.ISADOR COLONY CLAIM FOR BACK SALARY WILL BE FOUGHT IN COURTS
IF THEY BE so ALLOWED, BONDS MEN OF SUPPORTING REGENTS WILL BE SUED; REGENTS ARE TO ASSEMBLE IN BUSY SESSION MONDAY

TUCSON. Ariz., Dec. 7.-The final meeting of the board of regents of the University of Arizona as at pres ent constituted, to be held next Mon- day. will be featured by aI attempt to authorize the payment 10 Prof. lsador Colodny Of back salary" from the date of his discharge in 1916 until the end Of the university term Of that year. amounting to about half a year.
 The matter has been before the board of regents for months, but has never been acted upon. Colodny claims that his discharge, during the period covered by his contract, was illegal. and he appealed his case to the Association for Academic Free dom, it being his contention that he was discharged for his political views. He was at that time editor and pub fisher of the Arizona Teacher
 It is understood that Regents Scar lett and Bryan are prepared to resist the payment of the back pay claimed by Colodny, and that if the money is paid over their protest legal action will be instituted to prevent the hon bring of the warrant by the state treasurer: and, in the event that fails, to bring suit against the bondsmen of the regents who vote to pay the money.
 There will be considerable routine business to come before the board of regents and it is likely that their ses- sion Monday will last all day. Gov ernor Hunt is expected To attend.

PRACTICAL MINE COURSE SOON TO
 REOPEN IN CITY
Phelps Dodge Company Of fers Its Employees Excellent Chance to Reach Greater Success

Education is the key to success. Without education, no man or woman can reach the top of the ladder. Books form the groundwork of ones education. Without well-directed. dil- igent reading few persons can hope to become really educated or cul- tured. Self-education can become one of the pleasantest of habits and cer- tainly 1t is of all habits the most profitable Education = knowledge - means power. It generates, ability, and ability means advancement. Rec Ords inform us that half of our most successful men received a college education and that many of them never completed even the common school course.
 Edison, Eastman, Prick, Shedd, Far Tell. Wilson, Simmons, Carnegie, Ford, Woolworth, Duke, Douglas, these, and many others who have risen from the ranks received very moderate amount of school education. But most of them have become educated men, men of wide knowledge, men of pow erful mentality, men of the keenest observation, men of the soundest judgment, men who have studied na- tare as well as business. Andrew Carnegie had tutor even after he graduated to a Fifth avenue mansion.
 Even the busiest of financiers and captains of industry find time to read a great deal Quite a few of them have a cast iron rule to read for at least an hour every night before going to sleep, no matter how late they re- tire.
 In addition to doing a full days work at his bench or in the mine a young man should daily devote an- other day to studying all about his work or his profession so that he can better understand the meaning of everything he does. the why and the wherefore of it, the principles under lying it, and thus equip himself to rise 10 any height. Comparatively few American youths whose parents paid for their uni versity course have reached the top most rung of the ladder, but it is astounding to note how many of those at the very top had to work their own way through college. We dcn't appreciate anything we get for i nothing This manifestly applies | with special truth to university train |. ing. The fellows who by their own | sweat and their own self-sacrifice had l to pay for their learning derived most | benefit from it. They were wise | enough to make the most of their
Bisbee daily review., 1918-12-08

opportunities. This also taught them ! frugality.
 That a college education, however,
 is not essential to tremendous success in business has been demonstrated over and over again. Did you ever stop to think that scarcely one of the men who have made the very greatest
 business marks in America graduated from college? John D. Rockefeller
 never even graduated from high
 school. Neither did Hartman or Hill.
 The vitally important thing for the
 young man is, first, to realize the
 value of education and then to culti- vate earnestly, aggressively, cease lessly, the habit of self-education. Education is to the brain what food
 is to the body Without fresh SUD-
 plies of knowledge the brain will not
 develop healthily and vigorously any
 more than the body can be sustained
 without fresh supplies of food. The
 mind can be trained to become as a magnet which attracts true steel. but ignores dross. The mind must be
 disciplined to absorb useful, helpful.
 NdlQdUlG anu lO lSnUlt wh 1tever is not helpful or valuable.
 Competition is so keen today that only the well informed person can hope to draw ahead of the crowd. No corporation, no firm, wants an ignorant employe for responsible po- sition. Let no man or woman feel discouraged because of a meager edu- cation. It took Noah 500 years to build the Ark. It may require effort, it may require rigid self-disciplie, it may require painful self-denial to switch from careless, idle habits to a course of study. But very soon the pleasure derived from the good habit will immeasureably outweigh the false pleasure derived from the bad habits.
 When the most successful of our present day leaders were youths the facilities for self-education were lamentably meager. Today, there are not only facilities but inducements on every side.
 The Practical Mining course offered by the Phelps Dodge corporation toi its employees will prove of extraordi- nary benefit to the young men of this district as well as ambitious techni- cal men. Watch the bulletin boards for announcement of opening date For further information see s. C. Dickinson, room g, Sparks-Klein build ing, or write Drawer G, Bisbee, Ariz.
 By becoming better educated than the average and by keeping your mind on helpful subjects you will not only qualify for higher financial rewards and for positions of wider responsi- bility and influence and power. but you will lay up for yourself riches which neither moth nor rust doth riches which will become beyond price to you in later life when the things which money can buy cease to satisfy and one must l find pleasure and satisfaction and 1 joy from the inward. not the outward, | life. In old age millions can do little | for a human being: the mind alone 1 can yield that which counts.

ROBERT RUFF

News was received here last Friday
of the death of Robert Ruff, aged
twenty years, at the home of his SIS
ter. Mrs. Ed White in Florence, Ala.
Robert had been ill with pneumo-
MIA for about week and although
all that loving care and medical skill
could do was done, the end came. At
his bedside were his sister, Mrs,
White and Mrs. w. I. Livingston,
George Ruff, brother, arriving later.
Robert was the youngest child OF
Mr.. G. H. and Mrs. Gengie Virginia
Ruff and was born at Plantersvllle,
living there until about six years OF
age, when his father died and the
family moved to Tupelo.
Although at this early age, deprived
of the loving care of devoted faith
er. Robert, being the youngest child,
was the pet of the household. While
Young he became member OF the
Presbyterian church and at the age OF
twenty had developed into splendid
type of young manhood.
He possessed singularly bright
and happy disposition and was much
loved for his many good qualities by
a large circle of trends. There must
indeed have been joyful meeting IN
heaven when the mother and father
welcomed their youngest son.
d. P. Ruff, Geo. Ruff and Lieut.. Joe
Ruff; Mesdames Livingston, White
and Mrs. L. J. Spencer, of Atlanta,
bGa., have the sincere sympathy OF
their many friends in their bereave-
ment.
