Education Pays!
Georgia Educational Improvement Council
The intangible assets of education have long been
recognized in American society. Os growing impor
tance is an assessment of education’s cash value.
For the individual, education pays in earning power.
Each level of education completed increases the indi
vidual’s income potential. Based on 1968 salary av
erages, a young man who completed high school
could earn $2,681 more per year than could his class
mate who left school after the eighth grade. If the
high school graduate completed four or more years
of college he could expect to earn, on the average,
$4,790 more per year than a person with an eighth
grade education.
Within a lifetime, a male college graduate will
earn $328,000 more than a high school dropout. The
young man who takes one to three years of post
secondary education will have a lifetime income ex
pectation of $61,000 more than that of the high
school graduate.
From the standpoint of the community, education
has an identifiable dollar value. Generally, the av
erage educational level corresponds blosely with per
sonal and family income averages. For example, in
1960 the West had a population which averaged 12
years of school completed, and a median annual
family income of $6,348. At that time the South’s
population had completed an average of 9.6 years
of school, and the median family income was $4,465.
A state benefits in many ways from raising the
income level of its residents. Isolating just one factor
— state income tax—demonstrates the dollar value
of education. In 1969-70 there were 958,052 pupils
attending Georgia public schools. By 1985 all this
group will be through school and contributing to the
economy. Assuming that the variables remain the
same —the same percentage distribution of high
school and college graduates, the average salaries
by educational level, the percentage of adults in the
labor force and the number of dependents per wage

THE HERALD - TRIBUNE, CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA
“Georgia is a pretty state, filled with
friendly people..
These were the words of an exchange
student, Susanne Nielsen, of Denmark,
speaking to the Cartersville Rotary Club
Monday.
It is a pretty state and we agree that it is
filled, for the most part, with “friendly
people.”
With vacation time upon us, it would be
well to consider spending that leisure
time-or at least a part of it-getting to know
our “pretty state.”
And we should remember, too, that many

Just recently the United Way of
American Magazine published an article
which had to do with a survey conducted by
the nationally known advertising agency,
Battern, Barton, Durstine and Osborne,
Inc.
What interest us - and we hope our
readers--is the fact that the survey showed
that average men are exposed to 285
advertising messages in a day, and the
women are exposed to 305.

earner—the state income tax potential would be
about $76 million per year. If all the pupils in this
group were graduated from high school the state
income tax potential would be about SIOO million
a year. Moving a large group up just one step in
education could produce an annual increase of $24
million in state income taxes alone, and there would
be similar increases in other forms of state revenue.

about it.
But these same people seldom

those which were held recently on
reapportionment or those that have
been conducted on traffic safety

We hope Gov. Carter will be

REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
\ x v, * K
THE UNITED STATES position on Red China has generated
great controversy. The recent Sino-United States ping-pong match
was seen as a major thaw in Red China’s militant relations with
the United States.
Many so-called China experts jumped on the bandwagon, urging
a reversal of our foreign policy.
First, they want the United States to officially recognize Red
China. We all acknowledge that Red China, because of sheer size
and population, is a major nation. Neither can we ignore that she
is a nuclear power.
No nations of the world can pretend Red China does not exist.
But diplomatic recognition of a country that arms enemies of the
United States and encourages revolutions world-wide is un
thinkable.
* * *
The second proposal is admission of Red China to the United
Nations. Chinese Communists have been most militant toward the
U.N. Red China has denounced the U.N. as a tool of Western
imperialism and vowed to undermine the organization.
In Korea, U.N. peace-keeping units had to fight forces trained
and armed by Red China. In the Congo, revolutionaries were
supported by Red China, again resulting in the need for U.N.
troops.
Now we are being told Red China has changed and we should
immediately admit this country and give her a chance to prove her
peaceful intentions. This is putting the cart before the horse. Red
China should first show she has changed her past positions and is
ready to accept the financial and peace-keeping responsibilities of
the U.N.
The final step in the advocated new position on Red China deals
with the establishment of U.S.-Sino trade relations. The Com
munists have shown little desire to cooperate with the United
States on commercial matters.
The Red Chinese market, while of great potential value, would
yield little profit to American companies. The United States does
not want to be flooded with more cheap-labor imports. The net
result for this country would be a loss of domestic jobs and the
creation of more jobs for the Red Chinese. Trade relations with
mainland China would bolster their economy at the expense of
our own. I find this position untenable.
A new relaxed diplomatic, political, and economic policy regard
ing Red China is dangerous and should not be rushed into without
careful and thorough study.

the quality of life for the coming decades, the reve

But, in no way does it mean that
we are to “highhat” the un
saved, draw our righteous robes
around us, and avoid the lost. In
the 13th verse of the same
chapter, Paul says, “Be not
unequally yoked together with
unbelievers...” Some interpret
this to mean that we are not to
mingle socially with non-
Christians, but I do not believe
that the Bible teaches a “holier
than-thou” attitude. Jesus
himself dined with publicans
and sinners, but He did not
compromise His convictions.
He mingled with them in a
helpful, redemptive way. To
win the lost we must go where
they are. Jesus even said,
“Make ye friends with the
unrighteous mammon.” When
Paul used the words, “Be no
unequally yoked together”, he
meant that we are not to
become saturated, to tied to the
spirit of unbelief which is found
in unbelievers. But nowhere in
the Scriptures are we forbidden
to mingle with those who do not
believe. In fact, one of the
weaknesses of the church today
is that we confine it to four walls
on Sunday morning, and fail to
make an impact upon our
friends, neighbors and
acquaintances. When Jesus
said, “Go ye unto all the world,”
He meant that we were to share
His love and good news with
those who are in darkness.
