/i COLLEGE EDUCATION — HOW TO GET IT Hard Work and Seif dsnial Will Car ry One Through School, Stye Lad Who Tried It By A. H. HASTY For the fellow who .sets his aim to go through college there is always a way, no matter what his financial standing may he. Many timed a boy thinks he cannot, go to college be cause he hadn’t the money, while if he only knew it he could work out a j;lan whereby he would he enabled to got through and get far greater ben efit* from it than the average follow who ha s ail the money he needs. The above statement 2a made after a personal experience along the same line. In 1914 my chances of getting through college were as few as al 7u ost any boy in the state, hut alter 10 years of courageous effort J buvt been able to compute two years m high school and five in college with only $lOO outside aid, which came from my father. On the first of October 1014 l left home for high school at, Tiilon (Georgia) A. & M. and was ab;e to .enter junior class in that school. By working all my .-pare time I was ab'e to get through with only $lOO aid from home that yea*. The summer following this I worked on the school farm at $2O per month and board and in the fall I was given a job as dormitory inspector which paid my room rent and board for the year. It wa.s necessary for me to borrow about $lOO that year for clothing arid other necessities, hut this was repaid after graduation. This last year in high school was my Irst full nine months school to be able to attend, only one other being more than lve months. • Iff! After fini hing high school I was fortunate enough to get a place as superintendent of the school farm for a period of tw r o years at. a salary of $5O per month and board. This of course was a good price at the beginning, in 191 (>, but prices soon became so high that on an average it was only a mediocre salary. The experience of working a 125-acre farm with school boys only was worth a world toward gaining an education. In February, 1917, 1 was working in the wood shop and an emery wheel wheel exploded and one quarter of Conserve Your EtsergF in Summer Youcan, literally, get'Vecreation * —be"madeovcr ’ again, when your physical self is rested, your energy and your strength conserved by the use ot this Ford Runabout.

The Kurd dea*er n your tutitlhlportiood will f.iadty explain both ptuns i ndetaii it hit me breaking my left arm and cutting a large gash in my side. This accident kept me in bed fix weeks and away from work about three months. In this case the doctor’s bill cost me about S2OO, but I was fortunate in being able to draw my pay just the same. One month btfore my two years time was out with the school, I joint and the Army and spent five months in service at a salary of $39 per month, but about $6 of this each month went to insurance, leaving me with only about $24 per month, out of which I was able to save hut little. . In December, 1918, I was dis charged from the Army and took a job as clerk in the sausage depart ment with Swift & Company at Moul trie, Georgia, and worked there at an averagt salary of about SBO per month for eight month*}. It was nec essary for me to work until 10 or 11 o’clock at night several times in or der to get my pay up to this mark, as I was working on tbt hour bask. At the end of the eight months, or in September, 1919 I tntered the Georgia Stalt Colllege of Agriculutre with about SOSO that I had eavtd. My first year in coll eye cost a lit tle better than S4OO, due to high pricts and my lack of knowledge of how to spend money to the best ad vantage. At the close of my year 1 tried my hand at selling books and managed to sell about $1,200 worth, hut due to poor management and high delivering expenses along with a heavy railroad fare, I was only able to break even with the summer’s experience as my pay. This business can be made a paying one with proper management and hard work if' tiie location is carefully se lected . . During my sophomore year it was necesary for me to borrow about S3OO and by the end of that year it seemed that I would be compelled to drop out for a while at least, but at this time 1 wag offered a job as student assistant on the experiment plats mhieh are run in connection with the collegq. In order to get the job it was necessary for me to spread my junior and senior years over three years as about one third of my time was taken up by field work and the whole winners were spent in the field. With the job I have been able to bear my own expenses THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOR. OANIELSVILLE, GA and pay back all that I borrowed previous to that time. My total earnings for the 10-year period that I have been away from home are $4,700, and out of this I have managed to live fairly reason able and pay out for insurance SSOO and for doctor’s bill around S2OO. This left me $4,000 to pay my living expenses for 10 years and get thru college without having to live 0:1 the very closest economy. At first glance this may seem hard to undertake, but when 1 consider the experience and benefit I have de rived from it 1 do not feel that I have been so greatly handicapped after ad. There were times when it looked discouraging to see the other fellow have alii ME needed and me having to work, but when I realize how much easier it will te for me to take hold of work than if I had net been forced to it already. I do not feel discour aged. Also there are many places that I now see where I could have saved ar.d have gotten through with money ahead. Had I been physically fit for military service during my last two years I could have earned about $lO per month there and have had uniforms to wear which would have saved me possibly S3OO. Anoth er place that I coulld have saved about $4 per month for three years would have been by eating at the college dining hall' instead of at private boarding houses. Also if I had been pushed more I could have saved S2OO to S3OO that I spent in travel which wap not absolutely necessary. Of course these places are not open to everyone, but generally a fellow has an opportunity of making his way if he sets his aim and stick to it. There are always a few jobs in the dining halls, around some of the buildings or some place in town for the fellow who really w’ante them. Had I known to begin with what 1 was to do, it would have been much easier, but I did not at first start wfith the aim of going thru col lege . . To the fellow r who really wants to go through college regardless of his financial standing, I say there is a g’ood chance. The main thing is to set his aim and stick to it through the hard times a.? well .'Us the easy. No boy could have much less oppor tunity than I had and than hundreds of others that I have met with since coming to college.
