A body In the water is supported by
equal pressure Mt all points. 1t is

SCHOOL OF MINES
HAS LARGE ATTENDANCE

Socorro, n. M, Oct. with the
largest enrolment in its history the
New Mexico School of Mines at So
zorro opened on September IS for
what promises to be a most success
ful year.
The technical schools through the
country with the signing of the armis-
tice have had an unprecedented reg
istration and the local School of
Mines has enjoyed its full quota.
Most of the newcomers are discharg-
ed soldiers who, recognizing fully the
~uneXcelled natural advantages of the
school, are we'll aware of the present
urgent need OF capable engineers.
Students from no less than twenty
six states and nine foreign coun-
tries have availed themselves of the
uneNcelled opportunities offered at
this institution,
No profession offers better oppor-
tunities than the various branches of
mining, and since we are located in a
rich. but undeyeloped, section of the
country much attention should be
given to this important industry by
our high school graduates The
courses at Socorro are unusually we'll
selected and are done so with the
purpose of offering curricula which
will supply those branches of engi-
neering showing the greatest de
mands.
The school dormitory is o only
filled to its utmost capacity but is
oyercrowded for the present, Presi-
dent lllinski in order to accommodate
the many new students registering
daily has found it a pressing neces-
sity to erect additional spacious
quarters. These new structures are
only of temporary nature and il is
hoped that they will be replaced in
the near future by a large and at
tractive dormitory.
It is unquestionable that with the
present enrolment the New Mexico
STATE School of Mines will continue
as it has done in the past, to rank
with the foremost technical institu-
tions of the country.

enough about a wise educational
guidance to help boys and girls to
select those subjects of instruction
best suited to their own capacities
as well as to the great economic and
moral aims of society. AT the Uni
versity of New Mexico. this week a
simple but interesting innovation in
educational guidance is meeting with
the commentator of both students
and faculty. In Rodey Hall some
twenty tables have been arranged in
the form of a great horseshoe and
at each table sit responsible repre-
sentatives of each Department, SO
that all studies given in the Univer-
sity are adequately represented.
Before final registration the students
go to Rodey Hall and secure quickly
and by personal contact needed in
formation and guidance in making
up their curricula.
In addition to this provision for
personal conference and expert ad-
vice to students new and old. the
Committee on Curricula, of which
Professor Barnhart is chairman,
working in cooperation with Pre-
sident Hill has changed the require
ments in the Freshman Year so that
students will have better opportunity
TO select what they want and what
they need in addition to fulfilling
any basal requirements in English,
language and hygiene. Courses of
study made out by students guided
by the innovations mentioned above
are likely to have far reaching. bene-
fetal and highly popular results. The
step is an important one to help
in the better adjustment of the State
University meeting the needs of the
neoole

NINETEEN GOVERNORS
FOR ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL

New York, Oct. Civilian Boyce
Thompson, President of the Roose-
welt Memorial Association,
ced today that nineteen state exc
cutives have already become promin-
emily identified with the membership
campaign of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association, which takes place in the
week of October 20-27. Sixteen for
mer governors also are taking an
active part in the memorial move
ment.
These governors and former gov
ernors have taken up their work on
a strictly non-partisan basis. Their
sole desire is to bring about the
success oil a movement resulting IN
fitting memorials to The Great
American
As an evidence of the high esteem
in which Theodore Roosevelt was
held by state executives and the as
surance they have in the success of
the campaign, the following state
ment by Gov. Frank o. Lowden, of
Illinois, is quoted
81 feel certain that the campaign
inaugurated for the Roosevelt Me-
mortal Fund. will meet with a hearty
response. II will indeed be a sad
day for IA country when the peo-
pie shall forget to honor their ~
lustrious dead, And now is the time
for making that campaign. The
mere fact of calling attention in
these trying times 10 Theodore
Roosevelt. and the principles for
which he stood, will itself help to
improve the general situation. No
one can ask for money for the Me
mortal Fund without pointing out
the things associated with Roose-
velt's name, and those are the things
most needed now in our national life.
No one can give to that fund with
out recalling to himself the sturdy
Americanism, the doctrine of the
square deal, the simple. fundamental
virtues which formed the very warp
and wool of Roosevelt's daily life.
"Let the campaign go on! It's inn
portant.o of course, to raise the fund.
II is equally important that the num-
her of contributors shall be as large
as possible. The larger the number
which shall become partners in this
enterprise, the more hopeful will it
be for the future of our land.

ASK FOR BETTER
LOADING FACILITIES

The attention of the state corpo-
ration commission has been called
to insufficient loading and unloading
facilities at Los Lunas, where the
storage plant of the state highway
department is located. Much high
way equipment is received and shin
ped at this point. The matter had
been referred to F. Z Summers, sup
erintendent of the Rio Grande divi-
sdon of the Santa Fe Railway, but
no action had resulted. The high
way department has 81 trucks and a
number of heavy type caterpillar
tractors coming from the war de
partment. The unloading platform
is not strong enough to handle heavy
equipment of this character. The
department has much business in
and out of Los Lunas. The corpo-
ration commission will order better
facilities installed at once.
