in foreign languages, sociology,

Practically any subject taught
in the university can be secured
thru correspondence at a very rea-

is divided into assignments by the
university department giving it.,
and the extension division sends
the assignments to the corre-

student has completed an assign

by the department having charge

work OF this bureau:
For the past two years the bu-
reau of community welfare of the
extension division has been CO.
operating with the various COM
munities in the state for the pur-
pose of rendering practical assist
ance in their community work.
The aim has been not merely to
unite the efforts of citizens and
welfare organizations in each OF
these communities for the preven-
ton of social and economic ills,
but to create a spirit of moral
unity essential to working togeth-
er in the interest of our boys and
girls, our homes and institutions,
as we'll as the general growth,
prosperity and the conservation of
the human and material resources
OF the community.
Before drafting definite plans
personal interviews were held
with from thirty to fifty represen-
tative citizens in each of fourteen
typical communities in the state.
A plan of community organization
was then made on the basis of
prevailing conditions found and
put into effect.

"In effecting the organization
an executive committee from five

This committee is assisted by an
advisory committee composed OF
representatives from municipal,

cations and institutions thruout
the community. Thirty additional
committees are then appointed by
the executive committee to attend
to the various phases OF the con-

amount of work is allotted to each
committee, typewriter sugges-
tions outlining the work OF each
are provided by the community

AMERICAN BREAKFAST Is
RECOMMENDED FOR FRANCE

BORDEAUX, France, July 17.--The
American breakfast of ham and eggs,
liver and bacon. beefsteak or other
meat vegetables and porridge, as a
substitute for the meagre European
morning meal, is recommended for
France by DR.. Bergonie, professor of
the Bordeaux Medical Faculty, DR..
Bergouie regards this substitution as
one fthe reforms most likely to re-
lieve the economic situation, by provid-
ing rational nourishment and avoiding
a great deal of waste.
He bases his argument on the fact
that man requires sustenance most at
the beginning of the day when he is
about to make his effort. whereas in
Europe he takes his principal meal
when his days work is half through,
when he is half tired out and is inca
pable of so digestfng his meal as to
give him proper support for the bal
ance of the days work

GREAT BRITAIN TO HAVE
NATIONAL BABY WEEK

LONDON, July Irrational Baby
Week, which is to occupy the attention
of Gerat Britain during seven days Of
July will be featured by baby shows
and demonstrations in every important
town and city in the British Isles. The
prize babies this year will have to
pass a more exacting and critical eX-
animation than ever before. Only
children between ages Of six and
twelve months will be eligible in the
competition, and children showing
suspicious symptoms of coughs, colds,
GRE throat, or contagious ailments will
be vigorously barred.
The perfect baby should have so
good points, according to the standards
agreed upon for the judges. Mental,
weighing, measuring, physical, dental,
eye, ear and throat tests will be made
in succession. AS mental test, the
mother will talk to her baby, and as
she does so the Judges Will note It's
facial expressions, its actions, and the
quality of it's attempts at speech.
Weighing and measuring includes
heights, the circumference of pelvis,
chest, head and abdomen, and the
length of arms and legs. Scanty hair
does not count against child until it
is year old Mere prettiness is of no
account; features are not considered
individually. Beautiful blue eyes and
cherub lips do not gain marks, but
symmetry, proportion of features, face
contour, and expression have their
values. A child does not lose marks
for birthmarks, moles, abrasions, OF
small scars caused by minor accidents.

does not consist in the substitution of

it impossible to retain the retiring
chancellor. In letting Won Bethmann-

OFFICERS AT TRAINING CAMP
ARE NOW DIGGING TRENCHES

ATLANTA, Ga, July 16.-The men
in the Officers Training Camp at Fort
Mcpherson are getting right down to
the actual, practical business of war as
fought on modern battlefelds.
After preliminary training in the
manual of arms, semaphore signalling,
nap reading, elementary tactics, etc,
they are now digging trenches, throw
ing arenades and learning how to
plunge a bayonet into the vital spots
of an enemy's anatomy.
Dummies with arms, legs and head
are being hung in racks on the drill
ground, and the student officers charge
these dummies at full speed and plunge
their bayonets through them, somewhat
il the same manner that football
SQUAD in training charges the dummy
tackling machine on the athletic field.
The men line up in pairs with imita-
ton mayonets and fence by the hour,
thrust and parry, thrust and parry,
lunging and side-stepping, lunging and
side-stepping, exactly as men fight
their deadly bayonet duels on the bat
tie fields of France and Belgium.
The course of training will run for
another month and will become more
intense than ever. The men are now
as hard as nails from their strictly
regulated habits and daily exercises,
and they can stand the strain of hard
drive for thirty days.

of attraction was the Yule log before

eral girls to express their wishes for
the season. Next came four Woodland
sprites dancing i'll bearing fagots with
which to light the fire; maid came
with a torch, the log was placed with

Then the electric lights were turned
out, and by the glow of the Yule log
