Opportunities Attractive.
Opportunities for women In account

Because of the tendency over many
years for girls to take up secretarial
courses In preference to bookkeeping
and accounting there are relatively few
women available for business positions
which require advanced accounting
training. While women entering public

three years the movement for Imita-

"fhe time has come in modern So

power of the people, there must be
more time for the pursuit Of the avoca-

people for the intense activity in which
they must engage during the time they
spend to further the work of the world.
Time was when one day q week set

necessary In modern society to add to

Truly q new deal in education is
ours. The school, and not the factory,
Is to be the training ground for our
boys and girls. Well regulated hours
Of labor with corresponding periods OF
leisure await those who are actively
engaged in the Nations business. The
hand Of opportunity Is extended to
every ambitious citizen.
Southeastern University's program OF
studies fits admirably into the new
scheme of affairs. From z O'Clock In
the morning to 10 O'Clock In the eve
ming classes are in session for both
men and women. II one is interested
in professional law he has q choice OF
three sections: Z am, $50 am. or
$50 pm. II accountancy Is his call
ing, he may attend classes at $50
am, $50 pm. or 7:30 pm. High
school and grammar school subjects are
offered day and evening. Shorthand,
typewriting, mechanical, architectural
and structural drafting are given at
hours convenient to the student. Even
to those whose hours Of employment
are irregular, classes are so staggered
that q student may attend one week
during the day, the following week at
night.
The purpose Of the university is to
make available to all who have caught
the spirit of the New Deal an oppor-
tunity to prepare for the better days
ahead. We can best support our
President and the Nation by taking
advantage Of these opportunities now.

that failure can only lead to some
unknown disaster proportionate to the
elemental forces Of despair and the
depths Of suffering that will then be
revealed. An empty stomach has no
ears for excuses.
The N r. A. may we'll be the last
stand of democracy In the United States.
Like every desperate remedy it con-
tains bitter medicine which must be
swallowed if the patient must live. He
need not submit If he SO chooses.
In that case he must accept the alter
native, which in the present case would
seem to be nothing short Of national
suicide since no other remedy Is in
sight.
There is an evident obligation, there
fore, devolving on education to face the
issue fearlessly and honestly. No COL
lege or university which undertakes to
prepare its students for the realities Of
life can evade these compelling social,
economic and political problems pre-
sented by life in 1888. Present-d day
students are witnessing history In the
making. BY Natures laws they viii
shortly become the makers Of history
themselves. They should be given every
opportunity to observe, interpret and
understand the revolutionary changes

the earthquake in values and the new
burdens which social changes are con.
stantly adding to the shoulders Of edu-
cation, will require new and more
equable methods Of financing schools.
Specifically the Government recov-
cry program affects education in many
ways. The ban on child labor in the
industrial codes win make approx
mately 100, 900 young people candidates
for enrolment in high school. In some
States high school attendance will he
compulsory for those released from
industry: in other States it will be VOL
untary. Part-time schools. in which
young people alternated between indus
trial or trade employment and the
class room, will be affected also. Build

ects eligible to receive public works

ative sharing Of the responsibilities for
the welfare of American citizens: Of the
withdrawal of more and more young
people from industry into the schools;
of new interpretations of the meaning
of freedom; and Of emphasis on CO.
operation instead of competition.
These and other changes will shift
the perspective Of education. School
athletics and school studies and activi-
ties must be redirected toward prepar-
ing young people to enjoy their adult
life with maximum satisfaction as well
as to be trained cooperating workers.
Civics, history, government and eco
nomics courses will have to be over
hauled to bring them up to date. Adult
education will come to the fore rapidly.
Our educational system itself, while
well advanced on the road Of cooper

Of service to America that can be only
achieved by common effort. Moreover,

rivers in the Northwest. F7ota-
ton tests show gold recovery
as high as 97.3 per cent.
The method of the flotation
process is simple; it centers on
the fact that fine gold can be
made TO float on water, al
though it normally sinks if the
water is not in rapid motion.
The gold-bearing sand or the
crushed ore to be recovered
is placed in a vessel or cell
filled with water. 4 small
amount of reagents, chemicals
like sodium carbonate, sodium
amyl xanthate, or sodium aero
float, are added to the mixture.
The gold particles - and
sometimes the sulphides and
the copper and lead associated
with gold-collect these re-
agents and thereby acquire a
dry" tendency toward water,
like paraffin. Bubbles are
then introduced into the water,
and the mixture is stirred. The
dried" particles attach them
selves to the bubbles, because
they tend to repel the water.
Some fOaming agent, like pine
oil, is then added to produce
an intense froth which collects
on top of the mixture.
The rising bubbles discharge
their tiny cargoes Of fine gold
in this froth, which is then
skinned off. This concentrate
is washed again to rid it Of inn
purities and foreign substanc-
Is; then it is dried. Unless
The gold is very free, the con-
,entrate is sent to the smelter,

Gold mining has also been
a God-send to the unemployed
in the western states as it has
sent thousands of the idle arm
ed with picks, shovels, pans
and sluiee boxes into the
mountains and valleys. At the
Bureau of Mines at Washing
ton one expert estimated that
100000 men are now engaged
in such labor as compared with
perhaps 1000 before the eco

While the amount Of gold
