The University of Arizona

day in the yards at Winslow last

dismissed at 2 O'Clock in order to
give some 900 children an oppor-

making Arizona a great state.
The four cars were thronged with
visitors during the day, and were
fully worthy of the large number
of visitors. The train presented
in a forcible manner the import
ance of scientific farming and a
better rural life. 1t illustrated
graphically how to best till the
soil, select and market crops,
feed, breed and select livestock;
proper methods of dry farming,
and the latest and best methods

Freshman
The Freshmen gave a picnic
last Saturday. They went out to
fuckers Spring, and coming back
had a break down. Harold Nc
Cauley was the hero of the day.
He did a mile in nothing, coming
back to town after gasoline. It
was seven O'Clock when they ar
rived in town.
Margaret Wyrick and Opal
Meyers have returned to school
after a months absence.
The Freshman have a very good
basketball team this year, and
have worked hard at it. They
played the Grammar school (and

The Dollars and Cents Value
Of An Education.
The Bureau of Education,
Washington, D. c., has recently
published pamphlet showing
the comparative earning powers
ST some 40, men at the age Of
80 years. This investigation was
accomplished with the aid of the
State Superintendent, Random,
from Maine to California. The
first 10000 men were practically
illiterate, never having but a
year of schooling. They were
earning on an average $457. 46
during the year 1912.
The second 10000 men select
ed were all graduates of the
eight grade of the public schools.
They were earning during 1912,
an average of $859.80.
The third 10000 men were
graduates of High Schools only
and were earning 81, 477.62, on
an average during 1912.
The fourth 10000 men were
graduates of Colleges and Uni
versities, all having spent Is
years in acquiring an education.
They were earning an average
So, 351.5 apiece during 1912.
Figuring every man to have a
working life of 35 years, we find
that the College graduates ear
ming power is $66, POI, 40 greater
during his lifetime than that of
the illiterate man. That the H.
S. graduates have earning power
that will b ring them $35, 706. sc
more than the illiterate person.
Can there be a greater argu-
ment presented to any parent,
of the value of knowledge? As
this is a Commercialage we take
this method of presenting the
The Winslow mail., 1913-11-22

aspect OF modern education In a
commercial light. That the H.
S. graduate is infinitely more
able to cope with life than the
Public School graduate is an ad-
mitted fact; so why deny your
boy such a chance? Why do you
fail to make him see what his
youth and incapacity and unpre-
paredness can only fail to bring
to him? Who is to decide as to
what is best for the welfare of
a boy or girl Of 16; the child or
the parent. The high cost of
living is never lamented by those
that are prepared for the strug-
gle of life but by those whom by
chance or choice are in the un-
desirable and poorly paid position.
Isn't it true?
