eg 'R TO THE TRAVELERS OF THE S. S. METUCHEN: Bon Voyage and a most pro- vocative trip it should bel This school has been your snug harbor for some few years. The berth has been essentially a very easy one.

The average elementary school graduate in a lifetime will earn Sll6,000g the average graduate of a high school in a lifetime will earn 3S165,000g the average graduate of a college in a lifetime will earn S268,000. A college education on the average costs S9,000. .. compare it with returns. What do you think? May your trip be a pleasant one, a profitable one, a socially-sensitive one.
