What is a college education
worth? This is timely question
in South Dakota for high school
students who will be entering col
leges and universities ..he first week
in February, when, the second
semester begins.
DR.. Arthur Holmes, dean of the
faculty of the Pennsylvania State
College, recently asserted that a
college education is worth $40, 900,
He arrived at this CONCLUSION from
a comparison of the average salary
of college trained man which is
1,187 against $518 for the non
college man., making an annual
dividend OF $3.50 on a college edu-
cation. College graduates average
% years of age and at that age the
average American has 80 years
work before him. This would
mean a profit of $19,50O directly
resulting from college education.
