To enter Berea College one must
have completed a four year Acad-
envy course. In the College itself
enc may work for the degree of
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of
science, according to the studies
elected. or one may take a three
wear course for the degree Of Bache-
Tor Of Philosophy or a two year
course for the degree of Bachelor
Of Pedagogy, or Bachelor Of Letters.
There is Carnegie Library of over
10000 volumes, and a full labora-

accept $1,000 position in Berea.
Next comes the Normal Depart
ment. This was long famous as the
only normal school containing a
majority of young men students.
It's Dean, Cloyd N. McAllister, PhD,
was formerly an instructor at Yale.
1t is foremost in adaptation to rural
work. president Frost calls the
mountains "super-rural'). II has a
splendid opportunity for practice
teaching in a special building, where
its students give actual instructions
to young children, under super
vision, and has two model schools
in the mountains near by.
The Vocational Department is a
group of schools by itself. There
is Mountain Agriculture, Home Sci
ence, Nursing, "a new $4,000 Hos
pital, and free care for students
when i'll Woodwork, Printing, Ma
sonry, and Commercial branches.
Then comes the Academy which
takes students who have finished
the common branches, and offers
two courses: one Of four years,
which prepares the student to en-
ter College, and a shorter course OF
two years, which is for those who
are not expecting to go on 10 Col
lege, but need immediate prepara-
ton for their life work. There are
many mountain families who are
beyond the reach Of any High
School, but they can send their sons
and daughters to the Berea Acad-
envy.
The Foundation School is a Berea
invention. There are many young
people in the mountains, who in
some way have missed their early
advantages, and though more than
fifteen years Of age, are still in the
common branches. II is difficult for
such people TO go in with younger
children, and catch up, but in Be
rea Foundation School they are
cassed with others like them
selves, and treated in many
ways like College students. They
get a great deal more out Of the
common branches, and more quickly
complete them.
But the great difficulty for a
mountain family in sending children

Our Mountain Region

Above is given a map of the
mountain region of the South with
a list Of the counties embraced in
this vast central domain. 1t will be
noted that, with the exception of
West Virginia, the mountains con-
stitute the minor portion of a num-
Der of states. In West Virginia they
constitute practically the entire
commonwealth. This mountain re-
gion. from the southern line Of
Pennsylvania to the iron hills Of
Birmingham, has a great variety OF
service, but there are some charac-
teristics which all mountains share
in common.
First of all, they are inhabited by
a pure American population. There
are fewer people Of foreign birth
than in any other part of the en-
tire country. The Mountaineers are
descended from the early settlers
of America -- English, Irish, and
Scotch-Irish. There are, today, more
descendants of Revolutionary SOL
diers in the mountains than any
where else.
In the second place, the mountain
region is everywhere a country
hard TO travel through. In this
way its people have been shut of
from communication from the great
world outside, and they have
changed less than people in any
other place. Until very recently
they have had no railroads, and be-
fore the time of railroads they
were without canals and rivers
which promoted travel elsewhere.
The result has been that they have
continued TO live, think, and speak
as the people did at the time OF
the Revolutionary War.
At the time of the Revolution,
everybody was opposed to slavery.
Later, when the invention of the
cotton gin made slavery profitable,
the Southern states got TO favor
the institution, but the people OF
the mountains were not Interested
in cotton raising, had but little
communicable with their neighbors
of the lowland, and never shared
in this change of sentiment. The
result was that for the most part
they stood by the Union. They
held Kentucky in the Union, and
made West Virginia secede from
the secession. There are mountain
men drawing pensions for service
in the Union Army, as far South
as Georgia and Alabama.
So we see the mountain region
contains a people who have been
Disadvantage, and who have not
fully shared in the progress OF
modern times, while at the same
time, they are unspoiled, unweak-
ened, and interrupted by many
modern evils.
Now Berea College has under
taken. in a large way, TO provide
for the educational needs of this
vast territory. The mountain boys
and girls find il difficult TO get on
at schools outside the mountain re-
gion. The expenses are great, and
the ways of the people too strange,
but at Berea, where a majority are
from the mountains, and where
special attention is given 10
the needs of the mountain re-
gion, they feel at home, and make
most rapid progress.
First OF all, Berea is a college.

by your choice of your life work.
Here is a thot TO help you make a
choice: OF the more than 800 call
ings men may follow, the one that
shows the brightest promise for an
ambitious person is the profession
Of teaching. Because Of the painful
disappointments suffered by so
many young people who rush into
the Over-crowded professions, il is
worth while that you give serious
consideration 10 this increasingly
attractive field Of work. What are
some Of the good points commend
ing this form Of worlds work.
The Material Rewards
This is not by any means the chief
motive for the choice OF a profess
sion; yet, it is right for you to give
careful attention TO the financial
rewards. II is important, therefore,
that you note that teaching is a
profession that is becoming more
attractive year by year. There Is
an increasing demand for well
trained men and women Of the high
est type, consequently salaries are
better and the indications are that
they will be better still in the near
future. Preparation for the work
counts toward salary in the teach
ing profession, as well as in every

SCOUTS ARE GOOD SOLDIERS.

AS an organization the scout move ment Is not military in thought, form or spirit, although 1t does instill In boys the military virtues, such as hon. or, loyalty, obedience and patriotism.
 The uniform, the patrol, the troop, and the drill are not for military tao ties; they are for the unity, the har- mony and the rhythm of spirit that boys learn In scouting. It Is in the wearing of the uniform and doing of things together as scouts that they ab- sorb the force and truth of the scout law. which states: "A scout Is friend of all, and brother to every other scout"
 While the spirit of scouting is not militaristic, the experiences of the last year have completely demonstrated that outdoor scout training with It's cooking, camping, hiking, signaling, map reading, wireless, electricity, knowledge of woodcraft and ability to care for oneself in the open helps im- measurably in fitting man for the duties of soldier.
 While scouting as a teen-age boy program very properly is not militar- istic from technical standpoint, 1t is, however, patriotic. as proven by last years wonderful record of scout na- tIon-wide, civic war service for the navy department, in the two Liberty bond campaigns, !n the gardening propaganda, in selling War Savings stamps, In distributing more than 5,000,0O0 patriotic documents for the committee on public information, in cooperating with the Red Cross. war camp community recreation fund.

GOOD PLACE FOR YOUNGSTER
Kid Pitcher Who Worked Out So We'll In Morning Practice Saved for
 Decoration Day.

Many years ago, when Connie Mack was the Milwaukee catcher, the club opened the season with several sore arm veteran pitchers. There was one youngster with the club who did not complain of this trouble, so they sent him to the slab. Milwaukee was beat en something like 16 to 4. The kid pitcher was downcast. "The umpire didn't give me any the best of it,"' he said by way of an alibi.
 "No," replied Joe Cantillon, who had overheard the remark; neither did the opposing batters give you any the best of It."
 The kid walked off In huff. Connie Mack turned to Cantillon. "rll say this for the boy" he said. five worked out with him every morning for the last two weeks, and he looked mighty good.
 Cantillon pulled a schedule out of his pocket and glanced over 1t rapidly. '"The next morning game is on Decora- ton day, Connie" he remarked. "saye the kid pitcher for then" ...-. -
