THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An independent Newspaper issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager Subscription rate in No. Orange-co: Per year, 12, six months, $1.25 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., on second class matter. News from Mexico is swinging back toward that which has been normal for the last ten years. They are plotting revolutions and the assassination of President Obregon. Whatever can be done to make coastwise navigation safer along these Pacific shores should be done, and that without delay. There are too many disasters in these waters, and the feeling of common that the greater number of the catastrophes here are preventable. The animosities of the World War will not pass away wholly for a long, long time. But they are passing, as to extreme bitterness, much more rapidly than would have been the case a few generations ago. Mankind is more closely knitted together now than ever before. Approach the opening day of school is not reviewed with the consternation and abhorrence that moved kids in generations ago. The schoolroom no longer is a chamber of horrors to children. School work is made so attractive that children actually long to go back to it. Thus much as it has taken the United States three years to make peace, it is to be hoped that it will be at lease three hundred years before anything threatens to break the peace gain. Three hundred years hence mankind should be progressed sufficiently to prevent all war by the arbitrament of reason. While nobody has a patent in any effectual plan of keeping naturally dry min from becoming petulant, peevish and grouchy, ye there is many a good matured, tactful wife who can and does convert a miserable husbandly disposition into something approaching what a man's disposition should be. The fact that it is impossible to plan and execute swindles totaling $50,000,000 or more, and that many men supposedly among the shrewdest in the country are victimized, is rather sorry commentary on the business acumen of American men of big affairs. It too often is true that a smooth swindler can float his schemes with the help of outside capital whereas the honest man cannot get the financial backing that he needs. That inquiry into the dirigible horror in England should be thorough and fearless, as it doubtless will be An American representative will sit on the inquiry with Britons, and the whole truth should be disclosed in the investigation. If there were defects in construction of the dirigible, the truth should be known. The tragedy should have the effect of making such craft safer in future by pointing the way to the overcoming of structural defects. The names "Logan" and "Mingo," applied to West Virginia counties, bring up the romantic historic associations. Logan, of the Mingoes, was one of the most celebrated Indian chiefs of the early days—a man of more than savage attainments—an orator and a leader imbued with noble sentiments. Too bad that the white man, holding himself superior to the red man, should be engaged in bloody class war on the scenes once the home of Chief Logan and the Mingoes. The nation's winter wheat crop promises to be of immense proportions, ranking fourth among vast yields. The farmer is not on strike nor will his industry go by the board because, temporarily, market conditions have not favored him. He is too game—too good an American, and too plucky to give up in despair. He will go on planting and harvesting on a gigantic scale. FULLERTON H. S.

S. TO OFFER OIL COURSE By Alexander Anderson Most of our readers know that the Fullerton Union High School district includes a great deal of oil country. This accounts for the fact that more than half the funds on which the school is maintained come from assessment on oil land values. Surely it is then natural for the school to give some course for students who may intend to go into the oil business, and to assist practical oil workers. Importance of Oil Industry Bring to the continual growth of the number of automobiles, tractors, land and marine internal combustion engines, and oil fired boilers, the importance of the industry is steadily increasing and altho, at the present moment it is affected by the post-war world trade depression, its future seems assured. The Oil Business as a Career The outlook for steady and remunerative employment of any man who has a good all round knowledge of any branch of the oil business is bright. In the near future there will be a large demand for experienced young men for foreign jobs, and, owing to this demand, this demand is felt in corporations are now taking areas of oil lands in countries all over the world and the development of these concessions will undoubtedly employ a large number of Americans, mostly young men. Besides these corporations, there are British, Dutch and French oil companies operating all over the world and employing a fair proportion of Americans at good salaries. It may be confidently stated that at the present time there is no business that offers better prospects to a thoroughly healthy, strong and well educated young man, whose taste run to machinery, etc., provided he is willing to go in at the bottom and work his way up. There is no royal road in this or in any other kind of mining business, and, if a lad wants an easy time after leaving high school, he had far better stay out of the oil business. Changing