Fifteen backward children from all
sections Of the state will be brought
to the university to be studied and

ed the entire state to find the kind
Of children that may be best used to

teachers the methods Of instructing
the backward child who is found in
almost every school.
The class will be conducted by
Josephine Thomas of the Indianapolis
public schools. In the early part Of
the course she herself will teach the
class to demonstrate the proper
procedure to follow, but later the
children will be turned over to the
individual students In the course AT
the beginning Of the course every
member in the class will be given
one particular child to observe and
instruct, under the direction of Miss
Thomas.
The children will be, required to
spend the forenoon in the class room.

the department of home economies.
and for an hour after noon they will
be allowed to sleep. During the re-
mainder of the afternoon instruction

quiring both. mind and muscle.

at once to have the state Of Iowa
pull it's chestnuts out of the fire.
The chief ground on which the
holding up of the cantonment here
was made was entirely inadequate
railroad facilities to Camp Dodge
where the cantonment was to be ON
a thousand more acres Of land bought
by the state last winter There is
a single track electric road to the
camp, twelve miles from the city.
During the mobilization here last
July this road proved to be entirely
inadequate to transport troops or
supplies. On some occasions 1t took
practically day to carry company
of soldiers from the railroad stations
down town to the camp, or from the
camp to the steam road tracks. Sup
plies of the quartermaster's depart
ment were also held up for long
times on many occasions.
The solution of this il easy, how

WASTED FOOD
MAY WIN WAR
Herbert Hoover, Director, Appeals to
Pastors to Help Him Bring
Home Need for
Economy.
Herbert c. Hoover, ma


ton food director, mailed
~ today a letter to 100000
pastors OF Individual
thurches, protestant, Catholic and
Jewish, calling on them to cooperate
With him and with the department OF
agriculture in urging the largest pos
able production OF food and the
smallest possible amount of waste.
rAs a minister of. Cod" writes Mr.
Hoover, "a leader of the people and
lover Of liberty and of your fellow
men, your cooperation is earnestly
desired and greatly needed. In such
q time as this the people naturally
turn to the church. 1t will be a
calamity to the nation and to the
! churches if their chosen ministers
neglect to exercise their proper lead.
ership in the great cause of feeding
q world in need For the world Is
IN want of food.
TO meet the needs Of the war and
Of the world, we must produce gen.
erously, give freely to our allies. our
selves cat as much, but no more than
We need, and especially save the
waste. Lasting disgrace will fall
upon us If lack Of self-restraint
should prevent us from taking our
proper part in this great conflict
against the doctrine of might makes
right"
Mr.. Hoover, estimates the annual
waste of food at one billion dollars.
ne urges larger use Of corn and
corn bread in the family ration.
The women of America" says
Mr., Hoover, "have never failed to
answer such call as comes to them
now The saving of food Is within
our sphere, and without food conser-
Satlon we can not win the war"
All PASTORS are urged to preach on
conservation Of food, Sunday, July 1,
which is designated as Food Saving
Jay and to secure the cooperation Of
religious and civic bodies in a cam
palgn for food saving.
Mr.. Hoover's 100000 letters are
sent to pastors through the agency
the Federal Council of the
onurches Of Christ Of America, ac-
.ompanied by brief supplementary
appeal by Dr. Frank Mason North,
resident of the council,

gets the Stacker from military duty.
