' Value of a Technical * College Education A young man can make no belter investment than in a technical education. Viewed merely as a matter oi' business, even if he has to borrow the money at interest, he will find that his increased earning capacity will perhaps even the first year after graduation be sufficient to Financial Support Clemson College is founded on a covenant with the agricultural people. Back in the '80's, tho advocates of Agricultural and Industrial Education promised that if given the tax of 25c per ton on tho commercial fertilizers sold in the State, tho Trustees would organize not only an efficient system of inspection and analysis to protect the farmers from Imposition in tho purchase of their main commodity, but with what remained after paying the cost of this protection, would I build and operate a College. During the history of the College, the tag tax has averaged $110,24 7.62. For the past three fiscal years it has ^^tveraged $238,9 58.02. The Legislature of South Carolina makes no appropriation,for Clemson College. In addition to the fertilizer tax, the College receives from the Federal Treasurer $2 5,000 annually, and a small amount comes from tuition and interest on the Clemson and Landscript Funds. The South Carolina Experiment Station is supported entiroly by funds from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and has no part In the College work.

It is a poor business policy to wait to earn the money necessary to pay for an education with an earning!: capacity only one-half or one-third that of an educated man.. Every year of untrained, uneducated labor represents a direct financial loss. Every boy of ability and ambition whose parents are unable to pay for his education should get some friend to indorse ids note at the bank and begin preparation that will make for greater earning capacity and a fuller life. There is no time to lose. The world is looking for 1,000 horsepower men and is willing to pay for tliem. Already there is a surplus of the one horsepower variety. A College education is 110 longer a luxury of tlie rich, but more a necessity of (lie poor boy whose parents can give him little or nothing to start on. In earning capacity, a College education represents at the outset a capital of from $15,000 to $30,000, depending upon the energy, character and personality of the i>osscssor, and the capital increases with every year of its ellieicnt use. A College diploma has come to be regarded by the business world not so much as an evidence of knowledge as evidence that the graduate possesses and is trained in those qualities of ability, industry, ambition and character that are likely to make for success. There never was a time in the history of the world when expert knowledge was so much in demand, so indispensable to individual success, and so highly compensated.

Clemsons Public Service Out of the fertilizer tax only about $130,000 la expended upon the College. Nearly $100,000 annually represents tho cost of public servico rendered to the farmers. This public work includes not only the fertilizer inspection and analysis, but veterinary and entomological inspection, cattle tick and hog cholera eradication, branch experiment stations, scholarships, cooperative experiments, extension and demonstration work, etc. The Collego officers write nearly 35,000 letters every year giving specific Information, and send out nearly 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 analysis carried on by the College Insures tho attainment of that standard. The farmer, even If ho 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 inon, and demanding no appropriations from tho State Treasury for its support. 1 '* ?? ?
