DOES IT PAY? [

from "Does It Pay?'.' the booklet is- !
BOcd by the State Council of Defense,
from which some matter was published
last week. It is to be hoped that
the readers of The Advertiser are
Kivintf these facts and arguments
their very careful attention. There |
will be more to follow. "Does It ;
Pay" is a study of education on its i
lowest, most vulvar terms, that of!
money-getting, but even there it
presents an unanswerable argument.
??The Editor.)
Education and Income
Is education worth anything in
dollars and cents? Does it increase
one's earning capacity? If so, how
much?
Prior to 1911 it was easy to give (
definite answers to these questions.
Many iniparuul investigations into
the relation between education and
income had been made, and their results
all pointed strikingly to the
greatly increased earning capacity of
the educated over the uneducated.
As expressed by Foster: "It seems
that men do not differ much below the (
shoulders; with that part of their t
anatomy they gain about the same
wages per day in the unsentimental ,
world of business; what they become ,
from the shoulders up makes the dif- (
ference."
These conclusions have been oh- ,
tained in two ways. In one, the in- .
vestigators went into th(; factories,
business houses, and other cnlcrpris- ,
es and found out the amount of
ttchooling the successful employees
in the various grades of work had
had. In the other, the investigators
followed out. into life the graduates '
of certain schools to see what kinds
of work they went into, what records
they made, and what salaries they
drew from year to year "The salary *
paid to an individual because of certain
educational qualifications pos- '
(tensed by him represents not only the (
financial value of that education to
him, but also in a general way rep- r
resents the financial value which the '
community places upon the service '
made possible by that education."
Dodge's Study
One of the earliest of these studies
Was made bv Mr. .I.irm-si M rii.H./i,
one of the prominent manufacturers |
of laenc.i and former president of i
the American Society of Mechanical <
Engiaoers. Mr. Dodge calculated the i
financial value of different grades of j
eduration by comparing the earning
capacities of common laborers, shopapprentice
trained men, trade-school ?
graduates, and technical-school grad- 1
uates, who were employed in the Rev- t
eral la rge factories under his ob- |
aervation. *
Hi* conclusion is, in brief, that four t
years' training at a technical school i
makes a man, by the time he is 22, >
four times as valuable as the laborer, I
approximately three times as valu- ?
able as the shop-trained apprentice, and
72 per cent. rn<A valuable than >
the trade-school grudu. ' < surely a '
good return for four years spent in I
preparation. I
Mr. Dodge found that, even in tjje a
lowest grades of factory work the un a
educated laborer was often unsuc- I
cessful. Only f> per cent. of the un- t
skilled remained in the factory even I
in unskilled work. s
Factory Workari' Salaries and Edu- r
cation in Massachusetts <
The Massachusetts Committee on
Industrial Education made a study of
790 workers who had left school at
either 14 or 18 years of age and <:
traced the actual average salaries received
by these workers from yser to

year. They found that hoys who had
remained four years longer in school
in order to take a technical course
oun caught up in salary with their
brothers who stopped at 14 and went
in. .?>i >>i iiifin m? rapuny mat oy mo
m.< th? y were 22 years old the sum
>f the four years' salary of the better-educated
boys was equal to that
if the eight years' salary of those
who had quit school at 14. At the
age of 25 the boys who had taken
four years' extra schooling were on
he average getting $!?()(> per year
more than those who left school at
'he age of 14.
From the 25th year on the boys
who left school at 14 would receive
practically no promotion, whereas,
hose who had remained in school till
IK, and had therefore entered the
higher grade industries and positions,
would continue to receive promotion
and increase in salary for many
years.
if, however, it is assumed that each
>oy continues for the remainder of
his normal working life to receive the
same salary that he was paid at 25
y *ars of age, the boy who quit school
it 14 would receive a total life in oine
of $2(5,107, while the boy that
remained till 18 would receive
>"iK.ltOO. It thus appears that four
years of technical education, from 14
o 18 years of age, more than doubles
he earning capacity of the averai/o
Massachusetts boy engaged in iniustry
and richly repays both him
tnd th<- State for the time and money
I ('voted to his education.
r_duc?tion and the Missouri Farmer
In J 1)12 the Missouri College of
Sericulture conducted a survey of
i id farms in Johnson county, Mo.
)f these farmers, r?f>4 had only a disr;ct
school education, while 102 had
eceivcd more than that. It was
"ound that the better educated farmers
operated 33 per cent, more land
mil owned four fifths of the land they
>per a ted, as against three-fifths
(wned by those with only district
ichool education; they kept one-sixth
nore stock, worked 14 per cent, more
and per workman, and earned 71
>er cent, more clear labor income per
fear. Prof. O. It. Johnson, in concluding
his report of this survey,
lays
"While otner factors may ha"e
flayed some part in this greater earnng
capacity, yet from a careful study
>f th,. organization of his business it
ippears that education must have
flayed a very large part in his great*r
e truing ability."
To sum up: Any one of these many
itudies may not be conclusive, but]
,vhen all of them poinl so clearly and
without exception to the greatly su-1
l uiniuK jiwwirr in me euucaieu,
he conclusion is irre sistible. There
indoubedly exists a close causal conlection
between education and
vealth. The schools, with all their
\iults, are giving their pupils a greater
earning power than even the
trongest advocate of education had
laimed. It is a fundamental law of
nen and nations that earntog ca-1
lacity is based on education. It had
orig been known that only through,
i thorough system of public school:
ind colleges can a State or a nation
>e suie of an adequate supply of
(linking citizens. it now also ap- j
ears that th?j more a man or a State i
pends on education, the more that i
nan or that State can earn. Knowl-1
dge is not merely power; it is money.

Chief of Police Melton received a I
'phone call earlv in the nftarnann of '
Tuesday informing him that a couple,
Mr. Ciritlin and Miss Little, of Marshville,
wore headed for the office of
ihe Probate Judge of Chesterfield
ounty, and that close on their heels,
to to speak, was the father of the
bride, who claimed she was not as
?hl as she claimed to be, and Mr.
Melton was requested at least to inlereferc
with affairs until the father
ould arrive. The couple soon apteared
on th,. scene accompanied by
ioveral other young people. Mr.
Melton stated that he knew he had
no authority in the premises to make
i-.n arri-st. but persuaded the couple,
