EVERY DAY SPENT IN SCHOOL
PAYS A. BOY 50.
Too Few of Us Understand Inn
spOrtancc Of Education.
BY II. G. Holden.

The whole world is facing a period
of reconstruction. Not only today,
but for years to come the people Of
America, as of every other country,
will be called upon to solve problems
that will demand the best thought.
Gigantic tasks await our attention.
Upon men of ability will depend our
progress.
Does. education pay? Is it better
to take u boy out of high school
and put him to work? Is it better for
the boy?
Who would consider it an act of
wisdom to take a boy from a job
where he was earning 1926 a day and
put him to work earning $3.50 a day?
A man is worth $3.50 a day from
his head down. What he earns over
that depends upon what he has stored
away in his head and the use he
makes of it.
Fail TO Value Education.
Toe many of us are inclined to dis
regard the advantages Of an educa-
ton. Dad didn't get any high
school training. He has been able
to make a living and he doesn't see
the need of wasting any time in send
ing Bill" to high school. But the
in school is worth 1925. and that,
probably. is more than dad ever
earned in one day.
A bulletin issued by the U. S. bu-
reau of education. based on wages
paid in the years before the war,
shows that the uneducated laborer
earns an average of $500 a year. This
means that in 40 years his total
earnings are $4,000. High school
graduates earn an average of $1,000
a year., or $40,O00 in 40 years. The
average child must go to school IL
years before graduating from the
high school. This is a total Of 2,16O
days. The $4,000 which the high
school graduate earns in excess Of
that paid to the uneducated man is

Chicago, Jan. 22.--Bishop Thomas
Nicholson Of Chicago sounded the
keynote of the Methodist Episcopal
church's plan for a missionary and
educational campaign which con-
templates the raising of a fund of

address delivered last night before the
joint centenary committee of the de-
nomination he said:
''It is a program which con-
templates putting all government and
all diplomacy the world around on a
Christian basis Of Righteousness, open
and square dealing, and even justice
for high and low. for rich and poor.
1t proposes that we give a new mean

This program proposes hospitals
where there never have been hos
pitfalls. 1t proposes better houses, bet
ter schools where there have been in
ferior schools or none at all. 1t pro-
poses that we shall make the love of
God and of man burn all the b%aseness
out of human relations, all the graft
out of human government, all the
cruelty out of modern business in

ut is a gratifying and hopeful fact
that in opening this great world pro-

time in the worlds history. make the

In "The Girl Dodger," now being
shown at the Columbia. Charles Ray
strengthens his position as one of the
cleverest players on the screen. That
he is able to play the climacteric
scenes minus a portion of his ward
robe which is generally considered
essential, and still not lapse into
cheap comedy methods shows real
ability.
THE Girl Dodger" is the most
amusing photo-comedy that has been
released in many weeks.
Mr. Ray in the film play is known
as THE Dreamy Dub" the college
grind who lodges all maidens, be-
lieves that the downward path is
decorated with ladies of the chorus
and that cocktails are made from the
juice of the forbidden fruit. THE

posite temperament, prevails upon the
Dub to entertain an expected visitor
OF the chorus, while he goes to meet
his tiancee, but when the fiancee drops
in instead, there are some delightful
complications, and the young lady,
feeling that she must live up to her
supposed position, plants a kiss upon
the lips of the astonished Dub. From
that moment his fate is sealed.
