\ Relation of Education
| 4* to Production 4*
t
/Iddrcss By Pi of. .1. H. Reynolds Before State Ceaebers’ /Issoeiation
(Continued from last week.)
la our own South-land is anoth
er striking illustration of the truth
of the power of brain in produc
tion. Who owns the wealth of this
country i the white man or the
black man? Auditor Moore says
that this year the colored people
paid live per cent and the whites
ninety five per cent of our taxes.
Why is it that one-third of the
population owns only one-twen
tieth of the wealth of Arkansas?
Education, brain power, is the ;
answer.
SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURE.
In this connection the career of
Prof. Holden of Iowa is interest- i
ing. He was a country school
teacher in Michigan. He and his
pupils began to experiment in
raising corn, and by process of
selecting and fertilization they ex
celled the neighboring farmers.
An Illinois farmer with twelve
thousand acres hearing of it en
gaged him to take charge of his
farm. In one year he increased
the crop by one hundred thousand
bushels, or $50,Out) l’iie great
corn state of Iowa heard of him
and the university ottered him a
salary of $5,000 to teach agrono
my. The railroads placed a spec
ial car at his disposal in which he
traveled over the state and lector
ed on corn culture. In 1903 o-l as
a result of lus popular lectures the
corn crop of Iowa was increased
by 20,000,000, bushels, worth
$10,000,000. Ibis increase was
confined to the counties where he
lectured. The scientific informa
tion disseminated among the fann
ers of Illinois t>y the Agricultural
Experiment Station has increased j
the corn crop an average of ten •
bushels an acre in that state. A
few years ago, California found |
that the orange crop was being
ruined by an insect, the cottony
cushion scale. The state and fed
eral government spent several
hundred thousand dollars trying j
to discover a method of destroying i
the insect. Finally l)r. C. B. Ri
ley, of Washington, by experi
menting found a little insect in
Australia, the lady-bug, which
would destroy the scale. Lady
bugs were imported, scattered
among the orange groves of Cali
fornia and soon the scales disap
peared. The expenditure of a few
thousand dollars in the study of
this question is now yielding as
many millions a year in the in
creased orange crop of Cali
fornia. The introduction of the
Smyrna tig in California illustrates
the value of scientific knowledge!
in agriculture. Many vain at- j
tempts to grow the tig were made;
horticulturalists were engaged to
work on this problem; for years,!
their efforts were batlled, for the!
natives of Smyrna kept well the |
secret. Finally a student of the
problem found a wild tig tree in I
|Smyrna on which he discovered!
| an insect which fertilized the tig.
! This solved the problem. He I
! brought the tree to America, and
.with it the insect. Since then
California’s annual tig crop is him-,
i dreds of tons.
Last year Prof. W alker, 1 iorti
culturist at the University of Ark
|ansas, bought a run-down apple!
orchard near Fayetteville. He ex
perimented this year by fertiliz
ing and spraying. While all oth
!er orchards around failed, he gath
ered off of 21 acres MOO barrels of ;
apples, on which he is now realiz-1
ing S4.0U a barrel. Until recently
l In* prairie land about Lonoke was
supposed to be almost worthless
except for grazing. Two years
j ago the Experiment Station of the
University established a branch
station there and began experi
menting in rice culture. It has
been proven a success; the land is
yielding some seventy-live bushels!
to the acre; rice farms are being
opened and land values are rising.
True these are instances of expert
scientific knowledge; but before
advanced scientific institutions can
be strong they must be based up
on a strong popular scientific spir
it, which only good public schools
will develop. Moreover the peo
ple must be sufficiently well edu
cated that they can apply results
of scientific experiments.
EDUCATION CAPITALIZED.
A farm hand makes about $180
a year. At six per cent this rep
resents a capital of $-5,000. A
high school graduate earns $000,
which represents a capital of $10,
000; that is, $1,200 spent on his
elementary and high school educa
tion adds $7,000 to his capital, or !
yields six hundred percent on the
investment. If he adds a college
education he will then command
$1,200 a year which capitalized is
$20,000. The one thousand dol
lars spent on his college course ;
adds $10,000 to his capital stock
or yields one thousand percent on
the investment. The average un
skilled day laborer on the the
street receives $875 a year. Es
timating the working period of a
man as forty years, he earns
$15,000 in life. The college bred
man who earns $1,200 a year will
receive $18,000 in life. The dif
ference is $33,000 in favor of the
college man. .Supposing that he
had spent tifteen years in acquir
ing his education, the value in fu
ture earning power of every day
spent in school is about $10 and
yet we keep our children out of
school for trifles. These calcula
tions are not fanciful. The court
follows such a rule in estimating
damage in a suit where death has
been caused by wrongful acts,con
! sidering the life expectancy of the
[deceased. The state that spends
I money on the practical education
of its citizens is making a wise
movement, which will later yield
interest in the form of develoi*
ment of her resources and increase
of taxes. How much more there
fore should the parent, interested
in the happiness and future well
being of his child, invest in his
education.
England by establishing a pub
lic school system in 1870 so in
creased the earnings of her labor
ing classes that she saves $40,
000,000 annually on her pauper
list alone. Victor Hugo says,
’‘Open a school and you close a
prison.’’ Since England began
investing in brain and character,
her population has increased one
third, her criminals have decreas
ed one-third, and her expenditures
on police and prison have decreas
ed $20,000,000.
PRODUCTIVE POWER VARIES
WITH EDUCATION.
Other things being equal this
thesis seems to be true, the pro
ductive power of a people wilt
vary with their education. Edu
cation is here used in a broad
sense to include such mental and
manual training as will best lit for
life. Where the public school
term in the United States is long
est, there the average productive
capacity of the citizen is greatest.
The tables below were prepared
to ascertain the truth of this prop
osition. The education statistics
were drawn from the Reports of
the United States Commissioner
of Education and those on produc
tion from the Twentieth Census.
The comparsion of Arkansas and
the United States at large in 19<)0
reads as follows: As 78, the aver
age number of days schools were
kept open in Arkansas, is to 145,
the average number of days schools
were open in the United States; so
$95, the per capita production in
Arkansas, is to $23<S, the per cap
ita production in the United
States.
Michigan and Arkansas came
into the Union at the same time,
and allowing for the ravages of
war, a comparsion between them,
illustrates the truth which we are
emphasizing. Taking 1900, the
proportion would read: As 78,
the average length of school term
in Arkansas, is to 102, the averager
length in Michigan; so $95, the
average per capita production in
Arkansas, is to $208, the average
per capita production in Michigan.
There is also a vital relation be
tween educational expenditure anti
productive power. The compari
son of the same states in 1900
would read: As $7.01, the amount
expended on each pupil in Arkan
sas, is to $18.08, the expenditure
per pupil in Michigan; so $1)5, the
per capita production in Arkan
sas, is to $208, the per capita pro
duction irt Michigan. According
to these figures an average family
of live in Arkansas in 1900 had
8-475 to live upon, while a family
of five in Michigan had $1,045, in
California $1,920, and in the I'nj
ted States at large $1,190. True*
Michigan expended on education
$0,539,154 against only $1,309,810
in Arkansas, yet every citizen of
Michigan on an average produced
$113 more that year than the Ark
ansan. If Arkansas should in
crease her school term to that of
Michigan, with her present popu
lation, she would add $109,500,000
to her annual output, and yet
some people grumble about in
creasing school taxes.
