Detroit, Mich.-The building pro-

The bridge was lowered when the

city. He was just in time to see the
workmen on their way home from the

treatment accorded to Mr.. Burdick will
be an action against the city of Detroit
for alleged improper arrest, as well as
the institution Of contempt proceed

sponsible for the construction Of the

At the moment he was seized and
hustled away the Detroit United off,

against the city, enjoining it from in
terfering with the street railway COM

stated that when he protested to the
officers upon being taken away, he was
informed that they had "orders" to do
what they were doing.
After reaching Belle Isle Mr. Bur-
dick was searched at the police sta
tion there and everything Of value
taken from him, he said, except his
glasses. He was Informed that he
was held for disturbing the peace"

The business world seems to have
reached a stand-still and everybody
is afraid to move. The aftermath
of war has forced people, both great
and small, into corner and they are
watching to see which way to go.
Extravaganza and reckless using of
money are one of the chief causes,
and those who have thus been prodigal
with their earnings. are the hardest
hit by the times.
Berea College, in times of prosper
ity as well as in periods Of depres-
sion, advocates economy and thrift.
This policy has enabled the Institu-
tion to bridge the most despairing
chasms that American history re-
cords. The school has gone through
all the panics since the Civil War
without a shutdown and today is
serving more people and covering the
largest geographical area within her
history.
Berea College Is striving to ac-
complish a two-fold purpose; namely,
to reach the maximum number of
people in the mountains of the South
and train them TO satisfy the great.
est needs Of the mountains.
II was the design of the great
builders Of Berea College to estab-
lish schools and courses to fit prac-
tically every natural demand Of the
mountains. As a result FIVE large
schools under the corporate name of
Berea College and Allied Schools
have been built up.
Berea College recognizes that the
center Of the universe is the home
and without the proper kind Of home,
civilization will go backward. In
carrying out this idea co-education of
the sexes is advocated and an at
tempt is made to keep the numbers
Of boys and girls well balanced.
To begin with, the Foundation
School has now enrolled $50 men and
1862 women. These boys and girls are
pursuing studies in the grades, as
the name would indicate. They are
not the ordinary grade children, but
rather are mature young men and wo-
men ranging from fifteen to thirty
years Of age, who have been deprived
Of early educational opportunities.

Berea College Moves on Just the Same

Next above the Foundation School
comes three parallel schools, all re-
ceiving students Of the same rank
but all leading in different directions.
These are the Vocational School, Nor
NAL School and Academy.
The Vocational School has in at
tendance 16s men and 10 men. This
School is made up Of trade and pro-
fessional courses two years in length
and the enrolment runs about as fol-
lows:
Business and Stenography $50 stu
dents, Home Science As, Agriculture
so, Motor Mechanics 40, Carpentry
Ia, Nursing IL, Weaving IL, Print.
ing 6.
These are professional students,
and this list does not include those
in other schools who are taking
Home Science and Agriculture as a
minor part of their curriculum.
The Academy has an enrolment of
262 men and 17S women. The ma
jority of the Academy students are
taking the preparatory course for
College, but some of them are TAX
ing courses preparatory to entering
business and other professions.
The Normal School has enrolled
1862 men and 22s women. This school
congratulates itself upon such a
large enrolment Of men preparing
themselves for teaching.
The rural teachers Of the United
States are predominately feminine,
but Berea Is exerting a powerful in
fiuence toward keeping up the man
power Of the profession.
The last and crowning school is the
College with its 100 men and sS wo-
men. The College requires Is units
Of preparatory work for entrance and
gives degrees in Arts, Philosophy,
Science and Education.
The total enrolment Of the entire
institution is 992 men and 766 wo-
men, besides the Training School Of
so boys and SO girls.
Under the guiding Hand of Prov
idence Berea is rapidly realizing her
ideal-that of sending thousands Of
trained soldiers into hundred lines
of service.

The American dollar continues to
dominate the countries of the world,
and to command larger amounts of
the currency of European countries.
Among other reasons are to be found
the uncertainty that follows the
