be designated as vocational educa-
tional institutions for the teaching of
agriculture, industrial trades and do
mestic science, and they viii receive
state and federal aid for this work.
DR.. c. H. Lane, Federal Agent for
Agricultural Education, of Atlanta
and Washington, D. c., was here and
had conference with the State Board
Of Education with the result that a
resolution was passed and steps taken
toward securing this federal aid for
vocational education, it being neces-
sary for the various states to expend
an equal amount in order to receive
the funds for this work from the gov
eminent.
Chapter 1876, Acts Of the Legisia-
ture Of 1917, provides for the ac-
ceptance of the Federal appropria-
ton, made by the Smith Hughes Act
for aiding vocational education in the
States, to-wit: agriculture, the
trades, industries, and home econom-
les.
Chapter 1876 creates the State
Board of Education as the State Vo-
cational Educational Board for the
execution of the Federal Act and the
State law.

there never has been a time when,

Dissolution Of Old Quicksilver Com

Engineering and Mining JournaD
The Quicksilver Mining company OF
California, one Of the Oldest COM
Ipanies in the state and at one time
the largest producer of quicksilver,
has made application through its dir
ectors for the appointment Of re-
ceivers and the dissolution of the
company. 1t has been organized over
go years and at one time did profit
able business. but for some years
past its mines have produced nothing
and the assets listed In the application
are less than the liabilities, leaving
nothing at all for the $10,000,00 stock.
There has been no production for sew
eral years and the New Almaden tract
the main asset Of the company is
valued In the present statement at
only $40 per acre. All Of which goes
to show that mines are not everlasting
and that It pays to practice amortiza-
ton when profits are going.

When the former car was asked to
state his wishes as to the course the
railway which connects Petrograd and
Moscow should take, he drew a per-

accordingly, although they had many

the expense would have been much
less If they had made some deviations.
This is probably the longest straight

predict that peace requirements for
the output of the mines probably will

but prosperity In store for the metal

The optimist, most fortunately Is
more frequently right in his deductions

that certain things cannot be done he
merely shrugs his shoulders, and dog

Is possible in mining as we'll as any
