WASHINGTON. May Jf»— The val
.i* of staying at school is stated in
dollars and cents in figures compile 1
hv the Bureau of Education and now
being distributed to boys and girls
throughout the country by tile C b.iu
ron’s Bureau.
Kro:n a study of a largo number of
actual cases it has been found that at
\ ears of age the boy who remained

in school until he was IX had received
$2,000 mote salary than tin* boy who
left school at 14 and that the bettv
educated youth was then receiving
more than'$000 a year more in pay.
“This is equivalent to an invest
ment of $IX,000 . at 5 percent.” the
statement said. “ Can a hoy inert*a*'*
his capital that fast any other way?”
“From this time on the salary of
th* better educated hoy will, list* stul
more rapidly, while tin* earnings ol
th hoy who left school at 14* will in
ert ase but little.”
While wages have increased with
'li war, the proportions shown in a
table of week y earnings still hold true
the statement aid. The boy who left
school at 14 at the time the investi
gation was made received an average
of $4 a week, his wages increasing
ra< h year to $7 a week at IS. 1 ho boy
who remained in school until he was
IS began work at $10 a week. At 2*'
tin salaries were $0.50 a week for the
boy who left school early and $15 fo»'
hi: 1* ttcr trained competitor. At 2->
they wine earning $12.75 and $21 rc
sjm tively, and total wages up to that
tin e had been $5,112.50 and $7,22 i.nO,
so .hat the boy who remained in school
had earned nearly 50 percent more in
e’ght years than the other lad in 12
years.
“Child*on should stay in school as
long as possible because education
m* ms bett u jobs,” the Children ■>
It...van urges. “Hoys and girls who g>
to work at the end of grammar school
jjrely get good jobs. The work they
fir. l to do is usually unskilled; it of
fers little training or chance for ad
vancement. When they are older they
find they are still untrained for the
skilled work which offers a future.
Education means higher wages.
“Many boys and girls when they
leave school find wovk thill offers a
high wage for a beginner. Hut those
wages seldom grow because the work
requires no training.
“A position with a future and
steadily increasing wages requires
school training.
‘ Does it pay to continue your stud
ies? Kducation means a successful and
useful life; it pays the individual. Ed
ucation means efficient workers; it
pays the nation. Show this to your
parents and ask them what they think
about it. Stay in school.”

FACTS ABOUT SEWAkD
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway of
t!*e coast line of the Gulf ot Alaska and H>0 miles flora
re nte of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and (rails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much as if
nature had anticipated the need ot a gateway thiough
which the trade and travel of -a great region might find
<• nvenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which
any ship that floats may sail in safety at any' time, and
w nich in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
ful inland lake.
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topography lor the building ot a city
ol whatever extent future needs may develop; and this ch
ci instance, added to its natural position as a gateway to
ti e interior, and the freedom from ice at all seasons ot the
hi.rbor and adjacent waters lead the government to select
t! is port as the ocean terminal for the railroad. The un
limited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
i >w through this port to enter the commerce of the world,
aid in return will conic the supplies for distribution over
a territory greater in extent than many state combined,
(pus making it the great port of the North Pacific or the
>,' EW YORK OF ALASKA. .

surrounding this city, write to the
