Board of Education CECIL E. DAY Director of the Hoard—Served since 1927 MRS. RUTH B. HUGHES Clerk of the Board—Served since 1921 LOUIS BLEGAN Treasurer of the Board Served since 1916 Education W hat has the depression done to our ideas of education? Has the inability of High School and College graduates to obtain positions during this time of stress caused us to wonder if education really pays ? Are we discouraged when we see thousands of college bred men and women either without jobs altogether or else working side by side, for low wages, at manual labor with those who have little or no education, and often find preference given to the latter be- cause perhaps they can display more brawn? It is .ine in theory to laud education and art for arts sake, especially in times of prosperity, but the children of the educated man must eat during depression years as well as the laboring man's child, and education must show a practical side as well as the cultural side. Is it doing so today? W ithiii the last year several million people have been absorbed back into industry. Who are they? Has the percentage of re-em- ployment of those with education been higher or lower than those without education? Investigation shows that those who, because of their high school or college education, are best able to produce capable and efficient work are the ones who are being taken into industry at this time. This means that education does pay because it trains both the mind and the body, and the man who has had this kind of training is the practical man who comes out on top, even in these uncertain times, and in this era of specialization.
