A called meeting of educators and
school executives from over the state

Tuesday OF this week TO plan for
compliance with President Wilson's

Second; That schools put into prac-
tice the Red Cross plans for nurse

Third; That the government be

MINING SCHOOL RESUMED.

The Nevada Travelling Mining
School took up classes on last Mon
day evening in the High School build
T ing but the attendance so far has
been small because very few people
were aware OF its starting.
This school is maintained by State
and federal Appropriations and is car
ried on at no cost to the student who
wishes to take up the study of any OF
the. mining subjects.
According to the regulations gov
erning this school il is to remain in
one locality for.twelve weeks and the
courses are arranged accordingly.
But ii at the end OF the twelve week
period the attendance is twenty or
better it will remain an additional
twelve weeks. 1t has already held
classes at Yerington for siX weeks
and is now beginning on the second
six week period. The attendance Tor
the first hall OF the session was fifteen.
so il that is not increased this second
part it will be gone before you know
it and you will have lost an opportu-
nitv to have learned some very
beneficial things, helpful to every one
in Nevada.
There is no previous education re-
ouired TO be able to do this work or
some part OF it The only requirement.
made by the school is that he or she
know how TO read and write the Eng
lsh language. 80 the scope for attend
ance is very large This is the fund
amental idea in Establishing these
secondary mining Scholls That is, to
give every one an equal opportunity
for study along mining lines so he
can be better man on the job and al
so be able to prospect more ntelli-
gently.
The old time prospector. like near
" all other lines. is out OF date now.
MI he needed to know was how TO
pan out dirt and if he had no gold in
the rock or gravel or whatever 1t
may have been. he moved on to some
other place, Nowadays tho, the man
who prospects intelligently is the one
who knows some geology in order to
pick ont the most likely places OF ore
deposition, and also minerology 10 de-
termine whether he has anything OF
value. \ mon doesn't need to he a
chemist To determine minerals, Tor by
blowpipe analysis the operations are
SO simple that very little chemical
knowledge is necessary Nou can do
this here by putting in two hours OF
your spare time five days a week.
The classes at present are held from
to 9 pm in the High School but
7 if you are working shifts You can
work either in the morning or af-
ternoon as suits you.
I Don't stay away because you are
. late in getting started, as everyone
works for himself and you can start
any time.
For further particulars call up or
see Spike Henderson at the Brooks
Hotel or at the High School
