Why Will Johnny Earn More
In Life Than Will Larry?
Larry. 18, is from Clifton, lie will
earn just over $246,000 in his lifetime.
Johnny, 18, is from Dallas. He can expect
to earn more than *340,000 over his life-
time. ’
This vast difference in their expected
lifetime earning power — $94,009 — has
little to do with Johnny coming from a
big city and Larry coming from a small
town.
Johnny is a high school graduate. Larry
dropped out of school in the ninth grade.
That puts a 38 percent gap between the
lifetime earning expectations of tbe two.
A high school diploma is much more
than a piece of paper. It’s a key to greater
success. The further a person goes in
school, the wider becomes the gap sep-
arating him from those who drop out.
The graduate can expect better jobs—
more rewarding jobs with a future, that
lead toward a more satisfying life, with
many intangible social and cultural ad-
vantages.
The dropout, however, can look for-
ward to dreary, menial, low-paying jobs.
He can ex pec* tong periods of unemploy-
ment, often no jobs at all.
This year, 809,090 youngsters will
drop out of school. Many will join the
two million 18 to 21 year olds in the
labor force who have not graduated from
high school.
If this trend continues, our Nation will
have in th* work force by 1975 more
than 23 million persons over the age of
26 who lack a high school education. This
is an especially grim prospect in view of
the fact that tomorrow’s jobs will demand
an even higher measure of education and
skill.
Teachers and counselors should seek
out potential dropouts and encourage
them to continue their education. Lead-
ers of civic, business, church, fraternal,
and other organizations should also exert
whatever influence they can to impress
upon our young people the importance
of a good education. _____
If you know someone who is thinking j campus
of dropping out. help him stay in school. I semester
It’s the best investment any of us can j
make in cur'future.

Our committee also considered
the extension of the School Milk 1

wants to extend it but since thej
new Administration is reluctant j

our members felt that we should

matter off -until the 1st of April,
As I see it. that certainly gives
