Value of a Technical
College Education
A young tiian can make no better Imewtuieut thnn in a tecbnical
edu<-ation. Viewed nicrel) as a n.alter of business, even if be bas to
borrow tile money at Interest,'be will find tbitl bis increased earning
ca|»ncity will |iertin|>M e\en the first year after graduation lie sufficient to
rejuiy tbc loan. It is a poor busiii<s.s |»ollcy to wait to earn tlic money

ambition whose parents an* unable to |>ay for his rslm-atlon should get
some friend to Indorse bis note at tin* bank and begin |irr|taratinn that
will make for greater earning ea|»aelty and a fuHer.Ilfe.^ There Is no time
to lost*. The world is looking for 1.000 horseiiower men and Is willing to
pay for them. Already there is a surplus of tl»e one horsepower variety.
A College education Is no longer a luxury of the rich, but more a
necessity of the |MMir boy whose itan-nts can give him little or nothing to
start on. In earning ca|»aclty. a College education represents at the out
set a capital of from Sta.ooo to $30,000. de|iendlng ufton the energy,
character and |»crsnnnlft) of the |K>ssest*or. and the capital Increases with
every year of Its ellicieiit use.
A College diploma has come to lie regarded by the business world not
so milch as an evtdenee of knowledge as evideiwe that the graduate pos
sesses and Is trained In those tpuilitles of ability. Industry, ambition and
character tbat are likely to make for suers'**.
There ne\er was a time In the history of tlie world when expert

Financial Support ■
Clemson College la founded on a covenant with the agricultural
people. Back In the '80'a. the advocates of Agricultural and Indus
trial Education promised that If given the tax of 25c per ton on the
commercial fertilisers sold in the State, the Trustees would organize
not only an efficient system of Inspection and analysis to protect the
farmers from imposition in the purchase of their main commodity,
but with what remained after paying the cost of this pr< tectlon, would
build and operate a Collega During the history of the College, the tag
tax ha* averaged 1116,24".82. For ihe past three fiscal years it has
averaged 1838.958.62. The Legislature of South Carolina makes no
/ V ’%
appropriation for Clemson College.
In addition to the fertilizer tax, the College receives from the Fed
eral Treasurer $25,000 annually, and a small amount cofnes from tui
tion and interest on the Clemson and l^indscrlpt Funds. The South
Carolina Experiment Station Is supported entirely by funds from the
U. 8. Department of Agriculture, and has no part in the College work.

out.of the fertilizer tax only about $130,000 Is expended upon the
College. Nearly $100,000 annually represents the cost of public serv
ice rendered to the farmers. This public work include*' not only the
fertilizer Inspection and analysis, but veterinary and entomological In^
spectlon, cattle tick and hog cholera eradication, branch experiment
stations, scholarships, cooperative experiments, extension and demon
stration work, etc. The College offleers write nearly 35,000 letters
every year giving specific Information, and send out Gnarly half a
million bulletins and circulars.
A higher standard for commercial fertilizers Is maintained In South
Carolina than in any other Southern State. The inspection and analy
sis carried on by the College Insures the attainment of that standard.
The farmer, even If he and not the manufacturer pays the tax of 25c
per ton, gets value received many times over in the Increased value
of his fertilizers. In addition, a great Agricultural and Mechanical
College has been built up worth over a million and a third dollars,
enrolling annually nearly 850 young men, and demanding no appro
priations from the State Treasury for Its support.
