TO THE POINT

. It was five minutes before noon. The mayor .and the State superintendent had spent an hour talking to the children in an Ohio school,' and just before the stroke of the gong the chairman of ,the local • school committee was called upon to follow them. ' Children,' he said, pointing toward the window, ' as you go out from the school in about two minutes, you will see a gang of men who are now shovelling cinders into a railway train. They are earning thirty-five dollars a month. ' Beside them is a timekeeper earning fifty-five dollars. ' At the head of the train is an engineer getting one hundred dollars, and over him is a superintendent getting two hundred. g 'What is the difference between those men? Education. Get all you can of it.'
