In Massach usetcs during 1903,
thirty-eight dollars and fifty cents
per pupil was spent for educational
purposes; while in Tennessee. only
four dollars and sixty-eight cents

they have an abundance of natural

maximum wages paid to men is nine
cents per day, while three or four
cents is considered good wages for
children. Their products and re-
sources do not aid them in getting

WHY [ NEED MORE EDUCATION
THAN MY PARENTS HAD?
Pauline MuT-nhy River Park school


A few score years ago our par
ents were boys and girls as we are
now. They went to school and
learned "Readin', 'Ritein' and 'Rith-
metic." Could we put everything we
learn under three titles? Our par
ents seldom received even a good
grammar school education. But still
they lived! Some received good posi-
lions and good pay for the time and
conditions under which they lived.
why cannot 1 do as they did
Why must l put in my time study
ing what my parents never knew"
you ask.
This is the reason: The world is
growing! 1t is going on and on. 1t
is not stopping to see if you are
coming. And if you keep up you
must have something TO lun on
namely, education.
"A man without education is like
a lamp--perfect in every detail
capable tot giving out a wonderful
light-yet lacking the one essen
tial-oil A man with education is
ready for the match to touch his
wick-or, in other words. a good
pOsition-and then, like the lamp.
he becomes suddenly famous. Men
begin 10 look up to him. He soon
makes a success in life, because ne
thought it wise 10 spend a few dol
lars and get an education while he
was young. But the world does not
stop to find out what becomes of
you. 1t goes on. 1t is true 10 the
old command. sail on and on and
on IT sails. 1t does not look back.
Why do not you so on instead of
stopping TO look about you? And
then-before you know it-you are
one among ten thousand. You are
one of the many who live and that
Is all. You get fair pay and that is
enough for you. But why not spend
a few more dollars at the begin
ming and get a position from which
you can sail on and on, instead of
lying dormant or gradually drifting
back. back from where you came?
Men with education have pro-
NOTED the WORLD so far that it can
not even see you-unless you make
yourself seen. Get out where il
can see you. And there is only one
way to get thereby the narrow
road of education. Go TO school and
get the thing your brain clamors for
knowledge"

THE VALUE OF EDUCATION IN
DOLLARS AND CENTS.
Marjorie Lee. High school,
Third Place.

The government is now urging
every boy and girl to remain in
school. ana why? Because the gov
eminent realizes that we will need
stronger, better educated men and
women for the reconstruction work,
men and women who can meet the
demands of the age, and help pay
the debts of war.
Tt has been proved by actual fig
ures. that the boy or girl who re-
mains in school earns nine dollars
per day: therefore, if he or she
drops out of school 10 take a posi-

Fascination of a Helmet.

The Hun helmet possesses a strong
fascination for the American soldier.
Apparently he is not able to resist the
temptation to capture n whenever
or wherever he sees 1t. A news story
from the Rhine country tells US that
German policemen Of the towns oc-
cupied by the American troops have
given up wearing helmets. Many Of
the policemen gave them up because
they had none to yea Others dis
continued their use because the Amer
lean officers made the discontinuance
a request. The American soldiers, 1t
is explained, couldn't resist the i'm
pulse to capture them. The German
policemen were rushed all along the
Rhine and deftly ~unbonneted. 1t all
shows that the primitive instinct that
urges a victor to take from the con-
quered some symbol of his submission
continues strong in the warrior breast
