Childrsn's Bureau Of ths Department
Of Labor is anxious Tilt the teachers
make special effort in behalf Of the
stay-in-school phase Of the back-to-
school campaign this spring. Many
children, they viii find. are unfa-
miliar with the laws governing their
leaving school for work. Often the
teacher can savs the children future
trouble il she will familiarizs them
with the provisions Of the states laws
which vitality concern them -
Perhaps some time each week could
be set aside during the "stay-in
school" campaign for making these
laws clear to the children, and for
discussing with them their chances
in different kinds Of work. Ths ad-
vantages Of two years' additional
schooling should be stressed, and in
this stay-in-school lsaflst, prepared
by the Children's Bureau, will help.
Any teacher may secure these for
free distribution to her pupils by
writing to the Children's Bureau De-
partment Of Labor, Washington, D.

At 25 years Of ago the boy who
had remained in school until 1s had
received over $4,000 more salary than
the boy who left at Ia, and was then
receiving over $500 a year mora.
This is equivalent to an investment
Of $4,000 At per cent.
Can a boy increase his capital Is
fast any other way?
From this time on the salary Of the
bettsr educated boy will rise still
more rapidly. while the earnings of
the boy who left school at IL will in,
crease but little.
Although the wages paid now are
much higher than when this study
was made, the comparison remains
the same.

quirsd length Of term. Many cannot
get in seven months before the end
Of the school year, June 80th, but
they can do the best they can
