What Are Your Brains Worth? In normal times and under normc". conditions, the av^-agc uneducated working girl earns $400.00 a year- The average educated girl, tinishe>. with the proper training, earns $1200 t vear. Considering then that the average business woman has a career of sev- CT years, she has increased her eam- "•^"e car-acitv to the extent of $5000 at least. This is not counting m- ie-o^t on the surplus. When you consider that our aver- tige student completes a Sec^tariai Course in 150 days actual attendance she receives a cash dividend of $^": per day, every day she has spent in school. These might not be exsH figures, but we believe that every dav a stud- ent has spent in Our College will pay her « dividend of at least $40 per day. Worth making a saci'- •'cc for. isn't it? And the sacri- fice once made will not have to bo made asrain, because the in-ome wi'l ?row bigger every day from that til"" on.
