Educational Insurance.
Life Insurance can be utilized in
a form to provide ftmds for the edu
cation of children. By affording a
safe, easy plan of financing, life In
surance in this manner aids fami
lies In preparing their children to
cope with biislnefts conditions which
have become Increasingly competi
tive In rrcrnt years.
According to a study made several
years ago. the following conclusions
hare been drawn from "Who's Who
In America" coiicernlii; distinguished
men of America and their educa
tions! backgrounds: Of 5 000.000 with
no schooling, only 31 attained dis
tinction. With elementary schooling.
808 out nf 33.000.000 attained dis
tinction. Out of 2.000.000 with high
school educations. 1345 attained dis
tinction. With college educations,
out of 1.000.000. f7fl8 attained dis
tinction. Thee figures demonstrate
that the child with no schooling
has one chance In ISO .000 of per
forming distinguished service. An
elementary education gives mm tour
time thAt chance. With a hign
school education he has 87 times
the chance. With a college edwa

Since hla Income Is largely dependent
upon brawn rather than brain. It
falls off at the age of 80 or enrller,
to s level below that of self-support.
Tills man's life earnings amount to
approximately $45,000. Not more
than 2000 of this was earned during
the four years that would have given
him a high school education.
The high school graduate goes to
work at the age of 18. passes the
maximum of approximately $2200 a
year at the age of 40 and continues
on that level for the remainder of
his active life. Hla life earnings
amount to about $78,000 between the
ages of IB and AO. A trained man
with a high school education earns
$33,000 more than the man with

aside from his life Insurance. If any,
to meet family living expenses, taxi,
etc.. Is Indicated by figures gathered
several years nro by the federal trade
commission When It van making a
survey of our national wealth.
The records of the probate courts
of J4 "sample" ronntlr throuehout
the United States were searched to
se Just what the average individual
leaves to his heirs, the records cov
ering a period of twelve years. The
Investigators found that while 43, M2
estates were recorded, there were
abotit 141.466 estates In these coun
ties worth s? little that they were
not even probated . These estates,
comprising 70.5 per cent of the total
examined, had an arerage value of
only $258.
A study of the estates probated re
veals that 11 persons out of 100 be
queath to their heirs less than $500;
ten leave from $500 to $1000; twenty
from $1000 to $2500; and eighteen
from $2500 to $5000: about fifteen
out of one hundred will leave es
tates valued from $5000 to $10,000;
another fifteen will leave from $10,
000 to $25,000, and between five and
six will leave estates from $25,000 to
$50,000.
The study Indicated that about
one per cent of the estimated num
ber of descendents owned about 80
per cent of the estimated wealth.
More than 60 per cent of the wealth
was owned by about 13 per cent of
the descendents. The average value
for all estates was $3800 but nine
out of every ten had estates amount
ing to less than this figure. The
estates of the very wealthy brought
the average up to this level.
