Webber, one of our best scientists and head of the Cornell college of agriculture in New York, tells of the money value of education to the farmer. A Cornell man visited many farms and secured from 573 men accurate data of the farmer’s income from his own labor, deducting all expenses and 5, per cent interest on capital invested from the gross receipts. Besides this he allowed for depreciation in tools, etc. He found that 398 farmers who had attended only the district schools had an average labor income of $3lB annually, while 165 who had atended high school had an income of $622 and 10 college men had an income of SB4B. In every group the men having the highest education made the best use of their capital. There is an increase of $304 per year in the labor income of those men who had attended high schools; that is, a high school education is worth more than $6,000 in five per cent tymds.
