WHAT 
_ At this season of year when every- 
body is busy all along the North Shore, 
and there is plenty of work for young 
and old alike, parents are very apt to let 
their boys leave school. The following 
article, which recently appeared in an 
educational publication, ought to make 
food for thought for all parents. ‘The 
article was taken originally from a recent 
report of the State Superintendent of 
Education in Pennsylvania. He is 
anxious that the figures he submits be 
carefully considered by all boys and their 
parents. 
** What is a boy worth? What is an 
education worth? An Indiana jury 
awarded $599.99 for the killing of a boy. 
A friend of mine, who is superintendent 
in West Virginia, called that award an 
outrage. | asked him why. He 
answered: ‘To say nothing of the 
value of the boy’s personality and all 
that a boy is to his father and mother and 
home, the commercial value of a boy’s 
time at school is more than the award of 
that Indiana jury.’ I asked him how he 
made the calculation. He said: ‘You 
find the value of a boy’s time at school

by subtracting the earnings of a life of 
uneducated labor from the earnings 
of a life of educated labor.’ “Then 
he gave me a calculation that I have used 
this year before every institute, for | am 
anxious to get it into the daily papers, to 
have it carried to every schoolroom and 
put upon every blackboard, so that the 
pupils may carry it home and discuss it 
with their parents. 
‘* He said: ‘If an uneducated man 
earns $1.50 a day for 300 days in a year, 
he does very well; and if he keeps it up 
for 40 years, he will earn $1.50x300x40, 
or $18,000. An educated man is not 
generally paid by the day, but by the 
month and by the year. If you will 
strike an average of the earnings of edu- 
cated men, beginning with the President 
of the United States, who earns $50,000 
a year, the presidents of the insurance 
companies and of large railroad com- 
panies, and run down the scale until you

Centre Aisle--and inspect our Gibson 
earnings among educated men, you will 
admit that $1000 a year is a low average 
for the earnings of educated labor. For 
40 years you have $40,000 as the earn- 
ings of an educated man. Subtract 
$18,000 from $40,000 and the difference, 
or $22,000, must represent the value of 
a boy’s time spent at school getting an 
education.’ 
“*Now, if $22,000 represents the value 
of time a boy spends at school getting an 
education, what is the value of a day 
spent at school? 
The average school life of every 
boy and girl in Massachusetts is seven 
years of 200 days each; let us say that it 
takes four more to get a good education. 
Reckoning 11 years of 200 days each, 
you will find that the 2200 days at school 
are equal to $22,000, and a_ simple 
division on the blackboard will bring it 
home to the comprehension of every 
boy that each day at school, properly 
spent, must be worth $10.”’
