He has ground which will tie him 10 the country for five years on Pedro creek alone. and in addition has property on Gilmore creek which he thinks will be a work able proposition. If the season comes up to his expectations he will take out dirt from a surface of 12O.- 00o feet of bedrock. It is possible that he will have a crew of 9 men on abou' all summer as. in his case the installation f one of the huge bottomless scrapers is still consider ed an experiment. The object in putting on one of these contrivances is, of course, to minimize expenses and in the opinion of several Pedro men, if without exception the reduc- ed expenses in wages are not count erbalanced by the unavoidable in- crease in wear and tear on tackle and rigging and the increased wood consumption, the machines will come into general use throughout all of the shallow pay ground in the camp. insuring activity for many years Cn ground which. under the ordinary method of working would necessar- fly remain in state of idleness.

Address on Education Given by Miss

afternoon, to which the members of the

invited. Following their yearly custom
Of an address upon education in some
country the subject of the address
this time was Education for English
Women-given by Miss Elsie G. May
Of England. Miss Mary A. c. Avery,
president of the club. presided and in
Producing Miss May stated that she
was a graduate of Birmingham and
Oxford-a prize student at Bryn
Holyoke. Miss May spoke of the
English High schools. There are prin-
cipaIly for girls. cover courses from
kindergarten to college and have a
strict course of study They are very
like our private schools. Tuition fees
are from $50 to $500 year. There
are also some municipal High Schools
costing one half the amount. Games
are a part of the especially
hockey or basketball. Eighteen is the
average graduating age from these
schools. Fewer per cent so on to col
lege than do in this country. She
then spoke of three universities-Lon-
don. Birmingham and Oxford. Until
1900 the University of London was
merely-an examining body. Now it
comprises 10 colleges, 4 of which are
for women, Bedford, Kings, Westfield
and Holloway London was the first
to give degrees to women. Oxford
and Cambridge do not do this yet
London has eight faculties
science and medicine being the most
popular. The University of Birming-
ham dates from 1900. Before that 1t
was Mason College-founded in 1875.
1t has always been CO. educational.
1t shows American influence in its
courses, which allow some optional
work. The guild of undergraduates
controls its social life. Most Of the
students live at home. Oxford has two
college Somerville and St Hughes
and two halls--Lady Margaret's and
st. Hilda's-for women. There are
$50 women students as against 1000
men. AS degrees are not granted the
women, there is more latitude given
them in the course of study. The
pass degree is not high at Oxford,
the nine honor finals being the goals
worked for by the ambitious students,
On entering each student is put In
charge Of a tutor, who is responsible
for his work. The most important
work is done for the coaches.
AS there are only "a weeks In the
school year, there Is not time to study
for the coaches and read UP on the
lectures attended-so the latter Is done
in vacation time. There is no class
spirit She pictured a typical college
day-lts work and recreations. De-
bates are a great feature in college
life.
Besides the address, there was
music by Miss Lucille Peck, who rend-
cred in charming style two groups Of
violin solos. Her selections were
Alteration. Salut D. Amour, and Ma
zurka. Mrs. Charles H. Haskell ac-
companied.
