SHOWS VALUE
 OF EDUCATION

Washington, May 8.-The value of staying at school is stated in dollars and cents in figures compiled by the Bureau of Education and now being distributed to boys and girls throughout the country by the Children's Bureau.
 From a study of a large number Of actual cases it has been found that at 25 years of age the boy who re- ntained in school until he was IS had received $2,OOO more salary than the boy who left school at II, and that the better e6uCated youth was then receiving more than $500 a year more in pay.
 This is equivalent to an invest ment of $1S.G00, at , per cent" the sta atement said. Gan a boy increase his capital IS fast in any other way?"
 Prom this time on the salary of the better educated boy will rise still more rapidly. while the earnings of the boy who left school at 14 will in | crease but little"
 i While wages have increased with the war, the proportions shown in a | table of weekly earning still hold 1 true the statement said The boy who left school at II at the time the 1 investigation was made received an | average of S4 a week, his wages in i creasing each year to $7 a week at l IS. The boy who remained in school i until he was IS began work at $10 | e week. At 20 the salaries were | S95O week for the boy who left
 school early and s15 for his better l trained competitor. At 25 they were ! earning $12.75 and $31 respectively
 and total wages up to that time had been S5,112.5O and $7.337.5O. so that
 the boy who remained in school had ! earned nearly 50 per cent more in eight years than the other lad in F 1 years.
 "ChiIdren should stay in school as l long as possible because education l means better jobs,'' the Children's l Bureau urges. Boys and girls who go to work at the end of grammar
 school rarely get good jobs. The work they find to do is usually un- l skilled; it offers little Htraining or chance for advancement. When they are older they find they are still un- trained for the skilled work whicf 1 offers a future. Education mean! higher wages.
 Many boys and girls when they leave school find work that offers c 1 high wage for a beginner. But these
 " ages seldom grow because the work ! requires no training.
 "A position with future and
 steadily increasing wages require: school training.
 Docs it pay to continue you1 studies? Education means sue cessfuI and useful life; it pays the 1 individual. Education means eff 1 cient workers; it pays the nation
 Show this to your parents and asl them what they think about it Stay in school"
