THE BROWNIE CONSTITU
TION
(Another Paul Breaks Into Print)
Mr. Louis F. Paul,
Dear Lou:
Although clear old noisy Will is
now the famous lawyer of the fam
ily, I somehow always think of you
as the Constitution-maker. That's
because of your conspicuous and ad
mirable share in the development of
the Brotherhood. Wherefore, I be
lieve you will be interested in the
enclosed copy of a constitution draft
ed and adopted by a gang of boys,
8 to 10 years of age, from East Side
New York. They are one of about
a hundred similar societies fostered
and housed by the Henry St. Settle
ment. The lads in this Brownie so
ciety are mostly sons of immigrant
Jews. This constitution is their
first taste of self-government. Their
spirit is fine; their execution, crude
now. will someday he finished to
the last detail, and they will be a
force to be considered by the very
strongest. It’s the same old story:
“Mould a child and make a man.”
I am following with lively interest
everything Will is doing to insure
the constitutional rights of our na
tives, and the indications are that
he is doing mighty good work; just
the same, I have a very deep-laid
feeling that in the end, it will be
your kind of work—teaching, lead
ing, demonstrating mental, moral,
constitutional values to the young—
that will count most in the march
of our people to competent Christian
citizenship. Be that as it may, the
enclosure struck me as both am ’s
ing and instructive, and I thought
you might be interested in seeing it
too
As ever,
(Signed) S. KENDALL PAUL.

No Backtalks—after a calldown
Nobody is by the door except the

table.
If the treasurer can’t add he can
get impeached.

WHAT AN EDUCATION
PUTS IN PAY ENVELOPE
OF THE AVERAGE MAN
What a four-year high school
course, college or technical training
course means in the pay envelope
of the average man has been made
the subject of a recent study by
Dean Everett W. Lord of the Col
lege of Business Administration of
Boston University.
He finds that $33,000 is the aver
age cash value of four years in
high school, and $72,000 the cash
value of a college or technical edu
cation
The untrained man, states Dean
Lord, begins work at 14, reaches his
maximum income at 30, receiving
on the average less than $1,200 a
year, and has earned by the time
he is 60 about $45,000. During the
four years that would have given
him a high school education he earns
not more than $2,000.
The high-school graduate goes to
work at 18, rises to his maximum
income of $2,200 a year at 40, an l
has earned by the time he is 60
about $78,000. His four years in
high school, at an immediate loss ol'
$2,000 in earnings, has increased his
total earnings by $33,000.
The college or technical trained
man begins work at 22, rises to his
income of $2,200 a year at 40, and
maximum of $6,000 at 60, and earns
in all about $150,000.
