This is primarily an **advertisement/article hybrid**, not a cartoon. The piece argues that education directly increases earnings potential, using 1910 U.S. Bureau of Education statistics. **The argument's progression:** - Untrained workers at age 32 earn $10.30/week - High school-trained men earn $40,000 over 40 years - College-trained men earn $22,000 *more* than untrained workers - 65% of "Who's Who" entries are college-educated **The satire/point:** The article champions adult education through institutions like the National City Bank's classes and YMCAs, countering the old belief that mature men shouldn't pursue education. It's essentially early self-help literature promoting education as financial investment—a radical idea for 1910s America. The page also contains hotel and service advertisements typical of Judge magazine's revenue model.

WALSH, lee “MADE AT al GARS Your Future Salary By DALE CARNAGY HE National City Bank has issued a catalogue of educational classes. This great financial institution has a faculty of twenty-three instructors and a curriculum of thirty-cight classes. Twenty years ago the idea of a large commercial house conducting free educa- tional classes for its employees would have been pooh-poohed. But the trend of pro- gress has demonstrated the truth of the old copy book assertion regarding the dynamic power of knowledge. It is not undignified any longer for a mature man to nourish and cultivate his gray matter: the big men in business are taking up educational work. Last year over thirty men in managerial positions, paying from three thousand dollars per year and upwards, sat together one night each week for thirty weeks at the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. and studied public speaking. Acclass of men at the city Y. M. C. Av’s studying memory training, efficiency, char- acter analysis, salesmanship, advertisi investments or public speaking, looks more like a board of directors meeting than an educational class. Regardless of whether you navigate in a jitney or buy tires for a twelve cylinder car, EDUCATION PAYS. | me, young man, what you are doing with your spare time, and I can forecast pretty clearly the salary you will be draw- ing at thirty-two. I am basing my forecast on figures from an unimpeachable souree— the U. S. Bureau of Education Report for 1910. Eighty per cent of our population have an eighth grade training or less and at thirty- two years of age earn weekly $10.30. The average man with a common school education, plus shop or factory training, at thirty-two earns weckly $15.80. The average man with a vocational school training earns weekly at thirty-two, $25.00. The average college-trained man at thirty- two is drawing cach week $42.00. From this class of men come the vast majority of our men of affairs—sixty-five per cent of the men in “Who's Who” are college-trained men. In forty years the untrained man earns $18,000; in forty years the high school trained man earns $40,000. In forty years the educated man $22,000 more than his uneducated brother. It requires twelve school years of 2,160 days to acquire this mental asset which earns $22,000; it pays its possessor more than ten dollars per day for each day of the twelve years spent in devel- oping it. Education pays a tremendous return on the investment; last year a young man in Baltimore invested seventeen dollars in a Y. M. C. A. stenography course, and it produced a two hundred dollar salary in- crease—over one thousand per cent divi- dend. Another man invested fifteen dollars in a window-trimming course and received ‘‘ Laugh and the World Laughs with You” There are laughs galore in every page of Maurice Switzer's Satire and Song As a fun maker and all-round gloom dispeller this work is simply irresistible. If a good laugh is better than a dose of physic, then SATIRE & SONG will actually save scores of doctor's bills. SEE. | 4a _> SATIRE : /S8S0NG enurice The Author is a New York business man with a keen but kindly outlook on life, and a rare sense of humor. He puts his observations of life over the plate in the sort of verse that burns holes in the memory. jasn't Over Twenty, But She Knew Her Little pictures a type of ‘the female of the species that will be instantly recognized. With all the fun there is a vein of deep philosophy in such ballads as ‘Life's Poker Game.” ‘Hymn of the * Opportunity,” “Suspicion,” * The Coat of Content And there's“ The Broadway Mother Goose" and those geligheful travesties, “The Ruby Yap of Homer K. the Song of the Skirt and "The Purple What O. Henry did for some American types in Maurice Switzer has done in verse, and no ‘convincingly. Kipling himself neyer did anything better than sais “Jane Horner” “Had the lady been —" she might have stayed In the gloom of her beanery cell; But being just flesh, she got caught in the mesh Of desires drag-net which is hell.” If you want to shine as an entertainer among your friends. SATIRE & SONG is better than a night at the Follies. It scores a hit every time, and ther @ lilt and swing in Maurice Switzer's verse that make you remember the words.
