VALUE OF A TECHNICAL
EDUCATION

A technical education is the
best insurance against hard
times. In earning capacity, it
may equal an estate of $4,000,
For the unframed are the posi-
tions of poverty and obscurity.
Times are hard in Suoth Caro-
lima, but the cost of an education
at Clemson College is compare
lively low,-sufficiently low to be
within the reach of any ambitious
young man in South Carolina.
Scholarships, free tuition and
the payment by the United States
Government to r. O.. T. G stu
dents, still further reduce the
cost. -.
Do not allow the financial diff
ficulties to keep you from enter
ing college this fall to prepare
yourself for the opportunities
that lie ahead.
