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.
