Meat Market.

Babe Gill and Cal Ellis, both of
whom were formerly in the meat
department in the Waldorf Market,
on West Park street, have opened
their own shop on South Main street
with a full line of fresh and pre-
served meats and other staple goods.
Mr.. Ellis operated the Waldorf Mar
ket for IL years, Mr.. Gill being en-
ployed there. Gill will be remem-
bered by members of the Miners
Union as one of its members almost
since the time of its recreation in
1884. He is now a member of the
Meat Cutters organization, affiliated
with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen of North
America.
The public is cordially invited to
pay a visit to the new shop. You
will be treated with the utmost
courtesy.

would be able to send an answer
within a day or two, and that is
what we would like to do.
"You know, most states in which
mining is ar important industry have
state bureaus to assist and develop
the mineral industry. Montana's
mineral industry annually produces
from 40 to rs million dollars and the
state benefits from such a produc-
ton by taxes, %payrolls, purchase of
materials, and the maintenance of a
high standard of living, made pos
sible by the high wages paid in the
mineral industry. Mineral deposits
are wasting assets, that is, they are
constantly being depleted. There
fore, if new deposits are to be de-
veloped, scientific aid from the state
bureau is indispensable"
"How is the bureau maintained?"
we wondered.
1T receives its support from
money appropriated by the legisla-
ture. It's headquarters are here at
the School of Mines. Most Of the
field work, the geological investiga-
tions, are carried on during the sum-
mer months, by myself, the geology
teachers here CDR. Seager and DR..
Sloss, aided usually by student
%assistants), and by men from the
geology department at the State
University at Missoula. The publ
cations ire mimeographed here, the
mineral determinations are made in
school laboratories and the drafting
of maps and charts, the compiling
of statistics are all done here. We
do the best we can with the money
and material available but we are
anxious to do much more, and that
will be possible only if we receive
more financial support. We could
use, conservatively, about $4,000 a.
year more than we are getting now"
We looked at our watch. "Dr.
Perry, we meant to have you tell
us about the geology department to-
day but that will have to wait until
the next visit"
DR., Perry told us he would be
glad to give us all the information
we might need, so we will talk to
him again next week.

OUR CHANGING
WORLD
CAPITALIST EDUCATION
Nv Ida ~Crouch-Hazlett

The reaction against circus ath-
letics in colleges is well under way.
Eastern college papers say it has
left their classic shores and passed
on to the west. There are still left
some teachers of the higher learn
ing" who have entered their profess
sions from the love of knowledge
and its associations, and to whom
the enforced setting aside of educa-
tional standards in favor of winning
games has been excessively re-
pugnant. One such recently asked
the members of his faculty commit
tee whether they would pass a stu
dent below standard in his work,
but upon whom the reputation of
the college in competitive athletics
depended. The members hesitated
he said frankly that he would not.
The college paper at New York
University made SO open an attack
upon the policy of Chick Mehan,
for seven years the head coach, and
who was receiving a salary of $4,000
a year (while heads of departments
were receiving $4,000 or a little
more), that he resigned. The criti-
cism in the paper was as follows:
I'VE do not want Mr.. Meehan be-
cause Mr.. Meehan stands for a uni
versity policy of big time football
with all its corollary evils, recruit
ing of players, lavish entertainment
of prospects, subsidization of ath-
letes, athletic scholarships, and a
general drafting of students to the
university for the sole purpose of
playing football"
AT the beginning of this policy the
chancellor, Elmer Ellsworth Brown,
made the following announcement
in the course of an address:
''The game (referring to footbalD
i~nvigorates the life of the college.
Football may have gone too far in
some universities but in New
York University it has not gone far
enough"
i. New York University is the third
largest university in the world
10000 students. 1t is especially ia
vored by students of limited finan-
cial resources, seeking vocational
training with which they may earn
a living. The night attendance is
very large, composed mostly Of those
who are employed during the day.
More than 70 per cent of the stu
dents earn their expenses. A great
majority never see either the foot
ball game or the coach. These work.
ing students necessarily have a
working class attitude toward life
in which the Importance of games
has been, and will be, limited, and
N.Y.U. has been called a radical
school. There has been a feeling of
resentment in the student body
against the time, money, ana pres
tige lavished on football.
The result of the dissatisfaction
and the resignation of the coach has
been a new athletic policy, calling
for the elimination of all organized
recruiting and substituting of foot
ball players.
The Carnegie Foundation pub
lished a report two years ago, which
has led to a discussion of the sub
ject in every American college. It
was charged that 'cutthroat compe-
tition'' for prospective athletes was
general. Meehan was frankly en-
gagged by the Athletic Council to
advertise N.Y.U. The Carnegie re-
port charged the university with

