W t TO MB Value of a High School Education A lligh School course is one of the most valuable assets with wlu h to enter the world. No other thing can take the place of a lligh School training, one might almost say that such :1 training is a prerequisite to success. 'l'he fundamental purpose of a High School is to turn out a thorough all-round person who is able to cope with the problems of the world.
