SCHOOL AT The S. U. |. OPENS

Iowa City, Nov. 15.-School for eigh.
ty-five cripple children began in the
University hospital this week.
Two rooms nthe seventh floor have
been furnished with adjusted seats
and with other equipment designed to
made study as comfortable as possible
for these children whose bodies are
undergoing repairs. Adjoining is gym
nasium in which the special physical
exercises to help correct defects are
given.
The cripple children do not recite
in groups or classes as the physically
sound youngsters OF the public schools
do. Educational experts of the univer.
sity have. organized instruction in this
school on plan of giving individual
attention to every pupil. Every child
Is a class.
The work is graded from kinder
garten to high school, but the children
advance through the grades as indi.
viduals rather than in groups. AS soon
as pupil shows evidence of ability to
do harder work in any subject he will
be advanced.
Two regular teachers have been EN-
ployed Miss Jane Howarth Of st.
Thomas, Ontario, will be general d.
rector and teacher of the higher
grades. Miss Howarth comes directly
from Cape Girardeau, Missouri. where
she has been for thelast six years the
supervisor of the grades in the
Missouri state normal. She is a
graduate of Iowa State Teachers col
lege and the University of Michigan.
Miss Miriam Chase, a graduate of
Iowa State Teachers college, will have
charge OF the lower grades.
One nurse from the hospital will
be assigned to each room to loop out
for the physical welfare or children.
The children will be in the school
room from 10 to IL in the morning
and from to in the afternoon. 1t is
expected that the special attention
every one will get will enable him to
make in three hours a day almost the
same progress that the public school
child does in enarly twice the time.
The school was organized by DR..
Ernest Horn, director of the univer-
ity's experimental school operated by
the college of education, and he will
continue to supervise it.
This school is not thing of the
moment" he says of it, "but an i'm
portant step in recognition of the
wonderful possibilities for educating
the crippled child.

in passing the senate because of the
rush of work at the last of the SEES
sion, is practically assured of pass

! In the teaching of vocational train
ing in the public schools in states
that will cooperate and extend state
aid also.
The committee of seven will doubt
less draft bill to be presented tt

Critical Time Now.

~The association feels that now is
the most critical time in the history
of prohibition in Iowa." one Of the
organizers said. 1T will fight any
movement to re.enact the mulct law
or any similar law or the passage OF
LIQUOR laws to go into effect case
of the rejection of the prohibitory
amendment"
The association also feels that pro-
vision for special election on the
prohibitory amendment would we'll
nigh insure its defeat. The officers
declare that in case of special cleo
ton the wet states near Iowa, ILL
nos, Missouri and Minnesota, will
"colonize" the state with voters pre-
yious to the election, and these, to-
gether with the light vote the single
issue will bring out in some OF the
dry" farming districts, will prove
disastrous to the cause.
The amalgamation also has the
purpose of doing away with dupli-
cation in the temperance work in the
state and will lower the cost OF car
diving on the work, thus allowing O
greater amount to be accomplished.
