EACH BIT OF LEARNING
HELPS THE POCKETBOOK
Nevertheless, one does now and
then get It said In an oblique manner,
as the Department of Agriculture did]
ir. a recent bulletin entitled, Does Eda.
cation Pay the Farmer? Wherein It
set forth In the simplest possible way
tho results of a surrey made on a
cross section..of the wholfe country.
This bulLetinsald:
It was found In Texas that every
day spent by a child in school might
be considered worth nine dollars. This
estimate was arrived at by taking
120,000 as the total earnings of an un
educated laborer over a forty-year
period and *40,000 as the total earn-:
Ings of a high-school graduate who
had spent twelre school years of ap.
pioxlmately 180 days each in acqulr.
lng training. The gain In wages, $20,
000, due to these 2160 days of school
represents a value of about $9.25 a
day during the period of the schooling.
The average net earnings of Georgia
farmers without any Schooling were
| found to average $240, while those
who had common-school education
earned $565.50, high-school graduates
$064. 50, and those who had completed
\ ? ,#
an agricultural-college course earned
$1264. Those who had taken only aj
short course earned $895.95, or almost]
tour times as much as those with no |
education at all.
| In Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Kan.'
sas> the surveys showed again that
the best training made the largest
Incomes In both the owner and tenant
groups. In Missouri the hetter.edu-'
cated men own four-flfths of the land,
they operate, keep more livestock,'
br.ndle more crops with each work-|
man employed and do about one-fifth
more business. An interesting fact]
brought out by the Wisconsin survey
|was that the farmers with blgh.school
education acquired the Ownership of'
,their farms In. about seven years,'
!while It took ten years for those with
only a common-school education to
'acquire a clear title. Among those In
any given capital group, tbe high-'
school graduate at any age was making
more than the common-school farmer
several years older with the same
amount ot capital Invested. Without
exception, every study shows that the
man with the greater training enjoys
the greater prosperity.
