1 THE INDEPENDENT DIPLOMA DIVIDENDS Again the day of high school commencement approaches and a new army of youth steps out into the world with a ribbon-bound diploma in one hand and a world-wide gesture in the other. The facts of the matter are that these young folks are going to change the world greatly in spite of the traditional laugh from the smart Alecks as to their intentions along that line. Here are a few facts, based on careful surveys as to the cash value of education —common school, high school and college: A high school education is worth twics as much as a common school education; according to a survey in Tomkins county, New York, and a college education is worth two and a half times as much as the district school course and a third more than the high school. Texas figures that every day spent at school is worth $9, a high IBChool graduate's earnings being compared to an uneducated laborer’s to get the value of schooling. Georgia. Illinois, lowa, Indiana, Kansas and Wisconsin surveys showed similar trends. A high school education permitted farmers to own their farms three years sooner than those farmers with only common school education, it was found in the latter state. More and more emphasis is being put on education, and more boys and girl? are going through high schools before taking up their life work The trend continues on up into the colleges, and. especially in the science and engineering courses, is attracting an increasing percentage of the ambitious forward-think-ing youth of the land. Less hand ■ and back labor and more brain l manauoment of machinery |? the <• ' order of the day. I These voting folks who are step » ' ping up from hlch school to college । and our business and commercial ; world deserve our highest respect ' j and at least an effort on our part to । ! understand their viewpoint. They , ate starting with a great deal bettor enuipment than out narents. Some L will fail, perhaps, but the average ; will raise the average of this com munitv If wo can furnish them suffi- ( cient opportunity for advancement. A LITTLE TALK ON TH RI Fl By S. W. Straus. The accumulation of money through source^ that are sound and ! safe may seem a glow process to many but no tale of great luck is ■ more amazing that the actual out-1 come of systematic saving and in- , vestment. A little over 301 years ago Peter Minuet purchased Manhattan Island from the Indians for trinkets and baubles said to have had a value of about $24. This tale, as often ha- 1 been charged, may bo legendary, j But there is no legend about the ' i fact that if the sum mentioned had j been invested at 6 percent interest .compounded semi-annually. t h e amount today would »e approximate- , ly $1,000,000,000. The entire wealth of the United. , I States, which is estimated at mon than $325,000,000,000. is no greater than the sum which would have resulted from the investment of $6,500 ( three hundred years ago with inter- I est compounded s -nii-annuany at b K percent. In a certain New England city - there recently was received for de i posit at a savings bank a check for j S7O with the stipulation that it was; to be left untouched until the year 2224 when, at the bank’s current ( interest rates, it will have amounted . to $11,090,000. These figures are not of practical . value. In the first place they are | incomprehensible; in the second place I the individual is only interested in what thrift and scientific investment will bring to him But they serve the purpose of showing that through ' Hie slow, steady process of invest-I mnt and re-investment, amazing results c: n be obtained While there I are fantastic stories being told of the j accumulation of wealth as if b’ - nm-'c. these instances are exceeding- j ly rare. Thrift is not only the road to comfort to a competence in old age—- । to absence from worry- it is the • n'v saf., and dependable road to. real wealth. I ( ’LEAN UP THE TOWN An inspection of our town warrants the injunction or the admonition, rather, that some concerted efforts should be made to clean up the town. No obstructions should be allowed along the sidewalks for they look bad to visitors. A community is judged by its outward appearances, as well as its citizenry, so if unsightly boxes, barrels, ice cream tubs, street markers, junk of all kinds and piles of ashes infest a community's thorofares, they should be cleaned up. Our town can stand considerable of this and it should be done without the asking, for we have only the appearance of the town to invite the critical eye of transients. +„< , — - Hired Man Making * More Than Farmer | Farmers who have recently started 'Lu keep records were startled to ■ find that they paid the hired man । more during the year than they’ , made themselves, according to UniI versif y of Illinois investigators. Reports this spring from many sections of the country are to the effect that farm help is scarce. There *are plenty of unemployed men avail- ' able, but they .ire unwilling to go to the farms for rhe wages that the farmers offer and are able to pay. As a result of difficulty in securing competent labor during the last year or two and with no prospect of any immediate change in the sitva tion, many farmers are equipping I themselves with labor-saving machinery. which helps the situation somewhat. — Broken by Vibration A thin glass vessel can be broken by the vibrations of a musical note when the pitch is exactly right.
