

who would learn new methods.
receive new instruction, be filled
with new courage and go back TO
the district school in July, not only
better prepared himself and with a
higher grado certificate and better
laying school but ready and able TO
enrich the community In which he
teachers and instructs. The whole
country side must feel the influence
that radiates from such enthusiasm.
The boy or girl who neither lives
on the farm nor teaches school, who
continues his or her studies during
the winter and spring, has gained
much by continued and concentrated
study without the break of six or
seven months and the consequent ne
cessity of having to learn how 20
study all over again; that boy or
girl is Just that much sooner able 10
take a place as a leader I'm the
community. Not only this, a better
opportunity and more income awaits
such one just that much sooner and
from the standpoint of dollars and
cents 1t pays to continue school work
during the winter, at least, when lit
tie can be done at home.
Let us then ask ourselves. in the
face of the splendid opportunity, the
large crops and the early harvest,
why we should not invest some of
our earnings in keeping our chill
dren in school and thus enriching,
not only ourselves and our families
but the whole community of which
we are a part. Let nothing hinder us
then from giving our children as good
an education as we possibly can and
from sending them right on to school
through the winter and spring terms
as long as they can be spared from
the work on the farm or in the
home.
