A great many Of the best students
were from the rural districts, and
these students were generally the
most industrious. The plan under
which new courses are added partic-
ularly commends itself to the practi

Whenever a group Of men make in

the cost OF the instructor a course is
added.
In Denver some OF the best teaching
talent in the world is to be had, and
there is never any trouble in provid-
ing expert practical instruction.
Real success today depends upon
trained brains more than upon beef
and muscle. Plenty of men are to be
had for the hard, manual work. but
not enough men who can work with
their muscles and brains together.
Machines and mechanical contriyances
do most OF the hard work today. Men
are needed to guide them with their
brains.

the education he needs, discovers it
sooner or later. He sees other fell

The new Nevada divorce law Is,
perhaps, the most elastic ever entered

list says In treatise on the procedure

states generally contain some provi-

failure to provide form the basis of
