survey For Handicapped children

| Survey For Handicapped Children
| Believing that there is need for
more adequate summary of blind
and deaf children In the state. DR.
B. o. Skinner, state director OF
education. announced that handI-
capped children will be the subject
of contemplated state vide su*-
vey to be undertaken at an eas.y
date.
The purpose Of this contemp cd
canvass will be to provide suifaisl J
educational facilities for every
handicapped child in the state.
Annual eye examinations by
competent doctors in order to fgr-
ther separate the partially ~ I'D
children from those totally blind :s
one of the contemplated parts Of
this program. These partially
blind children would be transferred
to sight saving schools wherever
possible.
DR.. Skinner, commenting OH
saving work throughout the state
said while partially blind children
in the larger cities and counties
have the advantage of sight saving
classes in the schools, there are
many similarly afflicted children in
the rural districts who, due some-
times to lack of funds but gerer 8
ly because of distance between
schools and the fewness of So
afflicted in each school, have as
received no attention.
State school authorities Pre-
aware of the existing tendency cli
the part of some teachers as well
parents to confuse deafness and
hard hearing with mental sub-nor-
mality. A complete recheck of all
children suffering from either i'll s
intended.
Children handicapped by one or
more physical ills will be class fed
according to the greater of the two.
Special attention must be given to
those suffering from mental defects,
and a separate classification will be
used to make for greater efficiency
and more suitable treatment under
the proposed survey.

Mr.. Hoover A University President?


The question of what to do with
ex-presidents, which has never been
answered to the satisfaction of the
American people, may be settled SO
far as it applies to the only express
ident we now have, at a meeting of
the trustees of the University OF
Iowa, to be held at Coucil Bluffs
next Tuesday, providing Mr. Hoover
agrees to the proposition which the
trustees have under consideration
It is that he become the president
Of that institution as the successor
to DR.. Walter A. Jessup, who is re-
tiring.
Iowa City, the seat of the Uni
versity of Iowa, is but 10 M 'es
from West Branch, the little II va
village in which Mr.. Hoover was
born so years ago next fall, and
sentiment should incline him to
take up this work in higher educa-
ton in which to spend the rest OF
his life, if he has no further am
bition for political office.
The vicissitudes of life as it af-
fected his family swept Herbert
Hoover to the Pacific coast before
he reached the college age, and SO
he became a student in Stanford
university almost with the opening
of that institution, now grown to
be a great university. 1t was an
educator from the great Middle
West, the late David Starr Jordan,
called from the presidency of the
University of Indiana, who as the
first president of Stanford laid its
foundations broad and deep, and it
would be fitting if Stanford would
now give a president to one of tho
great universities of the Middle
West, who would bring it out of the
depression troubles now besetting
these institutions.-Col Dis

as a junior officer. He has the mental ground
work on which to build himself into a specialist
on whatever work his government assigns him.
He is not a finished product in any particular
line but can go to some university for a year
and become proficient In civil, mechanical eng-
neering. a specialist In communications or he
can be assigned to a regiment of infantry or
artillery, which is the usual case, and pick up
the necessary knowledge and experience very
easily to become capable officer of that branch.
But more important than the fund of techni-
cal and academic information which the cadet
has acquired during his four years at West Point
is another kind of training which he has re-
ceived. Soldierly qualities built upon a
foundation of character and manliness without
honor, loyalty courage, fortitude and dependa-
bity no amount of proficiency in military tech
nque will fit an officer to lead men into battle
train them to guard the nations peace. For
this reason, West Point is fundamentally school
for the development of character, with 'Duty,
Honor, Country as its motto.
The development of that character is accom-
plished through many different channels AS
his military and academic education progresses,
his social and cultural side is not overlooked
He has a regular course In gentemanly conduct
and etiquette. His social activities are under I'm
teligent supervision and his opportunities for
contact with the officers and their families on
the post are frequent After all, he belongs to
the only profession In the world Where conduct
unbecoming gentleman is offense triable by
court-martial. So, "officer and gentleman" is not
just an empty phrase. 1t is ideal to be lived
up to; and at West Point It Is a livable reality.
And to crown the character building process
which this picked body of young Americans I'M
dergo at the academy is the system there of
placing responsibility upon the cadet from the
day he arrives and teaching him to accept re-
sponsibility in increasing measure throughout
his four years. IT, as "plebe." he is told to
perform a certain task and he asks how he should
go about II, his cadet instructor will tell him
That's your job" Very early he understands
that he must stand the gait and make good"
1t is no place for the weakling for one who
lacks the mental. physical and moral stamina
to meet danger and grave responsibility, and a
rigorous weeding-out process soon eliminates
that kind of man.
As the cadets instruction advances he is given
more and more opportunities to show his capac-
ity for accepting responsibility. He commands
at drills and ceremonies, nstructs cadets of the
lower classes and assumes and more the
duties of an officer as the day of his graduation
approaches. AS an officer he will be entrusted
with The control of others, so by the time he
has spent four years at the academy he has
shown that he can control himself

