STAY WITH THE SCHOOL
The value of staying at school
is stated in dollars and cents in
figures compiled by the bureau of
education and now being distributed
to boys and girls throughout the
country by the children’s bureau.
From a study of a large number
of actual cases it has been found
that at 25 years of age the boy who
remained in school until he was 18
had received $2,000 more salary
than the boy who left school at 14,
and that the better educated youth
was then receiving more than $900
a year more in pay.
“This is equivalent to an invest
ment of $18,000, at 5 per cent,”
the statement said. “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 earn
ings of the boy who Jeft school at
14 will increase but little.”
“While wages have increased with
the war, the proportions shown in a
table of weekly earnings still hold
true, the statement said. The boy
who left school at 14 at the time
of investigation was made received
an average of $4 a week, his wages
increasing each year to $7 a week
at 18. The boy who remained in
school until he was 18 began work
at $10 a week. At 20 the salaries
were S9.n0 a week for the boy who
left school early and $15 for h's
better trained competitor. At 25
they were earning $12.75 and $31
respectively, and total wages up to
that time had been $5,112.50 and
$7,337.50, so that the boy who re
mained in school had earned nearly
60 per cent more in eight years
than the other lad in 12 years.
“Children should stay in school
as long as possible because educa
tion means better jobs,” the child
ren’s bureau urges. “Boys and girls
who go to work at the end of gram
mar school rarely get good jobs.
They work they lind to do is usually
unskilled; it offers little training
or chance for advancement. 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 work that offers
a high wage for a beginner. But
these wages seldom grow because
the work requires no training.
“A position with a future and
steady increasing wages requires
school training.
“Does it pay to continue youi
studies? Education means a suc
cessful and useful life; it pays the
individual. Education means effi
cient workers; it pays the nation.
Show this to your parents and ask
them what they think about it.
Stay in school!”
SAVING DAYLIGHT.
The daylight saving plan, which
was instrumental during the war in
effecting the saving of vast quan
tities of fuel throughout the world,
appears to be regarded with less
favor in this country, now that the
war is over, than in England, where
the plan has been found so bene
ficial as to create a demand for its
permanent adoption. In our own
country there is a movement on
foot, among members of Congress,
to repeal the law which made the
saving of fuel possible without caus
ing inconvenience to consumers,
notwithstanding the fact that every
! utilitarian argument which applied
I during the war is equally valid now.
What reasons our congressmen have
for desiring the repeal of the law
. we have not yet been informed, but
whatever the reason given, the re
; -ult of a repeal would be added
j cost to living throughout the States
j in increased fuel and light bills.
It will be hard to convince Alas
bans that the plan lacks merit in
! peace as well as war time. The
' plan was adopted in Alaska years
i before the European war started,
j and has met with such success that
| it may be said to be almost a fixed
! feature of life in the North.
There is a difference between
daylight saving in the North and
i daylight saving in the States, how
I ever. The season of the year for
: saving, as prescribed by Congress,
| is not suitable for saving in Alas
ika. As in many other matters af
j fecting Alaska, the regulation of
hours of daylight should be left to
those who are familiar with condi
tions. And for that reason Alas
kans will not offer opposition to
i the proposed repeal of the law now
j regulating time in the States. Such
ja law is not needed in this country,
j especially one that does not con
form to our climatic conditions. Of
! what benefit to Alaska, we would
i like to know, is a law which sets
the clocks ahead when our hours of
daylight are greatly in excess of
the hours of darkness, and turns
them back when the conditions are
reversed? Where is the saving
now, for instance, with the sun visi
ble for approximately twenty hours,
and no darkness at all?
| The federal statute, as it now
! stands, is of no help to Alaska, but
the plan is helpful to the States
and should not be abandoned to
satisfy the whim of some congress
man. The inconvenience which day
light saving will cause to a few
should not be allow'ed to interfere
j with the real benefit which it brings
to the many.
The plan of the signal corps to
erect a wireless station in Interior
Alaska, which will make possible
the abandonment of the antiquated
military cable upon which Northern
ers have been compelled to to d
pend for Outside communication
during the past many years, will
' meet with hearty approval in the
North, where frequent interruptions
1 to the cable service have been a
source of great annoyance and
needless expense to the public,
i An auxiliary cable to relieve the
strain upon the present cable and
to insure uninterrupted communica
tion with the States, has been ad
vocated for a number of years, but
the installation of powerful wire
less stations will be a better solu
tion of the problerq, insuring great
j er efficiency in service and reduced
j maintenance costs, a combination
| which should speed the work to
! early completion, i
