The average reduced to individual cases would be something like this: Two boys, age 14, are both interested in mechanics. One goes into the shops, the other into a technical school. The boy in the shops starts at $4 a week, and by the time he is 18 he is getting $7. At that age the other boy is leaving school and starting work at $10 a week. At 20 the shop-train ed young fellow is getting $0.50 and the technical graduate $15; at 22 the former's weekly wages is $11.50, and the latter's $20; and by the time they are both 25 the shop worker finds $12.75 in his pay en velope while the technically trained man draws a salary of $31. These figures are based on a study of 2,000 actual workers made by the Massachusetts commission for industrial and technical education. -Augusta Herald.
