How a high school course will increase your earning capacity 
 
 This table (prepared by the United States Bureau of Education) compares 
 the wages of a group of children who left school at 14 years of age with another 
 group who left at 18 years of age. 
 
 Earnings per week of Earnings per week of

 At 25 years of age the boy who had remained in school until 18 had received 
 over $2,000 more salary than the boy who left at 14, and was then receiving over 
 $900 a year more. 
 
 This is equivalent to an investment of $18,000 at 5 per cent. Can a boy in- 
 crease his capital as fast in any other way? 
 
 From this time on the salary of the better educated boy will rise still more 
 rapidly, while the earnings of the boy who left school at 14 will increase but little. 
 
 Although the wages paid now are much higher than when this study was 
 made, the comparison remains .the same.
