DOLLAR VALUE OF
STAYING IN SCHOOL

Washington, May 15.-The value
of staying in school is stated in dol
lars and cents in figures complied by
the bureau of education and now
being distributed. to boys and girls
throughout the country by the child
ren's bureau.
From a study of large number of
actual cases it has been found that
at 25 years of age the boy who re-
NAMED in school until he was Is had
received $4,000 more salary than the
boy who left school at IA, and that
the better educated youth was then
receiving more than 5000 year more
in pay.
"This is equivalent to an invest
ment of $4,000 at per cent" the
statement said. Can boy increase
his capital as fast in any other way?"
From 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 Ia will in
crease but little"
While wages have Increased with
the war, the proportions shown in a
table of weekly earning still hold true
the statement said. The boy who left
school at IA at the time the investi-
cation was made, received and aver
age of $4 week, his wages increas-
ing each year to 81 a week at 18.
The boy who remained in school I'M
til he was 10 began at $40 week
At 20 the salaries were $3.50 a week
for the boy who left school early and
SIS for his better trained competitor.
At 25 they were earning $12.75 and
$31 respectively, and total wages up
to that time had been$5, 112.50 and
$7,357.50, so that the boy who re-
NAMED in school had earned nearly
so per cent more in eight years than
the other lad in II years.
Children should stay in school as
long as possible, because education
means better jobs" the children's
bureau urges. Boys and girls who
go to work at the end of grammer
school rarely get goods jobs. The
work they find to do is usual unskill-
ed; it offers little training or chance
for advancement. When they are old
err they find that they are still un-
trained for the skillful work which
offers a future. Education means
higher wages.
