VALUE OF AN EDUCATION - VII: The untrained man. He goes to work at 14 - reaches maximum income at 30. Total earnings from 14 to 60 about $45,000. No more than $2000 is earned in four years that would have given him a High School Education.
So tired of waiting, dawn of tomorrow bring you back to me. From eight o'clock in the morning until 9:30 at night are long hours for a "working girl." When I am so tired as I am tonight - I long to drift into dreamland in your arms - How much sweeter and more refreshing sleep would be if you were very near.

ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