This drill means learning how various weapons
and arms, studied theoretically during the win
ter behave in practice, out in the open and on
the road. The cadet will spend his mornings in
pursuits, always varied, always interesting.
He will learn to adjust Mcclellan saddle on
horses of odd shapes and dispositions. He will
do scouting, trottng alone down country lane;
he will ride through villages, whose alleys and
rooftops hide imaginary snipers. He will be one
of long line of horsemen, leaning forward over
his steed's ears, his saber cleaning out in front;
he will know the thrill of realizing that he can
no more stop the laundering hoofs of his own
mount than he can arrest the charge of the
whole troops. Or like a Ben Hur he will con-
troll team of wheel horses; behind him and on
both sides, will roll guns and caissons. He will
be cannoneer, helping in the swift process Of
Numbering and going into action He will lay
miles of WIRE across creeks, under roads, through
underbrush, so that military units may feel and
speak to each other.
Or, perhaps, in the quiet Of camoufaged OBJ
servation post, he will turn the cross-hairs of a
telescope upon an enemy target, and by science,
will compute the data necessary to bring down
artillery fire. Then again, he will be transported
to an army flying field where he will learn to
follow maps and spot targets from great alti-
tude.
During the last week of August, the entire
Under conditions approximating as nearly as pos
sible those of war, cadets learn how various
arms coordinate in battle; they begin to under
stand the difficulties of feeding and supplying
large bodies of troops. If 1t rains, If their feet
grow cold and wet and blistered, so much the
better, for they learn the limits of human endur-
ance and will know what demands can be made
of men in
Although West Point has as its primary object
the training of young men to be officers in the
United States army, it gives an academic educa-
training Its purpose which has been followed
since its beginning, was best EXPRESSED by George
Washington when he advocated the military
academy He said that what we need is school
from which we can get an educated officer.
Although discipline is maintained in the class
rooms, the academic training is purely for the
education Of the cadet. The course OF instruc-
ton is planned so that a graduate will have
what corresponds to a bachelor of science degree
at the average university.
Besides the technical matter in the curriculum,
the cadet is kept abreast of the times In govern
ment, banking, ETC., through the department OF
economics He is taught two languages French
and Spanish, along with a two-year course in
English Other courses include electricity, radio,
aero-dynamics and years course in law which
covers constitutional law. elementary law, evil
dence, criminal law and military law.
From the above it is seen that upon gradua-

A CCORDING to the unanimous re-
port of house committee of in
vestigation, Maj. Gen. Benjamin d.
Foulois, chief of the army air corps,
acted ''in clear violation of existing
law" in the proposed purchase of air
planes costing $7.50O,OO0.
Coupled with the criticism of Foulois
was commentator of Harry ii.
Woodring, assistant secretary of war.
The report stated that late in 1888
the Public Works administration set
aside $7,500,0O0 for the purchase of
army airplanes. 1t asserted that
Foulois had decided to buy the planes,
without competition. from the North
rup corporation, the Boeing Airplane
company and the Glenn L. Martin
company. On Woodring's insistence,
the plan for direct purchases was
dropped and specifications drawn on
which competitive bids were asked.

REAT BRITAIN and Japan are on
~ the verge of big trade war. The
British have threatened to take strong
action to protect their textile export
interests against increasing Japanese
competition. although the British gov
eminent officially declares 1t will do
everything to maintain amicable rela-
tions with Japan. The official position
in Tokyo is that Japan can take care
of herself. and there was every indica-
ton that 1t would not yield to the Brit
fish ultimatum that 1t must modify its
trade program and tactics. The Brit
fish threat was that quotas would be
imposed on japanese goods. but trade
leaders In Tokyo said this would not
hurt their country seriously. especial
ly since Japan's imports from the
British Isles in 1888 totaled S3.OO0OOO
yen or almost as much as was export
ed there. s0.O00OO0 yen. Hence. they
said, the Tokyo government would be
able to make reprisals.
