Money Value of an Education.
While no intelligent person
would think of placing a money
value and a money value alone
on an education, still it has a
value viewed from a money
standpoint. The person who has
good education would not part
with it for any amount of money,
it is his life, a source of infinite
pleasure.
But for education to be of
money value every dollar spent
on education in a community
musPreturn a hundred cents plus
golden dividends. The following
argument is based on facts col
looted in Mr. Thomas E. Sanders
management and methods: It
is estimated that the average
wages of illiterate persons in the
United States is less than $800 a
year. Assuming the earning
period of a man’s life to be from
the time he is twenty until he is
sixty, or forty years, what is he
worth in money to his family or
to the state during his life time?
Evidently $12,000.
The average wages ot persons
having a common school educa
tion in the United States is esti
mated at $400 a year. His worth
therefore, in money from the
time he is twenty until he is
sixty is $16,000. He earns for
his family and the state $4,000
more thangthe man who is unable
to read and write. What makes
the difference? Six year’s
schooling of nine months each, or
fifty-four months. What is it
worth a month for a boy to be in
school? Nearly eighty dollars a
month, four dollars a day!
The average earning power of
a high-school graduate in the
United States is $600 a year.
The money value of a graduate
of a high school, therefore, is
$24,000 for forty years’ service;
an increase of $8,000 over those
with a common school education.
What makes the difference?
four years’ study of nine months
each, count it forty months for
good measure, it is worth $200
a month or $10 a day to be iu
the high school.
To carry this a little further,
the average earning power of the
graduates of standard colleges
and universities in the United
States is $1,000 a year, or $40,000
for forty years of one’s aotive
life. This is an increase of $16,-
000 over the high school gradu
ate. What makes the difference?
Less than forty month’s study,
which is worth to the average boy
in money $400 per month or $20
per day to be in college; and yet
how money will turn from the
university forever for a forty-
dollar-a-month job!
Study these figures and educate
your children and they will prove
to you that they are true. Do
you think that you could employ
one of the four boys who gradu
ated in our high school and are
now attending college for $40 a
month when he has finished his
course? Nay, one of them turn
ed down two sixty dollar jobs to
finish the high school. Still some
of our people keep their children
at home to run errands and mind
the chickens when they do not
earn twenty five cents a day, and
robbing their children of an edu
cation. Others think they ought
to attend a show every
week, or a shooting matoh, or a
rooster fight to make them game.
Keep your children in school
unless they are sick and do not
waste your money by sending
two days out of a week.

Plain Talks on Fertilizers
How to Get the Greatest Possible Yield per Acre
.fit is a well-known
scientific fact that in
order to produce the
very greatest possible
yield from any soil it
must contain an actuql
excess over and above
all demands that can
possibly be made on it
by the plants.
Many farmers will feed their
stock as much nourishing food
as they can possibly assimi
late, yet will starve their crops
on the mistaken notion that
they are “economizing" on fer
tilizer. Thp experiences of
fanners, government experts,
and agricultur
alists every
where confirm
the fact that
plants, like ani
mals, need the
fullest possible
amount of nour
ishment that
they can obtain
if they arc to be
developed to the utmost.
The economy in fertilizers
is not in the amount used but
in the ratio of quality to cost.
Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers
are the best in the
world for the least
money. More than
one million tons were
sold to Southern farm
ers last year; and every
year the demand be
comes greater.
The best results in
producing corn, the
good old stand-by crop
of the South, follow the
application of 200 to
300 pounds of the right
fertilizer. Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers will greatly “in
crease your yields per acre"
of corn or any other crop, even
on poor land—and the most
wonderful results are produced
through its use on good land.
