WORKSHOP
Summer Session of Health Ed
ucation Course to Be Held
at University

tive for all students in education.

tunity to study current health
problems as they affect the school
and the community; to consider
the ways in which interested
Smyrna times., 1951-06-21

groups may work together in
meeting specific problems; and to
acquaint teachers and workers
with the services available through
official and voluntary health agen-
cies.
The first four weeks will be de-
voted to a consideration of funda-
mentals in health education with
methods and materials for use in
the school and community. The
final two weeks will be given over
to the workshop. This plan gives
an opportunity both to become ac-
quainted with the general phases
of the program and to study a
specific problem in consultation
with experts Miss Hartshorn ex-
planned.
Health is the responsibility of
every individual" she pointed out.
Health education is considered an
essential in every school curricu-
lum. A better understanding of the
ways in which individuals and
groups can contribute to healthful
living through health education
should prove worthwhile to every
one"

LEXINGTON. Va, May 15.--
Greater mobilization of the Ma
tons military strength, was de-
manded today by Bernard M
Baruch as he praised Defense
Secretary Marshall as "history's
first global strategist."
Mr.. Baruch dedicated memo
rial arch to Gen. Marshall on the
grounds of the Virginia Military
Institute. The institute is cele-
brating George Catlett Marshall
Day in honor of it's famous alum
nus.
In delivering his first public
views on the controversy stirred
up by President Truman's dismis-
sal of Gen. Macarthur Mr.. Ba-
ruch did not mention the name
Iof the former Far Eastern com
Imander.
II wonder how much of the
controversy in recent days is
really reflection of the differ
Ience between the leader of troops
and the organizer" Mr.. Baruch
said
Would Be Impatient.
"A great leader of troops
naturally is jealous in desiring
that when his men become locked
in battle that every resource be
marshalled which might increase
the chance of their winning OF
decreasing their losses. The very
qualities which made him SO
valiant a leader of troops would
make him impatient of any limi-
tations on his action"
Mr.. Baruch, presidential ad-
wiser in two world wars, has diff
fered with President Truman OF
late.
Mr.. Baruch said he put the
concept of global defense. which
saved the free world once and
which can save it again." ahead
of any other consideration in
United States policy planning.
But he said global defense coulc
succeed only by a tremendous
increase in the military strength
of the United States and the rest
of the free world.
Many issues have become in
volved in the raging controversy
over Far Eastern policy" Mr.
Baruch said. "I would not wan
to seem to be answering or dis.
missing them. Still, I would like
