Marquette Paper Comments on Work
Mems Course at Mining School.


That the plan of the faculty of the
College of Mines to provide courses
for workmen is meeting with approval
is indicated in the following editorial
comment in the Marquette Chronicle:
The action of the state mining col
lege administration To provide courses
i'm practical study particularly suited
for the workers of the copper and iron
countries is an unique step. 1t Is an
illustration of the college coming
down'-that is, ii is descending from
the perch of academism into fields
that are more closely related to the
every day life of the ordinary mortal
1t is one of the most important steps
i'm Michigan educational endeavor that
has been recorded in years. Omitting
more or less reasoning that leads to
the conclusion, The Chronicle is of the
opinion that the Houghton schools
action is an effort to supply serious
shortcoming in our educational system
"a shortcoming that leaves hundreds
of thousands of young men without
adequate equipment for life that VIII
sustain self and provide the surplus
necessary for growth, except at the
expense of n number of years spent in
the school of experience.
For years we have been planning our
high school work with particular ref
erence to college entrance. Large
sums are spent to provide courses of
study that will give few points cred
it" at this or that college. We have
been doing this despite the fact that
over % per cent of the children VINO
enter the public school never attend
college. nor can ever hope to do so
SO, i'm building this high school struc-
ture, we have considered the needs
of less than five per cent; the other
95 per cent so forth half baked' into
a world that demands instant results
when il employs. In every large busi-
ness and commercial center II is
notorious fact that high school grad
yates have To be made over before
they are fitted for ordinary lines OF
work.
The action at Houghton can scarce
lly be considered normal from ar
educational viewpoint. Houghton has
merely seen the big field for practica
work and is fulfilling its function ol
helping the people of the state by
! stepping down to do work that coule
and should be done in lower grades o.
education 1t is splendid work: one
that cannot fail to bear fruit directly
and Indirectly for the people of Michi
gan. but that the opportunity or nee'
exists Is an arraignment of the cost!

Various reasons might be given
for this increase" said Mr.. Mcintosh
but in my opinion the main one Is
that the copper country is prosperous

that the mines have curtaileds theil

ISLANDS ARE FAST WASHING AWAY
One in chesapeake Bay Has Dimin-
ished From 438 Acres in 1913
to SO Acres in 1910.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-That GER
tain islands and headlands in Chesa-
peake bay are being destroyed at a
startling rate but by the ordinary
action of waves and currents is shown
in report by the geological survey.
The most interesting feature of the
report is the destruction of three is
lands at the mouth of Choptank riv-
er. OF these Sharps, which a genera
ton ago was a summer resort and a
favorite hunting ground, is today de-
serted and almost barren Of life. It's
438 acres of 1848 had dwindled at
the time of the most recent survey
in 1910 to So acres. The island will
be entirely effaced by 1850, accord
ing to the survey.
The other two islands, James is
land and Tilghman island, also are
rapidly disappearing. The former
decreased in size from 976 acres in
1848 to 400 acres in 1910, while the
latter, which supports many prosper
Gus farmers and fishermen, was re-
duced from 2,015 acres in 184S to
1856 acres in 1900, and is now sur
rendering about six acres each year
to the seas.

HEAVY DRINKING IN PANAMA,
Three HOmicides in One Day Due to
Drunkenness.

The practical completion of work
IN the Panama canal zone and the
throwing into idleness of thousands
OF employes-black white and yell
loW-have led to excuses in drink
ing spirituous liquors and other in
toxlcants which are having the usual
sequel of quarrels and murders. One
day recently there were three homi-
cides in Panama, due to drunken
ness. In some of the long blocks in
the city there are from s to 10 sa-
looms, and they are we'll patronized,
as money is plentiful as yet among
the laborers. The Chinese are num-
erous in the zone and 200 or more
stores saloons and groceries-are
run by them.
The drinking of intoxicants and
life in the tropics, we are told, do
not mix we'll; yet there is very heavy
drinking and American visitors to
the zone wonder how the laborers
are able to poison their systems with
alcohol and still endure the enervat-
ing heat of the tropics.
