perhaps clerk, in the case of a woman, as a saleswoman or dress- maker. A man with a high school education does Well as a business man or as an apprentice to skilled labor. ln the case of a woman, the chances are for a good stenographer or busi- ness woman. The college or university graduate, however, may choose almost any kind of work. Professional courses graduate physi- cians and lawyers. There are a number of courses fitting teachers for special work. All kinds of expert engineering can be studied. A field is always open to the ambitious. The academic course fits for business and general work. Of course, there is always the well-worn argument of people who succeeded in life altho handicapped by lack of education, but it must be admitted that each and every self- made person has had his or her limitations caused mainly by the lack of school training. Again some people may become discouraged because they have not acheived wonders during their high school courses, and consequently argue that a university course would only add four years more of study with no definite good resulting.

The writer I 'Y 1 l i' lip' f 'Ai H2547 of 'gil ' 31'-fi . 4 59:31 Sugar H G I ' of this article stated on good authority that a person with a common school education has about sixteen times the chance that a person of no education has, a person with a high school education about twenty-two times the chance of a person of no education, and that a person with a college or university education has about fifty-six times the chance of a person with no education. These figures may appear too large upon first consider- ation, but anyone can prove their accuracy by looking about him. ln nine cases out of ten, one will find the unschooled man or woman doing the real drudgery of life, digging in the ground or scrubbing for a living.
