ned to give thorough instruction in
any subject taught in the school
here and is only too glad to spend
a large amount of time in assisting
students with their work. The
school has greatly benefited men
who have attended it and Professor
Lincoln called attention to the fact
that these secondary schools are the
only institutions where men with
out high-school educations are ac-
cepted and that, considering the APP
preparation for their support and
the attendance, each student re-
ceives an education worth several
hundred dollars at absolutely no
cost to himself.
The school here is equipped for
the teaching of any subject connect
ed with the mining industry and.
while the purchase of a few text
books is desirable, even this is
unnecessary, as the text books will
be supplied students without cost.
Independent of the salary of Pro-
fessor Hofmann and only for equip
ment and supplies, $4,000 was APP
propriated for the support of the
Goldfield school for two years and
less than half of this amount has
been spent However, Professor
Lincoln said that if the school were
to be maintained here it would be
necessary for the attendance to
show an increase to from 5 to 20
students. He said he wanted the
school maintained here for the ben
eft of both employers and en-
ployes.
He mentioned a big demand at
present for mine foremen and said
there were plenty of first-class men
in this district and that a SIN"
amount of special training, to be
obtained at the mining school with
little effort, would fit the men to
make big money in any mining
state.
During his visit, the head of the
schools conferred with mine man
ayers and superintendents and start
ed a campaign of publicity through
which it is hoped to arouse greater
interest in the school and in this
way increase the attendance.
New courses arranged during the
vacation period provide for less in
struction from text books and re-
suit in the courses holding the in
terest of any student with ordinary
ambition.
The courses include fitting men
for every position in mining and
milling up to assistants to cyanide
metallurgists and assistants to flo
tation metallurgists. Men are in
structed to become assayers, solu
ton men, cyanide mill foremen, flo
tation foremen, smelter foremen,
geologists' assistants and ordinary
machine men.
Professor Hofmann may be found
at the school of mines on the west
side of town every day and is anx-
ious to discuss any subject with
prospective students.

Your loving son,

WALTER.
 The slogan in France among the Americans is, Heaven, Hell, or Ho- boken by Christmas, and Berlin or Bust,' according to Private Dick" Catferty, in a letter to his sister, Miss Anna Cafforty, of Bank street. His letter is as follows:
 Dear Sister:
 Just a few lines to let you know that I am alive and kicking. I have now been in the trenches a week and everything is well. I had a fine rest for about two weeks and I am now back here TO do my bit. This front is not as active as it might be, but be- HeVe me, there is something doing most of the time. The American boys are now showing the Germans what they are made of and if they keep up the good work, it looks good for me to be home by Christmas. I hope so anyway The slogan over here is: Heaven, Hell or Hoboken by Christ mas, and Berlin or Bust.
 The Allies have the Germans on the run everywhere. The first time we were up to the front line we had the French with us but this time the Am erlcans are fighting in a division of their own, The French are a fine bunch to fight with, and they are not a1rald of anything. We may be moved rom this sector soon, so don't be sur prise Ii you do not hear from me reg ularly. There are plenty of things I would like to tell you, but we are not all0Wed to write everything and 1t Keeps fellow guessing just what to put in his letters.
