"Does 1t Pay to Go to School" He
told us that if a man quit school when
he finishes the Eighth grade that by
the time he is twenty-one he will
probably be earning about $4,000
year, while if he goes to high school
he will be earning $1,000 a year at the
same age. Then if he should go to
college at the age Of twenty-five he
would be earning on an average of
about $4,000 a year. Thus his four
years training and ability are worth
about $4,000 each year. Before the
war the Eighth grade graduate was
earning about 81 per week while
the high school graduate was earning
$50 week. Rev. Barrier quoted the
following little verse to show his
point.
