Educating Mining Engineers.

There are number of advocates
favoring longer terms of tuition and
apprenticeship for students of mining
engineering. A British writer sug-
gests that If as the educational COM
mittee of the British Institution Of
Civil Engineers states civil engin-
GERS college course should be three
years and his practical training in
workshops four years-seven years in
all, then the mining engineer should
have three years theoretical training,
and at least one year extra for his
special work. "And granting COL
lege course Of that length, then two
or three years of practical work would,
in the majority of cases probably be
adequate" The writer also empha-
sizes the necessity of watching stud
ents who spend long vacations in
practical work, so that their time may

American mining schools periodically
send detachment of their students
to explore the more important mineral
regions with a professor as their guide
says the Mining World.
Some months ago the innovation
was made by one Of our large eastern
universities of giving its students
practical working experience by op-
tioning mine exclusively for their
use. The so-called mine foreman was

Complaint is made by employers
that technical graduates, though
their theoretical knowledge is sound,
their common sense and practical
insight are often at fault. When
these graduates become acclimated in
business and recover from the mental
cramp" due to their long seclusion in
the academic atmosphere, their SER
vices are invaluable.
