Unless you young people who read
this are making s2.00o.00 a year you
should get into the high school or some
other good school for that is what each
year Of your high school course is wol tn
to you. II you don't believe it count It
up for yourselves. The average yearly
income Of common school graduate is 4,
100000 Of high school graduate $500.
and Of college graduate is sl20O.00. |
Suppose you wish to retire at sixty you
will have about forty years to work.
$4,000, the income Of common school |
graduate multiplied by 40 amounts &c.
600. 90 for the total income. $500 mul.
tipled by 80 is $32. 900. 90 the total in
come Of high school graduate. The
difference between the two is SIG, 900. 90 |
which divided by four gives 100000. |
Cut this in two for fear some one will
say our story is too big and still you
will have earned s2.ooo.o0 every year
Of your high school course. What pays
better than going to high SCHOOL, The
high school graduate can also figure
what he will make by going to college.
or course, we all know Of college grad.
yates who are not earning even s400. 90
and also Of men who did not even COM
pletc the common school who have for
tunes but we are speaking Of averages.
The high school course merely increases
your chances Of making good liveli-
hood. II should also be said that this
average is found OF all high school grad
yates and not just those who have had
the vocational or technical courses. So
though II may be hard for many Of US
to understand the ordinary college pre-
paratory course must enable the possc,,
sor to make several hundred dollars n
"" "otc HoHcy tnnn tnc non-pohrc IS
or for there are many more Of these
than OF the technical gradates.
However this Is the wrong way to
look Mt the high school course because
the additional income is ono Of the
smallest benefits of higher education
but In this commercial age W Q have TO
SEQ the money aide of every proposition
and here II Ia.
Let US enter every common school
graduate In the county high school this
fall. We arc making preparations to
you. Why not take nd.
vantage Of your excellent opportunities
