modern cOnveniences are growing
up in a few months. The large
railroad companies are building
spurs into every section to reach
the supplies of coal, timber and oil.
Roads and other forms Of construc-
ton give evidence Of activity. The
agricultural resources are being
stimulated TO furnish food and other
necessities for the communities
Finer stock is being introduced on
farm and dairy. Fruit orchards are
being planted on the hillsides. The
Mountain Section is coming to its
own. The boys are coming back
from Europe and the war, intent on
better conditions of life.
All of these changes are a direct
and distinct call to the people for
better education. The competitions
Of life will be keener. If the peO-
pie of the Mountains are to have
advantage of the resources of their
own section they must be prepared
TO secure them. Otherwise they will
pass TO others. The unfit men and
women must fall behind. The finest
resource of the Mountains is the

A COLLEGE COURSE FOR THE
MOUNTAIN BOY AND GIRL
WHY MOTT

Berea College exists for the peO-
pie of the Mountain Section of the
South. Friends from every part OF
the country have given money for
its buildings and equipment. The
Institution is widely known and
honOred. IL has sent out into the
world a large number of men and
women who have been successful
and are now holding positions of
Importance in every line. IL is an
established College, one with 4
noble history and successful record.

men in the nation. 1t can take care

Can I Secure a Certificate on the
Record Of My Work Done at
Berea1

Yes: the State Board Of Regents
for Normal School Inspection, APP
pointed by Governor Stanley under
the law of 1918, inspected Berea
Normal School on October 18th and
5th. Their report 10 the State
Board Of Education recommended
that the Elementary and Intermed-
late Certificates be granted TO stu
dents of Berea Normal School on the
same conditions as they have beer
granted to students of the State

education gets more costly in other
places. These courses of study are
adapted to meet the needs. A course
Of two years length may be had by
those who can stay no longer, a
course Of four years by those who
can stay. Teachers of merit and
character are employed and the
equipment is being increased every
year. 1t is possible to select sub
iect or group of subjects and go
into them thoroughly.
The advantages Of the College are
not confined TO the courses Of
study. Contact with ambitious
young people from nearly every
part of the Mountain Section and
some from other parts of the United
States and even foreign countries

people who live there. But they
must awaken to the needs of the
hour. And they are.
There must be more and better
education for all. The spirit Of
democracy demands that all should
have an opportunity. An education
helps everyone. There is now a
distinct call for men and women
who have a larger education than
the graded school or high school
can give. There is a call for col
lege men and women, in the Noun
tains. They are needed for teachers
i'm the schools. The schools of to-
morrow will demand better teach
ers than those of yesterday. They
must be thoroughly prepared. The
teacher is a great factor in every
community and much more is to be
required of him than keeping
school College men and women
are needed to supply the doctors,
lawyers, and government officials
in every Mountain County of the
South. Old fashioned doctors and
lawyers have done good work but
the science of medicine has advance
ed and there are new ways. Law
making has brought into existence
new laws and new ideals of law
which IL more important. The
government is doing many things
that it never has done before and
that calls for new and well trained
officials College men are needed
to do the work in construction that
railroads and mines make necessary.
Farm demonstrators are being
called for in larger numbers than
can be supplied and the same is
true of Home Science teachers and
Vocational teachers of various
kinds. The great Y. NJ. C. A. move
ment is reaching out into the coun-
try life and calls for secretaries.
They must be good men and well
prepared. The positions are too
responsible for any other kind.
Recently the Red Cross Society,
which has been so mighty a factor
in the war, has turned its activities
to country problems and is calling
for men and women to do its mag
nilicent work There must be work
ers in every county of the Noun
tains, who may make available every
helpful agency in social life TO the
remOtest corner of the Mountains !
And much more than this might be
SAID. But enough has been given
to show that the Mountains have q |
place for College men and women,
who want to work and serve man
kind, as well as make success of
life. And there will be plenty to
reward the efforts of those who
take these places.

why they succeed. They learn how

know how TO direct and help them.

Invitation
Bcrea invites only those who be-

and aims of the Institution.
The following are some chief aims
Of Bcrea:
Its first cndcavor Is to give MS
students the benefits of the Chris
tian religion - the truths held by
all Christians apart from sectarian
teachings - and II expects all to
attend daily worship and regular in
Slruction in the Bible.
II was founded with the express
purpose Of making the best educa-
tion possible for those " smallest
means. Believing that simplicity
and economy are important things
in education 1t insists upon them
in all the arrangements Of school
life. II also believes that some
manual labor is a proper part Of
education a. we'll a. a help in self
support
Berea places great emphasis upon
high scholarship. clcvating recrca-
tions and the care Of bodily health.
II provides the best instruction,
very rare facilities IN the way Of
library. laboratories. etc, gymna-
stun. outdoor sports. and the care
of nurse and physician. II abso-
litely prohibits the use Of intoxi
cants and tobacco, and IN general
provides for a well regulated rather
than self-indulgent school life.
II you plan to come to Bcrea. send
four dollars 10 the College Secretary
and ask him 10 reserve a room in
the dormltory for you. Do not come
to Berea, expecting to enter. unless
you have promise from the Secre-
tsry that you can have a room.
There will be an unusual number
of students, entering Berea this fall,
and should you come without en-
gazing a room in advance, you are
running the risk of being unable to
secure room.

Does Berea Normal School Meet NY
Needsl
Berea Normal School directs its
attention especially to the prepara-
ton Of teachers for the one-teacher
rural school We do this because
of the unusual demand at present
for rural teachers and also because
Of our belief that the well equipped
teacher for the rural school has an
excellent foundation for any form
Of teaching.
In connection with Berea Normal
School there is well-equipped
Training School in charge of
specially trained teachers where
students Of the Normal School may
observe in practice the best methods
Of teaching the common school
branches in a graded school. We
have also two rural schools located
three miles and four miles respect
lively from the Normal School cam
pus, TO which our students are
carried in automobiles for the pur-
pose of observing the best methods
of organizing, managing and teach
ing a one-teacher rural school.
The courses offered in Berea Nor
NAL School includes review Of the
common school branches, special
courses in School Organization and
Management. the regular High
school and Academy subjects of

In August. 1914. the city of Lens in
northern France was n prosperous
community Of close TO 10000 people. It
was known rs the Pittsburgh OF
France. nnd Its coal fields were the
one great source OF supply of fuel for
the nation. It's steel and iron mills
supplied much OF the material for
French railroads, shipbulllng ana
other Industries. Its people were In

All that Is left OF Lens today is IA
crumbllng pile OF debris. No Single
wall of the city is stlll standing and
hardly n piece OF wall as much MS
ten feet square can be seen amid the
terrible ruins. Both the buildings
and the machinery of it's factories are
gone completely. Its coal mines are
flooded and the machinery with which
they were operated has been destroyed.
And all this because Germany start
ed a war for the purpose OF conquest;
war in which no principle other than
that OF sellshness was involved. To
