Pennsylvania, in which the speaker
of Superintendent of the N. E. A.
urged that the government pay stu
dents for attendance in school. Half
of the time should be given to labor.
In short he would have form of sub
sidizing applied.
Unionization of Public School
Teachers was presented and discussed
from various points of view. DR.. Al
len asserted that sentiment among the
normal school presidents was opposed
to definite affiliation with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
Advanced credit relations between
the normal schools and colleges and
universities was presented by Presi-
dent C. G. Pearse Of the Milwaukee
Normal School. The feeling is very
strong for the establishment of Teach
ers Colleges.
. One of the fruitful topics of the
meeting was "The Subnormal Child
given by DR.. H. H. Goddard, Columbus,
Ohio. The leader brought out some
rather startling figures relative to the
intelligence tests which were given to
100000 drafted men. 1t was found
JHdC ~ pCi CSAC u Il1CSC 4dAhCA NC
low high school intelligence; 81 per
cent leave school before reaching a
high school entrance education. In
the opinion of DR.. Goddard which was
based on this and other data growing
out of these tests it is a wrong pro-
cedure to give every pupil the same
kind of traditional school training.
Those of low intelligence should have
a different form of education in order
to equip them to compete successfully
with those having greater mentality.
The Smith owner Bill, Subsidies
for Teachers in Training, and many
other topics of interest to the normal
school presidents were before the two
day sessions Of the council. The lack
of time prevented President Allen
from making any detailed report on
these.

DESCRIBED BIGGEST
W0RLDUNlVERSITY

MIR. F. c.. Spalding, Director Of Hy-
giene and Physical. Education, gave
some frst-hand information in Thurs
days chapel period about the large
military university which was estab-
lished at Beaune, France to enable
members of the A. E. F. to continue
thir education. Mr.. Spaldang was
there part of the time while acting
as a Y. NJ. c. A. secretary in France.
It was the largest university of it's
kind the world has seen. Six thous-
and students were in attendance and
in addition 5000 were encamped near
by. The original site was planned for
a hospital but plans we're changed
with the signing of the armistice.
AS was to be expected many mis-
takes were made. The army sent a
committee Of inspection. Provision
was made for housing but class rooms
and laboratories were forgotten. The
food provided was rot of excellent
quality. However, these difficulties
were overcome in time. Other causes
of general dissatisfaction were even
tually removed.
The faculty was chosen from two
sources: from military officers and
men who had had educational expert
ence' in the United States; second
from the educational service of the Y.
NJ. C. A. Gradually instruction was
entirely placed in the hands of United
States army men.
There were frequent clashes be.
tween the civil expert educators and
the army officers in command over
questions of policy but these differ
ences were soon smoothed over.
Courses were offered in art, bust
ness, agriculture, education, science,
and in other lines similar to those or
fered at home. Laboratories were
provided and an excellent library
placed at the disposal of the men. The
work done accomplished much good.

THE REFINEMENT OF
BOYS AND GIRLS

By Professor M. V. O'Shea, The Uni
versity of Wisconsin
There is a popular belief that boys
are crude and rather vulgar by ma
ture. This tradition has become es-
tablished because girls, after the age
of three or four at any rate, seem to
be more refined than boys in speech
and in manners. But the difference
may not be native one; it may be
due to differences in training and Cs-
pecially in environment and compan-
ionship.
From early childhood boys are sub
iected to rough associations from
which girls are protected. Boys are
permitted to use obscene language
which girls, speaking generally, new
er hear. Vulgar people try to restrain
their coarseness when girl is pres
ent but they never think Of doing so
before boy. Even in public perform
ances, as in the theatre, obscenity is
often INDUCED in if only men are pres
ent, whereas little if anything of the
kind would accur before girls or wo-
men. Lewd actions are exhibited be-
fore boys and men; while girls are
never admitted to places where such
actions are permitted.
If boys as we'll as girls were quart
ed from vulgarity and their activities
rightly directed, society would hold
the same moral standard for men and
women. The late Speaker Cannon held
the same standard and the following
story is pertinent At stag party
where he was once toasc-Master,
certain congressman prefaced q vlll-
gar story with the words, LAS no lad
les are present, will tell tic follow
ing story"
"Pardon me, you may omit that
part of your remarks" interrupted
Speaker Cannon, though nc ladies
are present, many gentlemen are"
Public sentiment always requires
that the environment of the girl be
more wholesome and refined than that
Of the boy. If boys are more suscepti-
bic, why are they not safeguarded?
Will someone who is in the habit OF
ascribing native vulgarity to boys
please answer this question?
Thoughtless, though doubtless we'll
meaning people are constantly seek
ing to improve the environment of
RlElS ~ do 10 Keep tIcL IAVN6Ato, ASSl-
ings and conduct wholesome, sweet
and refined, but they let boys grow up
under debasing conditions and then Ia
ment over the fact that they are not
naturally refined and scrupulous about
their speech and manners. Many par
ents expend more time and ,no,:cy in
it getting nice, clothes for daughter
than for q sunsSnd& &hen they wonder
why he is not 50 particular as she is
about his appearance. The result Of
the general indifference to boys
esthetic nature is, Of course, that the
boy rs a rule, is coarse in his thought,
speech and action than the girl.
But is the difference due to sex or to
the fact that we neglect the boy and
permit him to look out for himself
with the result that he IS often sub
jected to vicious suggestion? 1t IS
a wonder that, take boys as they go,
they are not worse than they are.