A Personal Story Of The
School Of Mines and
lis Difficulties

Or. Perry, mead OF the Geology
department and chief geologist for
the Montana Bureau of Mines and
Geology, was busy answering letters
when we visited the School of Mines
yesterday.
"See here" he said, "this one is
from a farmer in eastern Montana
who plans to dig a well on his place
for water for his stock. He wants
to know if I can tell him how deep
he will have to 60, what his chances
are for striking water, and just
where the most favorable spot for
digging might be-"
"That sounds like a big order"
we rejoined, land how are you going
to tell him what he wants to know
at this distance?"
1T isn't so difficult as it seems.
We know the geological conditions
over there and we have a fair idea
of what beds are most likely to
carry artesian water. Simple mathe-
MATES will tell us about how far he
will have to go, and sometimes we
can give him an estimate of the
quality of the water, too. That is
part of the bureaus service-answer-
ing letters Of all kinds from farmers,
prospectors, business men, and other
people. We also maintain a free
service for the Identification of min
eral specimens. We receive thou
sands of them every year, not only
from Montana, but from all over the
United States and from foreign
countries, too.
1--WE could do much more if the
bureau had more money. Reports
are published from time to time on
the geology and mineral deposits of
different areas in the state but there
is a great wealth of material we
would like to publish and can't due
to lack Of money, equipment, and
staff members"
We asked our standard question,
What does the bureau need, DR..
Perry?"
First of all it needs a full-time,
experienced mining geologist whose
duty it would be to constantly visit
all the mines in the state, big and
little, developed and undeveloped,
and who would issue a yearly report
on all phases of Montana's mineral
industry. Associated with him there
should be one or two biologists to
make surveys and to assist in every
way possible the development of our
mineral resources. These men would
need equipment, especially some
light trucks, properly fitted for
travel over rough mountain roads.
More money should be made
available for the publication of re-
ports-bulletins, memoirs, reprints,
and miscellaneous contributions.
Even with our small staff we gather
material which we are not able to
publish. 1t should be made avail
able to the public, and it could be
if more money were available for
material and office help.
AOur mineral determination serv-
ice is highly popular with the people
of Montana, but quite often DR..
Thomson, as director of the bureau,
is forced to post a card to the sender
of a mineral specimen, saying that
the determination can't be made for
perhaps a week or ten days. We are
able to have a man do these deter
limitations only as part-time work,
and he is always extremely busy.
With a man working full-time we

most of the evils of the system
players recruited from preparatory
schools, a number of scholarships
set aside for them subject to the
coach, %sinecures, and other aids for
these players to keep them in col
lege, while the players had only a
nominal connection with the bona
fide life and purpose of a university.
What the left-wing party among
the students wants is that the game
shall belong to the actual students,
shall become ''intramural," that is,
confined to the single college, with
only occasional games with neigh
boring Institutions, and not used for
spectacular, money-making public
shows.
The real reason for the abnormal
development of college sports is the
essentially class character of the
university as it is today as only a
few have the opportunity of bene-
fitting by the sport, and the main
body of the students is deprived of
the exercise needed by all.
Gymnasiums and the physical care
of young and old should belong to
every community, and schools should
be confined to their especial pur-
poses. Sports have become the fad
of the well-to-do to provide the
exercise that the workers are sup
posed to get by their toll.
Now that the machines have so
largely displaced the workers, the
young members of the working
class are crowding into the uni
versities to get the vocational train
ing which they must have to make
a living. The universities respond
by offering all sorts of utilitarian
courses. Those teachers cultivated
in the fine arts take exception to
using the universities for such CLAP
trap" as they call it. All of which
portends the day which the students
of social welfare have long pointed
out-when the training of all the
people shall be universal from birth,
scientific, a preparation for all the
activities of life-and the result, a
san and highly developed mind in
a healthy and highly developed body.
A few opinions from college
papers on this subject might not be
amiss. The Columbia Spectator
says, intercollegiate football is an
academic nuisance; it should be
abolished" The Harvard Crimson
says, Zone of the greatest causes of
the transmutation of football has
been the news policies of the Ameri-
can newspapers. From September l
until the end of December every
year the newspapers are replete with
the daily doings of college football
squads. The public and the alumni
are more concerned than the stu
dent bodies" In these various pro
fessionalism" is attacked. State
ments are made that undergraduate
interest has failed, that collegiate
enthusiasm has been debunked,
that newspapers might well cease
their putting of the game. The Yale
Daily News says, $50 long as a col
lege continues to be evaluated by
its football team the reputation of
its scholarly standards will not adj
vance"
All which goes to show that the
commercialism of extraneous inter
ests in college is giving way before
the demands of the oncoming gen
Grafton for a real education.

port the body in the style to which it is accustomed. What you think of when you hear the term ''heart failure" is probably something dreadful and beyond ordinary com prehension, But that's because you take too seriously the fiction you read every day. It is too bad so much of it is fed to you, but l don't know how it can be helped now. When I was young and not averse to 8 little tussle now and then ! entered upon Quixotic cam paign to reform reporters and edi- tors, but when had encountered few windmills I fell back and decided I had better behave myself II had plenty of time to think about it, too, after they had printed few truthful items in the way I believed the story should be told. Of course there is acute heart failure-aeute dilatation and Ghren- ic heart failuFe-ehrenic dilatatien, or chronic degeneration of the heart muscle, chronic myocarditis, fatty degeneration.
 Acute dilatation of the heart that the one or more chambers of the heart become stretched, over filled with blood, fail to empty com pletely during heart-heat, contrae- tion, systole. This is g normal 0c- currence during any unusual or violent exertien, particularly the right yentricle which pumps blood to the lungs, With rest, following the effort, the heart recovers, pro- vided the effort or strain has not been too great or the state of the heart to begin with has not been defective. Sometimes in these eif- cumstances the heart suffers a strain from which it receyeEs slew ly, or never completely at all, so that the victim may be thereafter unable to undertake any severe ex- ertion or endure any physical strain.
 Something like that happens to a good many schoolboys who play football. In their teens boys are poorly equipped to attempt the se- were endurance contests which men
 
 of university age may safely with stand. High school football is g traVesty. an exploitation of the pre- cocity of undisciplined youth by the professional sport element. It IS in the schools, shame to say, but not of them. At least the qualified phy- sical education instructors are thrust aside and the quaek "eoach" with out any particular, training or au- thorization takes charge of the youngsters who are so susceptible as to go in for the s'team.'
 An athlete who is in full train ing may safely maintain g degree of exertion which would be impos- sible or dangerous # he were not carefully trained. This is the erux of the question. High school boys can scarcely get into full training in the space of 8 few weeks, even f it would be advisable for boys of that age to try.
