InEbIDAY, JITNE 7, 1944 Steidle Cites MI Future; Society Passes Constitution The future of the Mineral Industries School depends on the student body; the faculty heads of the departments, and the general supervision of the (lean's office, Dean Edward M. Steidle stated at the meeting of the MI Society Tuesday. A new constitution, revising the society's governing body and setting up new membership rules, was approved follow ing the talk. Dean Steidle named the six objectives of the school which, all together, should result in the benefit of the commonwealth, the final objective. First, the min eral resources are developed, then the mental capacity and in itiative of the people, education and research are carried on, ap plioation is made of technologies and technical skills, manufacture adds value, and productive work is utilized. Mineral Industries has three bases. The earth, consisting of land masses, air, and water, fur nishes the three fundamentals of existence. It is the source of all primary wealth. Minerali, which are non-replaceable, furnish 60 to 70 percent of the wealth in the United States, and 67 percent of Pennsylvania's wealth. Sev erity of the 92 elements occur as metals or as constituents of min erals Functions " Resident instruction with competent leaders under t h e dean's supervision is the first of the functions of Mineral Indus tries. Research, which develops new technology, is taken care of by experiment stations. Exten sion and correspondence, which developes skills, are handled by extension services. The carrying out of these functions was a pro vision of the Land Grant Act, since until 1863 most skilled and technical workers had been im ported. The subject matter of Mineral Industries is divided into 12 di visions: geology,geography, geo physics, meteorology',' mineralogy, mineral economics, mining, min eral preparation, petroleum and natural gas, fuel technology, met allurgy, and cenamics. These • have been grouped under three departments, earth se i e n c e s, which will : be' headed by a geol ogist, mining engineering, under a mining engineer, and mineral technology,„under an igneous physical chmist.

There are now 400,000 more telephones and Long Distance calling has steadily increased even though the war is over.
