Whoever looks at business as some-
to play with is afflicted with
latism. Business is not some-
tor the thoughtless, the indo-
lonxr^ot the unimaginative.
Business has come to be a very
carefully scientized occupation. It
is subject to rules quite as definite
a*e the laws of engineering or
[-medicine. If it were not true that
business is complicated, difficult and
exacting, the present economic sit-
uation would not be so extremely
troublesome. We have all violated
the fundamental principles of busi-
n |neas- we have gotten into a dilema

LC°ra Mr'rr°W WaS'«‘t* ourselves. TK* government of
the United States is not troubling
itself about the professions because
the professions and all other human
activities follow in the wake of busi-
ness. ______
^jA_few years ago we went on a
business debauch. We started to
celebrate the flow of wealth into the
United States and concluded that
“easy money” would be with us for-
ever. To escape from our difficulties,
we need more than ever business in-
telligence and that results from the
atudy of business problems which
can best be made in the business
school.
Realizing how exacting and scien-
tific business has -become, we are
specializing in stressing the essen-
tials and avoiding technicalities.
Let us send you our catlog telling
you something about the opportuni
ties there are in business.

Palestine October 24.—The stac-
cato rhythm of man-handled ham-
mers as they pounded nails into
rough yellow pine was heard at Long
Lake Sunday, as building of a new
oil town near the Tide Water Sea-
board discovery well fcot under way.
Oil field workers and others were
throwing up improvised living quar
ters in rough one-room box houses;
while the name “New Deal” painetd
in crude black letters had been
erected on the new townsite.
Office for the new town was the
first structure to be completed and
a sign nearby dears the advertise-
ment “Lots for Sale.” A street has
been graded through the site and
connects with the Long Lake Road
at Highway 43. A store and a cafe
were the first business houses to
erected, but more were in prospect. ,
“New Deal,” it appears, will serve
as headquarters for hundreds of oil
field laborers and others who follow
an oil boom. The townsite is located
half a mile east of the Trinity Rivet
bridge on Highway 43, and about
one mile from the discovery welL
Oil well supply houses, hamburger
stands and various forms of conces-
sions are expected to soon make the
town a thriving village
