Series Of Lanham Act
Child Care Projects
For Wartime Forecast
First Is Approved;
Bon on School Use
Curbs PIon for D. c.

Presidential approval OF the first
war nursery and child care project
to be financed from Lanham Act
funds was hailed today as precedent
making and the first OF many such
projects" by Mrs. Florence Kerr, as
sistant to Brig. Gen. Philip B. F1em-
ing, in charge of administering Lam
ham Act funds for the maintenance
and operation of community war ia
cilities.
The project approved by President
Roosevelt yesterday involves an al
lotment of $50, to the New Haven
Comm Board of Education for a
program of care for children OF war
employed mothers in that locality.
Lanham Act funds for war nur-
series and child car projects were
made available early this year to
meet the Nation wide need for nur-
series caused by the entrance OF
mothers into war industries. The
New Haven project, first to be ap-
proved, will be followed by hundreds
of others throughout the country.
said Mrs. Kerr
Sees d. C. Need - Real.
Nurseries and other child care
projects could and would be opened
in the District" Mrs. Kerr said, "if
the ban on the use OF schools for
children under 5 were lifted. The
need is very real here and we would
like to help"
The New Haven project, an
nounced yesterday by Gen. Fleming,
Federal Works administrator, will
include war nursery for IS pre-
school children and 20 kindergarten
children. Another feature is a pro-
gram of before and after school care,
noon lunch and vacation care for 100
children in the first to seventh
grades of Scranton (Pa) schools.
Factors surrounding the New
Haven application are typical OF
other industrial areas throughout the
country where women have entered
essential industry, Mrs. Kerr said.
Plans were developed by the State
Teachers College, which will furnish
supervision for the program; the
Day Care Committee of the New
Haven Council Of Social Agencies
and the New Haven public school
system. The program meets the
standards of care established by the
Child Care Committee Of the State
Defense Council and the project will
receive assistance from that group.
Five Days = Week at Start.
The nursery will operate five days
a week from $50 am. to $50 pm.
Hours will be heightened. however,
and more days included as the need
becomes more acute.
The Scranton project was applied
Tor after q survey revealed that of
375 mothers in the Scranton school
district, ITO are employed, leaving
their children without proper care
except during the regular school
hours. The mothers are working in
the plants of an arms company and
in other plants handling war orders.
Care for the Scranton school-age
children will be available five days a
week.
In winter the program will be
operated in the school from 6:45 q m.
to $3.50 am. and from pm. to $50
pm. and will provide a noon lunch
for the children of war workers. Dur
ing the summer, when the city's nor
NAL recreation program extends to

from pm. to 8 pm. and lunch will
be served at noon.

Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son asked the educators aid in
fighting imitation. Teachers, he said,
not only can explain the purposes
of the law to their fellow citizens,
but also can act as administrators.
While America is now getting ready

Educators Depart
With Blueprint Of
Wartime SCHOOLING
Studeboker Sums Up
Need for Changes at
Closing Session

Delegates to the National Confer
ence on Education and the War were
returning to their homes today with
q blueprint for gearing school in
struction to the science of war.
Summing up objectives of the
four-day conference at American
University, John w. Studebaker,
commissioner Of education, said at
the closing meeting, in part:
Perhaps less than at any other
level OF education does winning the
war imply conversion in the curricu-
lum OF the elementary school. The
fundamentals of childhood educa-
tion. with their emphasis on mental
security. physical health and growth,
and command Of the tools of learn
ing. are not altered for the emer-
gency. Moreover, millions of lee
mentary school children will still be
IN school when victory is won. They
must grow up to help in the long,
slow task Of rebuilding the postwar
world. In addition, they can par
ticipate In war-related activities,
such as salvage and conservation
campaigns and war savings
Urges Practical Mathematics.
High schools, Mr.. Studebaker said.
must prepare boys for technical posts
in the armed forces, and train girls
to replace men who have been called
to the colors from farms, factories.
stores and oficeS. There must be a
new emphasis on programs of ply
s1cal fitness. To meet Army and
Navy technical needs, there must be
revisions Of mathematics and science
content to transfer mathematical
and scientific learnings to practical
situations, he declared.
He mentioned pre- induction train
ing and development Of an under
standing and appreciation Of Amer
ica's war allies as also being essential.
As to colleges and universities.
Mr.. Studebaker lamented that the
ivory tower detachment Of many
liberal arts students and faculty
members during the progress of
this world-shattering war is truly
amazing"
Recommends Short Courses.
He said institutions Of higher
learning could do these things:
Lower their entrance requirements
so as to serve every qualified stu
dent who needs the services of
the college to prepare him for war
work; cooperate with the Army,
Navy and industry by giving spe-
cial short courses to students re-
