Young People Who Will Go Away to
Institutions Of Learning
This Year.


lie service, engineering, the indus
tries, in the home, in business, ag-
riculture and in the army and navy
From everywhere comes the urgent
call for those who have had the
preparation enabling them to direct
and to lead. 1t is certain that the
need for such men and women will
not grow less as the war goes on,
but many times greater.
Many young men over IS respond
ed to- the colors before the close of
the last school year, and many 9th
ers have been called into service
since that time. College men from
this city have figured largely in the
quota sent from Iowa for service at
the front, and there are many local
young men of military age who
would have been taken in the first
draft. had Hamilton county not been
exempt. To the young man whose
war service will come later on, the
question of college should be seri-
ously thought about. He probably
feels that he should abandon plans
for furthering his education. If he
has been a college student he can
resume his studies during the
months before he is called-better
fit himself for responsible position
and thereby do larger and greater
service in the army or navy upon
answering his country's call.
The young woman in college
should by all means complete her
work: she will face new duties and
responsibilities when she finishes
school, and with college training
will be better able to cope with
them. The young woman just ready
to enter college likewise should go
oarwith heir: sauriitiUm mt MI: too,
may be more capable of doing the
things she will be called upon to
do in later years.
Oftentimes the high school grad
uate will wait a year or possibly
two before entering college. This
fall there are nine of this years
Webster City graduating class
Manley Sweazey, Abner Stafford,
Franklin Mason, Hope Terrence of
Kamrar, Harold Lane, Wayne Glenn
ent, Muree Johnson, Clarence
Veatch and Leon DeFrance-who
will attend college or school OF some
kind
The list of Webster City young
people who will attend schools of
learning this year, together with the
college they expect to attend, ap-
pears below. 1t is, of course, in
complete, for list of this sort is
very hard to get in full.
The three Iowa schools which
have always proved most popular
with our young people-the Iowa
State college, Ames, the State Uni
versity, Iowa City, and the State
Teachers college at Cedar Falls
are this year taking an even num-
Der from here. The Ames institu-
fion will be attended by Maris
johnson, Franklin Mason, Donald
Mckee, Myrtle Jacobs, Paul Ster-
ling, Will Yungclas of Highview,
Claire Richardson, and Hope Tor
renee of Kamrar. All these leave

their year of study.
Those who will attend the State
university at Iowa City are Olive
Bateman, Helen Alexander, Louise
Swanson, Kathryn Stafford, Abner
Stafford, Manley Sweazey, Glenn
Greenwood and Leila Hughes. The
latter, who has had training at
Morningside and Cornell, will fin
ish her course of study at Iowa City
in 1918. Miss Stafford and her
brother, who expected to be able to
live at home while attending the
university, were disappointed in that
respect, their parents having decid-
ed not to remove to the university
town. The university opens Sept.
II.
