Every dollar put into the educa-
ton of an honest boy or girl will
yield cash return Of ten dollars,
besides giving 10 the community a
leader trained for the service Of hu-
manity. (,
Am | able to pay the price OF an
education? This is the great 1ues-
ton that staggers so many good
people in many parts Of the country.
Il is almost unanswerable because
.he best schools Of those parts are
beyond the reach Of the poor struy-
Cling boys and girls AMI have no
special opportunities to offer them.
But that should not be a serious
question any longer in the great
mountain region of the South. Be-
rca College with its affiliated schools
il the answer TO that question.
No person should ask for a better
opportunity of securing an educa-
ton than that il be furnished them
as chcaply as their own living ex-
penses at home. And that is exact
~ what Berea does. We furnish
the very best instruction free of
cost 30 every student who enters
Berea. Room rent, with heat, light,
beds and their equipment, towels,
tables, wardrobes, and bookcases,
and their upkeep for fifty and
sixty cents week. Substan-
tial board, the equal of which
the family cannot furnish for
two dollars a week in their own
home, is furnished by the College
for $50 a week.
To make detailed account, a
rapid relating. the total cost for
three months schooling in Berea is
about $3.50 a week. But perhaps
you will say that $3.50 week is
more money than you can afford to
pay Tor education.
Stop again and do a little calcu-
lating. II you have a daughter
whom you would like TO put in
school, her expenses for the winter
term would be about thirty-fve dol
lars.
In preparing your winters pro-
visions for the family you figured
one meat-hog for each member Of
the family. Sell one hog and turn
the money over TO Berea College Do
apply TO the education and living
expenses of your daughter. You
have allowed two barrels of corn, a
quantity of canned fruit and vege-
tables for each member Of the
household. All of these products
can be turned into money and APP
piled 10 the school expenses of the
daughter who would have eaten
them at home.
Don't you see how easy Berea has
made il for people who are really
anxious TO get an education? Then
too, think Of the hundreds of young
people who have worked for the
College to pay large part of the
little sum we charge. You cannot
hope to do much work the first term
you are in Berea, but as soon as we
get acquainted with you and learn
your ambition and your need, OPP
portunities greater than you expec-
ted will be thrown open TO you.
Can any parent or child in the
mountains neglect so great an OPP
portunity.
