more Spartan-llke simplicity of living
and let US build up social service until
every city In China is sanitary, every
section of the town has its proper
schools, and every child, whether boy
or girl, Is sent to such schools. True
social service brings democracy in Its

PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL
Fact Shown in Dollars and Cents by
Figures Compiled by Bureau of
Education.

The value of staying at school is
stated in dollars and cents in figures
recently compiled by the bureau of
education and distributed to boys and
girls throughout the country by the
children's bureau.
From a study of large number
of actual cases it has been found that
at twenty-five years of age the boy
who remained in school until he was
eighteen had received $1,000 more sal
airy than the boy who left school at
fourteen, and that the better-educated
youth was then receiving more than
$500 year more in pay.
This Is equivalent to an investment
of $4,000 at 5 per cent" the state
ment said. Can a 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 fourteen will
increase but little"
