WHY GET AN EDUC ATJON ? Ever since the founding of William and Mary, in the 16th century, schools and colleges have been increasing, until today the United States has schools everywhere within its boundaries, even in the remote rural districts, to give to the children an education that they need to make a suc- cessful livelihood for themselves and their families when they have reached maturity. An education today means much more to the child than it did to its parents, for today few important positions go to men and women who have not at least a high school education. It pays in dollars and cents, and in many other ways to re- ceive an education. If one leaves school before he graduates, he is shut out from all professions, before he even begins. He can only work with his hands and feet receiving little compensa- tion for the rest of his life. A girl or boy may leave school, when the law permits, and go to work in a dime store or be a Usoda jerkeru. Both of these positions are good for a summer's vacation but not for a livelihood. Not only do professional positions require training but also farming. Small time farming is almost of the past. Today workers have gone to the city and the farmer is come pelled to use labor-saving machines. He must know how to operate and repair these, for which he will need training. The natural fertility has been taken from the land, and it must be replaced expertly if anything is to thrive abundant- ly. Because farming has changed to scientific and mechan- ical farming, agricultural courses are offered to boys. There are, of course, geniuses who did not receive training in special schools, such asz' Edison, Lincoln, Ford, Franklin and Hetty Green. All of these are outstand- ing in their field, ye , hey taught themselves. They took the hard road and succ eded, but many others have tried it and failed. They were the exceptions, but we, not being geniuses, should go to school to get education. An educated person is well able to acquire many friends while an uneducatc person has little chance to broaden his small circle of ac uadntances. f Thus, with an education of the right sort, you will be able to make a place in the world for yourselfg without it you are lost.
