Thla la tha aeaaon of the year when many a boy begins to look with dread upon his books, studies and tha con finement or tha school room. That Is a story aa old at tha history ol education, tor nearly any normal, healthy boy would rather be out In the woods, fishing along the river or swimming "in the ole swimmin' hole" than sitting stupidly Inactive In a close school room. All this Is natural and Inevitable and it only re mains for the kindly encouragement of teacher and parent to keep the ac tive American boy on the right track. In Germany the stern schoolmaster sees to it that all ara present and there Isn't halt the fun in German schools that the American boy en joys. But that isn't the point Just here Every spring a number of youths completing the eighth grade or high school get It Into their heads that they have gone far enough, and with tha first sfga of a whisker the Idea begins to seep In that any additional effort spent In school la a waste of timet and money. Why should they be In school, they think, when Jobs paying two and three dollars a day, mora or less, are beckoning them? Wa have seen that force to be mora compelling In taking boys from their studies than the necessity of helping to provide a livelihood for a large family or tor a widowed moth er. There Is generally some way out if the right kind of stuff la back In the boy's bead. (Seldom does the boy under 1 8 rea Hie what a superior advantage the educated man has In this world over the entrained brain. Most of them, like the slesta-tndolgtng Mexican, dreams nnder his banana tree where his father makes the living and lets today take care of Itself with never a worry about the fnture. Never was a better Illustration afforded of the value of a colleire or hlsh school tralnln? than Is at hand rl?ht now where hundreds and thousands of college graduates are being soneht by the government at salaries rang ing from fl.200 to $10,000 a year to take charge of Important work in connection with the war. Men with an accredited hlsh school diploma are In demand at salaries as high as I8.BO0 a year. But they must he trained, efficient men. and many a waster has been heard to make the remark that "if I had enough education I would try for one of those Jobs."

Their school days are over and but very few can ever pick up from where they left off and catch up with their wiser brethern. It is the sad lesson that they learn too late. Aside from the fact that every day spent In school Is valued at some thing like $11 up to the time of fin ishing high school, and more than that for a college degree, the getting of an education ta worth the effort from the standpoint of the added enjoyments that one gets out of life. To the boy who Is about to commit homicide to a future auecessful ca reer by cutting his education off at the pockets, a word of caution Is given. A decision now may mean the difference between a $1,000 Job and a $5,000 Job at 40 years of age. If yon buy out of town and I buy out of town and we buy out of town and they bay out of town, who in the deuce la left to buy In town? Don't, worry, leave It to Foch.