Conditions in Oil Business The following brief remarks show how school education is more and more becoming necessary. Only a few years ago, very little field data was kept and little in the way of office records or figures was that any lad or any practical oil worker will soon catch up those nine months when he goes to work. Program for Course The course commences on the 12th of Sept. and ends about the middle of June. First Quarter, mornings, 4 hours per day. Survey, levelling and map course. This course will consist of lectures, field work and calculations. It will include the construction of a complete contoured plan of a producing lease, showing wells, gas, oil and water lines, tanks, buildings, roads, power lines, etc. The course will also include menuration and the strapping of tanks and a complete study of the work of a quarter in the field. In addition some miscellaneous field and lecture work will be done. Afternoons—2 hours per day. The time will be divided between chemistry, physics, machine drawing and forge and machine work, and these subjects will be arranged according to the needs of individual students. Objects of First Quarter's Work Surveying is the basis of almost all construction work and is also useful in dealing with well logs and other oil field subjects. At the end of this quarter a student should be able to read any kind of map, plan or blue print, run a grade for a road, run a grade for a pipe line, lay out levels for a foundation, measure off any angle with a tape, etc. Those students who had a good school education before taking the course should be able to execute land surveys, etc. The afternoon subjects are of a general character: some of them will be optional and all will be arranged to suit the needs and capacities of individual students. Second Quarter Mornings—4 hours per day. Rock and mineral course. The course will commence with a short resume of geology. This will be followed by lectures, field and laboratory work, to enable the student to name or classify rocks and the commoner minerals. The last part of the course will include the collection and examination of samples of sludge from drilling wells and instruction in describing them. Some experimental demonstrations of the laws of settling of rock fragments in water and mud fluid will be given. The elements of petroleum geology and peg models will be explained and some miscellaneous reading done. Afternoons—2 hours per day. Subjects similar to those for the after- Changing Conditions in Oil Business The following brief remarks show how school education is more and more becoming necessary. Only a few years ago, very little field data was kept and little in the way of office records or figures was handled by a foreman or even a divisional foreman. But, today, even a head well puller has to make out daily records of the exact work done on each well, while a divisional foreman may have to plot curves showing the daily production of oil and water of each of the many wells of his division and keep these curves right up to date. All this paper work arises from the introduction of scientific methods: An accurate and complete history of each well is found to be of great value in ascertaining the underground causes of variations in production, and in the study of water conditions, and it is by these means that the life of the older oil fields is being prolonged and large economies in pumping and other expense achieved. The well log data recorded by the drillers is the basis of much of the above and is of great importance, both in to the exact accuracy of the measurements of depth, and the correct description of the rocks and oil and water showings passed through in the formations penetrated by the drill. What Oil Production Course Aims At The object of our course is to prepare boys to learn the oil business and to assist practical oil workers to improve their education to fit them for promotion in the business. We do not aim to teach the work that can be learned by experience in old field; there is no need for us to refresh. Our aim is to provide a use-committee composed of education and inpe, Mrs. Green, Mrs. Coffield, yet not Mrs. R. S. Gregory, Mrs. a man after he Raw bones are being used; the lad glue by a treatment with blee time at dioxide, the fat being remoresent plan, benzine and the mass being a complete water under pressure. And we think THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DE ALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Mornings—4 hours per day. Applied mechanics and motive power course. Subjects: steam engine, gas engine, pumps, steam boiler, air compressor, etc. Lectures and practical and experimental work in the engine room and boiler house. Such things as the amount of gas used to generate 20 horsepower continuously for an hour.