I IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS Dk in h it Over! T HOUSANDS of South Car olina boys and girls are planning to enter college this fall. Those of them who realize their opportunity and take advantage of it will in years to. come be the leaders in our state in business, the pro fessions and politics. It might he inspiring to these prospective college students to quote figures recently compiled as to the monetary value of an education. 1^ is shown that the average annual earnings of col lege trained people are $3,400 higher than those of high school training, and that high school graduates earn $1,100 mor* than those with only elementary school training. —’Thii study figures that the - total lifetime earnings of a Col lege graduate are $160,000, while the high school graduate’s are $88,000, and the elemenUry school graduate earns only $64,000. This does not take into con sideration the greatest value of an education, the satisfaction in one’s own mind and heart, and the added pleasures that an educated person will derive throughout life.
