inx loan funds and feel It Ii the very
best work they do. \
The need Of college education for
gisls IL every year more apparent None

now admit Q student unless she has q
college degree, and the number Of
would-be teachers who fail to pass the
examinations shows the need Of the
course In the State Teachers College.
Loan funds were started in the Third
ana Eleventh districts in Iowa last
year, ana the club women were enthu-
siastic over the success of the project.