—by gas engine, and 2—by gas fired steam boiler and steam engine. These figures will be discussed and the reason for them traced. Twenty brake horse power will then be developed for an hour by an electric motor and the current used will in turn be compared with the first results. Many other things along these lines will be taken up. The theory and construction of different kinds of oil well pumps and air compressors, etc., will be taken up. Nearly all the results of calculations during this course will be obtained by plotting on squared paper and a minimum amount of mathematics will be used. Afternoons — 2 hours per day, Chemistry and physics relating to the morning's work, and some dimension sketching and forge work, arranged to suit individual students. Objects of Third Quarter's Work It is hardly necessary to explain these. The student should acquire a lot of useful knowledge on both the practical and theoretical side of the subjects dealt with. Our engine room will contain gas and steam engines of oil field types, as well as electric motor, air compressor, steam boiler, pumps, etc. It is intended to erect a band wheel and walking beam in order to handle oil well pumps outside the engine house. Fourth and Last Quarter Mornings—4 hours per day. The work of this quarter will begin by taking up any gaps in the first three quarters' programs. A short practical course in the flow of oil in pipes will then be given. Some tanks are to be arranged at different elevations for this purpose, and the flow of oil in gallons per hour will be measured under similar conditions thru different sizes of pipes. We are anxious to do all we can to help any man who has practical experience in the business. We think his experience will partly make up for lack of school education, so we are willing to give him a place in the class and do our very best to help him. It makes no difference to us whether a man is married or single and we have no age limit. Is this like a university course? Our course, which takes nine months, can hardly be compared with the four or five or six years that a university course takes. We aim to give full value for the time spent with us, and if a high school graduate will take our course and then work for one or two years in the fields (say beginning as a slumper and ending up as a tool dresser) we think he will then be in the very best position to go to a university. This plan may not be best for everyone, but we think that it is wise to get a knobledge of practical things early in life. "Then why not go straight to work?" Well, that may be alright, but we have given our views above. "Then the fellow who has only had your nine months course, or even no course at all, will forever be away behind the man who has been four or five years at the university?" No, we have never been able to see any kind of rule like this in life. We know contractors with very little book learning who are making plenty of money, and we know university men who are doing fine. There are, however, plenty of both classes for whom life is a hard struggle. We don't pretend to lay down any rules, but we are acquainted with some oil workers who know a great deal about the business yet need some school training before they can get any more promotion. We would like to have a chance to talk to some of these men. How much will it cost to attend the oil course? There are no charges for anything at the school. The student must however pay for the paper he uses and for a few small things of that kind. Most, if not all, the travelling we will do in going to see local plants will be done in the school motor ambulances. Of course every student will pay his own living expenses. We shall be glad to reply promptly to any enquiries on these or any other points.

A short practical course in the flow of oil in pipes will then be given. Some tanks are to be arranged at different elevations for this purpose, and the flow of oil in gallons per hour will be measured under similar conditions thru different sizes of pipes. From these results curves will be constructed to show the underlying laws. Measurements of the effect of introducing one or more “Ts” elbows and bends, etc., will be made. The remainder of this quarter will be occupied with descriptions of drilling and producing methods at different local properties and visits to these properties. A series of descriptions and visits to local refineries, gasoline plants, tank farms, pumping stations, railroad loading racks, marine bunkering equipments and tank steamers, will conclude the course. Afternoon’s Work—2 hours per day. It is not proposed to list any special subjects for afternoon’s study at present. Many of the visits mentioned above will take the whole day, and some afternoons will be given to descriptions of the next plant for visit. Any afternoons that are available will be filled by study of miscellaneous subjects and by finishing the course of reading that will have been running throughout the year. Objects of Fourth Quarter’s Work Like the work of the third quarter, the program for this one explains itself. It should be a very interesting experience for all concerned and a great deal of information will be gathered. Is there a refinery branch to this course? No, not at present. We intend to think about starting one, and we may have something ready for next year. Meantime the refinery end of the business is not arranged for in this year’s course. We should be glad to receive suggestions on this subject. Who is eligible to take the course? Either the applicant must have graduated from high school or he must have had at least one year’s practical work in some branch of the industry or in a supply house. We do not think that boys who have no experience in the practical end of the work and who have not graduated from high school would get much out of the course. How about oil workers who have not been to high school? Oil Production Course Fullerton Union High School and Junior College COMMENCES ON SEPT 12TH How much it cost to attend the oil course?
