The Advantages Enjoydd by a col

Xe.~Jherr*y Co!!'yr. in: fi ( oumbjio

The State has asked mec to rame
some of the advantages enjoyed
by a college-bred man. This be
ing a utilitarian zige, the first
point that comes to mind when
thus challenged to give a reason
for my faith in education is the
simple appealing' fact, it pays.
Investigation has settled thbe
truth of this cogent stat.ement be-I
yond the reach of the cynic's
sneer or the cheap cavil of the~
"self-made man" who "thinks
pretty well of his job." A shol
ar with a fondness for figures has
proved it from th book "W ho'
Who?" This book contains
names of several thousand A meri
cans wvho have become notable as
factors in the pro~gress and
achievement of the age, from
"captains of industry" upwards.
When the investigator came to
determine how many of these
celebrities wer'e actually se~f
made men -that is, without an y
school training whatever-hie was
surprised to learn that they wxere
less than two-fifthis of one~ per
cent. Of the whIole number,
those that had reached success
writh only a common school train
ing c,omprised 1(1 per cent.; those t
who had added high school work t
rose nearly to 10' peir cent. wshile
the remaining 74 ptr cent werei
made up ex~lusivdyl of col.e-e- e
bredimen: Or, as the investicv.

A week or two ago I was talk
ing with one of the most promi
nent manufacturers in the south
--a native of Edgetield county,
by the way-and it was interest
ing to learn his opinion of the
comnmercial value of an education.
He has given a great deal of
thought to the subject, and Lor3
are some of b:s conclusions. He
believes that if the annual earn
ing capaeity of the illiterate and
untrained ma:2 be set down as
8600, then that of the trained
university man would reach thbe
sum of $30,000), while the actual
monetary value of this man to the
zommonwealth is just 50 times
greater than the other's. These fig
ires are not likely t o be chimerica!,

that sad French saying: "Oh
that youth had knowledge! Oh,
that age had power!'
I am going to mention now one
of thbe advantages of the college
bred main that may seem trivial
to many, but is certainly very
precious to me: I mean his
right of enhance to a charmedI
circle constituting what may be
called for want of a better name,
the aristocracy of letters. The
English laughingly say that edu
eation is the American fetich
and there is something in their
jest. Are no: collegians courted]
even of our millionaires whenp
they desire the rehabilitation of
their reputa-:ions? Do not the
"money kings" pay tribute to the
don? But jesting aside, there2
is a dielighzful comradeship about
college men that make up a a
world-wide fraternity, a univer
sai fiee-masonry in culture, mem
bership in which is the highest
social privilege that I know any
thing about. It is no light s
rmatter to be made instantly at! (

It matters little what her given a
name may be; to be a "college 1
man" admits to brotherhood h
Li cha;Lrmed circle unless the p
son has proved unworthy of his v
enother. And who would forego re
the memory of those '-dear de- m

WVe cannot weigh these values in

Chiefly, however, would I reck
