PRINCIPAL WALLET TALKS
TO COBURN STUDENTS

w. G. Mallett, principal of the State
Normal school at Pennington gave a
talk To the students of Coburn Class
zeal Institute Wednesday evening on
In" general subject of whether 1t pays
- keep in school. Mr.. Mallett treated
his subject first from the financial
standpoint by comparing the actual
financial return for boys and girls who
complete their high school course with
that " the boys and girls who go to
work before they enter high school.
His claim that every day boy or girl
goes to school is worth big wages was
substantiated by figures taken from a
United States report.
Mr.. Mallett then spoke Of the tech
meal skill that is required to run SO
many Industries in the world today
and the need of preparation for this
work. He extended the need beyond the
manufacturing industries to agriculture
and housekeeping which he charac-
terized as a science and said that
people must learn how to do It.
He then in a general way spoke Of
the cultural result. which makes all
education worth while and closed with
a plea 10 the young people to consider
teaching as a proper and patriotic line
Of work for which to prepare. SO that
M the boys are doing their work at
the front. so these behind do their
duty Is well.
