Practical Nursing Course
at Women's College

One Of the most splendid projects
for advancing community health, and
extending nursing service in times
such as the recent epidemic, has been
arranged by Dean Winifred J. Robin
son. This is a course of three months
intensive training in nursing funda-
mentals, to be followed by practical
experience in a hospital. The course
Will be given in the Women's College,
beginning about the first of February,
and all applicants can apply to the
dean. There. will be no age limit, a
nigh school education or the equiva-
lent Is required, and the tuition Zee
Will be 500. Only twenty can be ac-
commodated in the class.
This project was submitted on Fri
day to the Executive Board OF the
State Federation of Women's Clubs
held in the New Century Club, Will

Hot Lunch Served at
High School Today

This is an epoch making day in
the history of the Newark Public
Schools, for it marks the beginning of
project urged by progressive Or
ganizations everywhere and fostered
especially by the extension depart
ment and by the Women's Clubs. The
problem of having a warm nourishing
that usually constitutes the child's
dish to supplement the cold snack
that usually constitutes the school,
child's midday lunch will pass the
first stage of it's solution today when
the Home Economics department will
serve simple, hot dish at noon. The
second story of the high school build
ing will be used for the present and
equipment loaned by the Women's
College.
This seems herculean task, but it
has been done in schools less favored
than Newark and will doubtless prove
here the success that it has proved
in other placse where in addition to
self sustaining and has aided the
student in getting practical training
in food preparation and serving.

Speaker Gives New Vision
of Missionary Field

Miss Charlotte M. Renfield, a grad
uate of Wellesley College and a re-
preventative of the Student Volunteer
Missionary Movement, spoke to the
Delaware College students during the
assembly hour on Tuesday morning.
She presented the proposition in an
eminently practical manner, pointing
out specific positions for which we'll
trained men are needed, such as ath-
letic directors, surgeons, architects,
printers and teachers. She indicated
the large social purpose in modern
missions; that a man goes into the
foreign missionary field now not mere
ly to save the heather, but to incul-
cate the whole lifeful program of De-

COUNTY FARM
BUREAUS ISSUE
MONTHLY PAPER
Keep Members an Others In
formed Concerning Agri-
cultural Interests

The County Farm Bureaus of Del
aware, through their central office,
located at Delaware College, New
ark, will publish a monthly newspa-
per for the benefit of their members
and others interested nthe Agricul-
tural development of the State. The
November issue, which has come to
our attention, in a four page three
column news sheet and well illustrated
with two photographs showing the
results the women have secured in
their Canning Campaign and what the
Girls Canning Clubs have done.
The purpose of this paper is to give
the news and activities of the three
County Farm Bureaus, the work that
is being conducted by them through
their paid leaders, the County Agents
and Home Demonstration Agents; and
also to publish the results of success
full farm and home demonstrations,
results of Boys and Girls Home Pro-
jects and successful farm practices by
the members themselves. From now
on each member will be kept informed
of the work being carried out by his
Farm Bureau Executive Committee,
which will make it possible for men,
bers to cooperate more closely and
advantageously with the Farm Bureau
,l ,ft I'll l.. Al
tion.
The Farm Bureaus have made good
in Delaware even though they have
been recently established. The most
difficult period in the organization,
that of the first year, has passed, and
more constructive plan and program
may be carried out, since peace is in
sight.
Every Farm Bureau member will
get more than value received from the
Farm Bureau News alone for the
membership dues, even if he does not
profit from the other activities of the
organization. The paper is also being
sent to the Oranges, Banks and men,
bers of the Boys and Girls Club work.
Every member ought to support his
Farm Bureau and help improve the
Farm Bureau News. With the results
secured the past year to back them up,
we feel that the Farm Bureaus will
be able to double their membership in
each county over that of last year.

Lieutenant O'Daniel, the son of
Amos H. and Nora Wilson O'Dan-
iel, was born in Newark, Delaware,
February Is, 1894. He received
his early education in the schools
of Delaware and Chester Counties,
Pa, coming to Newark in 1918, to
make his home with his grand
mother, Mrs. Rebecca Wilson, in
the fall of that year entering Della
ware College. He was president of
his class in the Freshman and
Sophomore years, and throughout
his course took an active part in
the athletic life of the college.
His letters to relatives here
written since the st. Mihiel fight
have been full of enthusiasm con-
corning the spirit of the men, but
have contained practically no.
thing relative to his personal part
in the battle. He was discharged
from the hospital the second week
in October and rejoined his regi-
ment on the fifteenth of the month.
His division, the Fifth, has been
repeatedly mentioned in dispatch
es concerning the Battle before
Sedan, and also is included
among those who are occupying
the German provinces.
During the last week of his stay
at the hospital he learned for the
first time of the death of his
.brother, Lieutenant J. Allison
O'Daniel, killed in airplane acci

manded in Peace

At a meeting of the Executive
Board of the State Federation of
Women's Clubs held in Whining
ton on Friday it was pointed out
by Miss Emily P. Bissell that other
agencies must be ready to take up
the work of the tate Council of
Defense, because that body goes
automatically out of existence six
months after peace is declared.
No State, civic or national work
can go automatically out of exist
ence, nor can the need be wiped
out with the establishment of
peace. Conditions may change, but
work continues, and the Women's
clubs are preparing to either as
sumo or find other agencies to as
sumo work, that must be given up
by the State Council of Defense.
Ever since the creation of that or
ganization, the women clubs have
served as a coordinate agency,
many lines of work have been
dovetailed and with one exception,
the members of the women's COM

drafting rules which are expected to
Guido even those Of Wisconsin in
strictness. From remarks dropped by
members Of the board, the probabili-
ties are that the regulations viii be
the most drastic in the history Of
glove contests. one OF the rules VIII
set a maximum price for seats at any
bout. This win be done with the OBJ
ject OF discoura Eing spectators from
staging bouts between noted boxers
at eEorbitant rates The trainers Of
the rule declare that the history Of
boxing under commission rule shows
that the socalled star performers
never have given a fair return in box
ing for the large sums paid by the
public.
Another rule that is likely 10 be
adopted is one to license all boxers.
BY providing that a boxer must dem
Onstrate his ability before getting
license the board viii assure patrons
Of intelligent effort in the ring. This
viii DO away with the practice Of
throwing two a0vices in the ring and
compelling them to mix IT.
