College Education and Opportunity.
BY Prof c. p Rumold. Dean Of Collegiate Dept
A college education means oppor-
tunity. II means the first chance.
All the great professions and indus
tries are calling for college trained
men and women. The General
Electric Company Of West Lynn,
Mass, one Of the largest concerns of
its kind in the country, writes;
while our Shop Apprentice course
is open TO grammar school graduates,
we strongly recommend il for those
who have bad more extended edu-
cation as we are DESTROYS of obtaining
this latter class of young men in our
shops where good opportunities await
them" Everywhere men are looking
for men with a college training, for
men who have been trained TO use
their faculties, for men and women
who have learned to do and to man
age things from the bottom up, and
who have acquired a sound and
broad basis in some one line. These

Judging from the great number

large. About twenty five new stud
ents from Ohio will enter College in
the Fall.

ers.
This is an age Of great progress.
Young men and women starting into
business or professional life at PRES
ent will, before the prime of life, be
completely out-stripped in their lines
by the younger trained men of that
time and must inevitably take a sec
ond place then, unless their prepar-
alton is based upon a broad College
education making possible "a rapid
adaptation to new ideas and ways of
doing things as these ideas and things
come 10 light. Success in any
station is determined by versatility
in adjusting oneself to the conditions
of that place or occupation. This
comes by liberal training, such as is
offered by the Colleges and Univer-
sites.
Berea College offers to the young
men and women of Kentucky and TO
other ambitious ones wanting to lay
thorough foundation for broad
College education at the lowest pos
sible outlay, courses of instruction
leading into all the great fields of
knowledge. Here are Thorough
courses in Literature, Languages,
Mathematics, and Sciences, leading
10 the usual degrees offered by
Colleges. The work done and re-
quired is up 10 the standard of the
best Colleges. Students going from
Berea to other schools for advanced
work always rank high in the classes
OF those institutions. Credit is given
for the work done here.
A new interest in education is call
ing for teachers who can manage
classes in Latin, German, English,
Algebra, Geometry, and other ad-
vanced subjects. The rapid open
ing Of coalfelds aud other industries
heretofore untouched, calls for en-
gineers and surveyors to build rail-
roads and survey the land. All of
these fields are open to the college
trained men and women. The man
with the soundest education is al the
top in all Of these callings.
Youth is the time when a college
education is most easily mastered.
A little effort and sacrifice now will
bring one into position to be OF the
greatest service TO oneself and TO the
world. A common school education is
no longer sufficient to meet the needs
of our times. Education to be of value
for the future must 60 further. One
must have definite and thorough
knowledge Of some one line Of work.
A broad preparation with a definite
knowledge Of some one subject is
what our commercial world is asking
OF every man and woman who would
enter il. A College education alone
supplies the requirements.
No man or woman with talent and
energy to raise one hundred dollars
has a valid excuse for not being in
College year and fitting himself or
herself for the large places in the
world. A College education is with.
in reach Of every young man or
woman who is willing TO work. Why
not get a College education when
there is nothing TO lose and every
thing to gain Greedy once said in
effect, eff you want to succeed go
West" Under our changed con
ditions his advice would be, eco TO
College"

Beres College is not a money max

HIGHLANDS SCHEME.
Ne Proposes q Concrete Maritime
Highway In Place Of = Ditch
Across Isthmus of Panama.

Louisville, KY, Nov. ia plan for
q concrete maritime highway across
the isthmus Of Panama to be used a.
a substitute for the ditch as at pres
ent projected has been submitted to
President Roosevelt by Colonel Alex
nnder Hogeland, known throughout
the United States as the father Of
the Curfew." The plan which has
been the subject Of correspondence
betwee nthe president and the engi-
neering department and Colonel Hoge-
land is now in the hands Of the canal
commission. 1t contemplates the
building Of a concrete highway at the
bottom thirty feet above sea level and
which will resemble a vladuct in
passing the low portions Of the 18th
mus. The advantages claimed for It
are that II will allow the rivers TO
be passed under It thereby obyiatlng
the dangers resulting from frsshsts;
doing away with the necessity for
a vast quantity OF wAter
from the Charges and other rivers in
the artificial lake by the Gatun dam
and finally avoiding the necessity for
an immense annual expense for dredE-
ing and keeping the canal clear, esDeci-
ally where Il passes through the artin-
eial lake. Colonel Hogeland secured
patents covering the principles Of the
project some years ago.
