its full income to mining and metal
lurgy. admitting only regular students
candidates for degree. So high
67ade and efficient has il become that
the influx of graduates Of other col
leees, as well as of advanced standing
men, has led to the organization or
graduate courses in mining and metal
lu:gical engineering Graduates of the
leading colleges and universities of the
United States, as well as OF the Cen
trail Technical College of London and
the Imperial Technological Institute
of Toxic. Japan, are now enrolled
among the students.
While the school has an excellent
reputation not only in Colorado, in the
United States and abroad. and while
to many it seems to be the leading
school of its kind in the world, yet.
in order TO be above criticism it should
possess a department not now possess
ed by any mining school All schools
have departments of ore dressing and
mstallurgy, but they are entirely on
purely laboratory scale. The thing
needed is a large ore-dressing and
metallurgiCal experimental plant OF
commercial size, capable of handling
ore in carload lots. Such department
would consist of four parts: SdmplinG
mill. oTC-drCsSing plant, mill for ANAL
gamatiOn Clanidatiun and chlorma'
ton, and roasting and smelling see
ton.
Such a plant would enable the stu
dents to come into immediate contact
With the real problems of their pro
fcSsiOn. in their commercial and Scicn-
liiic aspect. 1t would give therl an
ideal training for their future work.
i, would enable the school to become
contributor of knowledge of great
theoretical and practical value 20 the
mining industry. On the other hand.
IL woald be of incalculable Value to
tho mining industry as a whole. for II
could be used by mining engineers for
exhaustive tests to determine the prop
or treatment of rebellious ores. In
word, it would advance the quality
of instruction, place the school in an
exalted relative to other mining schools
end advance materially the general
mining industry of the country.
Today, no engineering school. now
ever, fulfls its function completely un-
less it works in harmony with the pro
fossion, and this the Colorado School
Of Mines endeavorS to do, for In ad-
ditlOn to its present well equipped la
boratores it seeks to organize an cX
perimontal plant which will become an
important factor in devClGpin. tha
mineral wealth of the Rocky Noun
tain region.
No special students are admitted,
The course is severe and the standard
is high. The aim of the school is to
produce quality. not quantity. No eS
fort is made to emphasize the theoreti-
cal over the practical, nor the prac-
| tical over the theoretical, but TO obtain
| tho happy medium of correct theory
| with intelligent practice. SO that the
| graduate Will be prepared in his pro
| fcssion to advance to the highest posi-
| tions Obtainable.

Since then she had been learning to

Her work was done at last. She

Hattie, and nothing to fill it with ex-

NO, of course not. But papa goes

unloaded the wagon and got it across

Yes. he shall" said Hattie, with
determination.

come in friendly pioneer fashion to
help the settlers wife through her
sickness: but to the inmates of the
little cabin she was ministering

cient, an angel could hardly have
done more in that prairie home. Yet
she did not look in the least like an
angel as she put on the pioneers old
cap and coat. tied red wooden scarf
around her neck, drew old stockings
over her shoes and floundered out
through the drifts, stout and rosy in
the wind, to do the chores for the
night Not a glimpse of the near by
barn could be obtained from the cabin
door. Hattie tied long rope to the
door knob and carefully held the other
end as she walked toward it.
She pulled down hay and fed the
stock ald MIXED. She brought out
pals full of the snow water she had
melted in the big wash boiler for
them to drink. She brought in a
great supply of fuel and made every
thing outdoors and in as snug and
CHEEKY as possible. Then she cooked
the supper-that did not take long
for there was little to cook-and
washed up the dishes and cared for
the sick woman and the little babe.
She put Lille to bed in the queer
little trundle- bed-the child chatterlng
about Santa Claus every minute-and
tucked her in as happy as if there
were nc fear or anxiety in the world
oh, what would the pioneer families
have done without the girls of >tnat

mother.

Not thing except what worries

she knew that all the time she car
