Assistant Superintendent
FOUNDATION SCHOOL

Questions are frequently asked
as TO just what work students may
get in the Foundation School. I
shall attempt TO answer some OF
these questions.
Foundation is composed OF all the
grades up to and including the 9Th.
Above the 5th grade, each school
has but one grade, which arrange
ment gives the students an excep-
tionally good opportunity. Every
class is taught by a trained and ex-
perienced teacher.
All Foundation students are more
than IS years old. so, students, wh",
for any reason, have not had schoq
advantages, and are still in the
lower grades, always find others,
who. like themselves, are in the
lower classes. Last year. one young
man % years old entered. He hal
never been TO school but one day In
his life. He did not enter until the
winter term and this year he will
be in the ith grade.
In addition to the work in all
the common branches, the Founda-
ton students have classes in agri-
culture, drawing, singing, woodwork,
cooking, sewing, and Bible. the girls
receiving the domestic science while
the boys are taking lessons in wood
work.
Each 9Th grade girl may have one

First We teach all the subjects
required to enter the best colleges
OF the country. Our graduates en-
ter Berea College and other first
class colleges without examinations
and without conditions. Our chief
business is to prepare students to
enter college.
Second, We teach the subjects
taught in the High Schools of the
country. II you plan to teach in a
High School you could not do bet
ter than to take these subjects in
a place where every subject Is
taught by a specialist.
Many states are requiring even
common school teachers to be High
School graduates.
Third, There is a class Of students
who want to study law, medicine,
engineering, dentistry, pharmacy, Or
enter the ministry who do not have
the time for a college course. In all
of these professions a good High
School or Academy course is reguir-
ed. Our graduates enter these pro
fessional schools every year.
Fourth, We shall outline at some
length our course for those who
plan to live in the country.

BERERA COLLEGE IS ONE
GREAT SCHOOL
Just What You Want at Berea


Berea College is one great school.
Just as there are companies in q
regiment, and regiments in divi-
sion so that the army can do its
best work SO Berea College is divid-
ed into five great departments. The
College Department completes the
education begun in other depart
ments and opens the way for the
professions like the Ministry, the
Law, Mediocre and higher teaching.
The Normal Department trains
young people to become useful
common school teachers. 1t has
a large training school where stu
dents actually do some teaching. The
Academy prepares students to enter
upon a College course Ut also has
a short course which prepares one
for immediate usefulness). The
Vocational Department has courses
which make one useful house.
keeper, farmer, carpenter, black
smith, printer and so on. The COM
pletion of any one of these courses
enables one to double bic income
in a short time. The Foundation
School provides the proper studies
in the common branches like gram
mar, geography and such like to
folks over fifteen years old. No
matter how old or backward one is
there is always a suitable class
which will make one the equal Of
any one in a few years. Berea is
one great school in which you can
get Just what you want.
Each department is entirely
separate. 1t has its own campus
class rooms, dining rooms, DORM
itories, Literary Societies, athletics
and faculty. The proper atmo-
sphere which belongs TO each de-
partment is created.
Many Students Make Great
Advantages Possible
There were over 1000 students in
all departments last year. The
coming together Of so many people
in one place makes it possible to
provide the finest advantages at the
least possible cost. The finest lect-
ures and entertainments that the
country has to offer are brought to
Berea at almost no cost to students.
Men Of the country like Hon. VIM.
Jennings Bryan, Mayor Seth Low,
Hon. R. p. Hobson and others OF like
standing are brought to Berea with
out cost to students. Then there
is a library Of $4,000 volumes. All
these advantages and many more
as great are open to everybody.
Under such associations young
people are made over in a year.
Under the Berea system every stu
dent has the advantage Of his one
department and also enjoys the great
common advantage made possible
by a large school.
Students Get Personal Attention
Grouping the students in depart
ments has the very large advantage
Of making it certain that each stu
dent will get special care. Some
member of the faculty is .respons-
ible for becoming personal
friend and advisor 10 every boy or
girl at Berea. Parents can rest
easy when their boys and girls are
at Berea. They get personal atten-
ton and care.

We have heard much about the
object Of the great war being to
make the world safe for Democracy"
But are we thinking as much as We
should about making Democracy
safe for the world?' The former
task may be for the soldiers and
sailors to accomplish, but the latter
is the especial problem set for the
teachers Of our country.
Democracy Safe
A Democracy is only safe when
ii rests upon an intelligent, self
possessed citizenship. capable Of
thinking out the problems Of so
ciety; and such citizenship can
only be produced by efficient public
schools.

THE ACADEMY ENGLISH COURSE
Preparation for Life

The English Course which is be-
ing greatly enlarged this year is OF
special value to the young men and
women who plan to live in the open
country and who may not have the
time and means to secure a COM
plete college education. The course
deals with things that successful
people find it necessary TO know
about in everyday life on the farms
and in the small towns.
1t is equally valuable to the young
people who expect to complete a
college course, for all the work in
all the classes will be accepted at
full credit value for college en-
trance.
The young men who plan TO be
farmers will find the work in agri-
culture, rural problems, and farm
arithmetic Of great value. Those
who expect to become lawyers will
be deeply interested in the classes
in civics and general social science.
Those who desire to become preach
ers will find great help in the
courses in the Bible, philosophy, and
general rural life. All who wish TO
become doctors will get great good
from the work in rural sanitation
and health.
Young women who want TO make
the best Of life in the open country
will find the work in cooking, sew
ing, canning, weaving, practical
housekeeping and rural life prob
LENS OF great value.
Meets Young Peoples Needs
In fact the entire course is ar
ranged purposely to meet the needs
OF young people who want TO get the
best kind Of training for successful,
useful and happy life on the farms
and in the small towns. The prob
lens OF house-furnishing, of max
ing handy things for the home and
farm are dealt with. Questions OF
health, recreation, and the general
relations Of the people OF the COM
munity are considered in practical
way.

Eating Too Much

You're digging your grave with
your teeth, you're eating your
way to your doom; then some one
will come with a wreath and
fasten it onto your tomb. Your
stomach is weary and sore, long,
long has it yearned for a rest; and
still you keep throwing in more,
the which you would have it di-
gest. Go slow on your eating, |
beg; the money you blow in for
pies would buy some poor cripple
a leg or fix him with vitreous
eyes. Oh, list to my patient har-
'angues, don't turn from my rede
in disgust; you're digging your
grave with your fangs, while mil
lions are craving crust. All Eu-
rope is hungry, they say; the
women and children are lean; the
helpless, the stricken and gray,
can't find in the larder a bean.
And you are devouring the rusks,
consuming the doughnuts and
pies; you're digging your grave
with your tusks, all deaf to the
hungry folks cries. Says Hoover,

ting out sugar and fats, by diet
