TflT-RSPAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1914 (One Day Nearer Victory) THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER Thinks lie s Smart, Quitting School O O 0 ! School Starts Monday, Sept. 25th at 9:30 Enroll the first day, and at tend every day. But Boy, Is HE a DOPE 1 55 A 1 r JOE thinks he's a pretty smart cookie. No more high school for him . . . no sir! Studying and homework are just "from corn" in these times with so much dough to be made on almost any job. Joe is going to show these stick-in-the-muds back in school that he can draw a man's pay. Why, gee whiz, he may even be able to earn as much as his dad! But one of these days Joe is going to wake up and find that he's not so smart after all. Finishing his high school is just about the best thing a fellow can do nowadays. If you don't believe it, look at the number of boys who went to class all summer. The really smart fellow gets as much education as he can before he is called into service. He knows it will help his advancement in the Army or Navy. He knows, too, that when the war is over and times change, his chances of getting a good paying job and keeping it are a lot better if he has a high school diploma tucked away in his bureau drawer. The U. S. Government is not mincing any words about it. It says that every boy should get as much education as he possibly can before going into service or war work. And that goes for girls, too! It's a big temptation to leave school to make a lot of easy money. But the boy or girl who does quit at sixteen or seventeen years old is going to regret it later when it's too late to do anything about it. For experts say that the last year or two of high school often makes the tremendous difference between a man or woman trained for success and just another also-ran. The post-war world will be looking for trained and educated men and women. There will be opportunity a-plenty for them. Will you be ready for opportunity? You will if you get every bit of schooling now that you possibly can. This Message Brought By The Following Public-Spirited Firms and Individuals Unagusta Manufacturing Corp.
