The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII--New Series VOL. III Iowa City, Iowa, Tuesday, June 24, 1919 Number 118 TIME HAS COME FOR WOMEN TO MAKE GOOD SAYS MISS BENNETT Women Have Suffrage, Education and Other Advantages They Have Been Wanting DISCUSSES FOOD PROBLEMS Miss Wardall Talks to Women of Conference on Equivalent Food Calories "Women have got to show what they can do now," was the statement of Miss Helen Bennet, head of the collegiate bureau of occupations [in?] Chicago, in an address to the conference for women last evening. "They have been saying all along that they haven't had the opportunity, because they haven't had suffrage and education and other advantages, but now that they have these things the time has come for them to make good." Three Big Vocations There are three big vocations that women are going to enter, according to Miss Bennett. These are the amusement business, the financial world, and the business of humanizing industries. Miss Bennett's lecture concluded the day's program. Tempting Foods Miss Zelma Zentmire lectured to the conference in the morning on [some?] water supply and Dr. Amy Daniels of the Child Welfare station told of the nutrition of the child. Tempting arrays of fruits, nuts, meats, and other delicious eatables might be seen by the visitor at the home economics building yesterday afternoon. They were only for display, however, and not really to sample. They were being used by Miss Ruth A. Wardall, head of the department of home economics, in a lecture on Food Problems to the Women's Conference, as illustrating different kinds of foods which it takes to get the number of calories contained in one pint of milk. Another table contained several common measures of sugar, molasses, flour and fats, with their caloric equivalents. Still another table presented a display of foods of all kinds with the equivalent of one thousand calories. In the evening at 7:30 Prof. C.H. Weller gave an illustrated lecture on Gospel Story in Art. Official Notice The last day of regular registration for the first term of the summer session will end at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, June 24. All Students on the campus up to that time should complete their registration in the Registrar's office prior to that day and hour. After day and hour a late registration fee of 25c for each day's delay in registering (Sunday's excepted) will be charged. It is a University regulation which requires that after the last day of regular registration as thus announced each student who is not officially registered for any given course must be denied further admission to the class in that course and instructors are required by this regulation to deny further admission of such students to their classes until they are properly registered for them. H.C. Dorcas, Registrar. FOSTER TO IOWA FALLS Harold Foster, former member of the University instructional staff in political science, has assumed his duties as commercial club secretary at Iowa Falls. Mr. Foster was at one time a member of the staff of the Cedar Rapids Republican and active in chamber of commerce work in that city. Mr. Foster is one of the many University men who has gone into a position as secretary of a commercial club this spring. ATHLETIC RULES OF BIG TEN ARE REVISED Dr. H.J. Prentiss Receives Word Of Change in Eligibility Rulings in Conference The Iowa athletic board is elated over a letter received by Dr. Henry J, Prentiss, chairman, from Professor Goodenough of the University of Illinois relative to changes in the eligibility rules of the Big Ten conference. The revisions were made at the request of the University of Iowa athletic board which claimed that the old rules were ambiguous and were interpreted freely by some institutions and to the letter by others. The revision of rules provides that an athlete who has been declared ineligible on account of scholarships shall have an opportunity to take special examinations or fulfill some special requirements of the department and regain his eligibility. This will allow a man who has been declared ineligible on the eve of some contest to regain his athletic privileges by special tutoring. A second revision allows an athlete who fails entirely in his work to begin again as a new student and complete a year's work in a year of residence in the same or another college and again be eligible for Big Ten sports. Iowa in the past has been adhering to certain athletic rules more closely than some other universities of the conference, and this revision of the rules will allow Iowa to follow the rulings strictly and enjoy certain privileges which it had not done before. A number of athletes in the past year have been declared ineligible at the eleventh hour, and no provision allowed them to overcome this eligibility in time for the next event. ORGANIZE SENIOR SCOUTS Director of Scout Masters' Camp to Give Series of Lectures A senior scout troop for the purpose of giving training in scouting to women interested in the girl scout organization is being formed at the University. This is designed to give such training that those taking it may go out and organize troops in their own communities. It follows the same plan as that of the younger girls, and will continue through the summer. Several lectures will be given by Mr. Chas. F. Smith, director of the scout master's camp, and there will also be lectures by different instructors in the University. Mr. Smith will speak Wednesday evening at 7:30 in room 105 liberal arts. Practical outdoor work in scout craft will be offered. Anyone interested in this work can get in touch with it by handing in her name and telephone number at the office of the dean of women. FIFTY-FIVE LECTURES SCHEDULED FOR LAST WEEK OF CONFERENCE Second Week of Summer School is Crowded With Lectures by Outside Talent CHICAGO WOMAN TO TALK One of "Old Maid Aunts of Chicago" Will Address Conference for Women Fifty-five special lectures are scheduled for this week on the University weekly calendar issued yesterday from the office of the University editor. The greater part of the lectures are in connection with the three conferences now in session and this will probably be the week fullest of lectures of the entire eleven weeks session. Yesterday's lecture included two by Dr. Charles F. Kent on the Bible which were attended by fifty or sixty religious workers. Dr. Kent was also the chief speaker at the Commercial club luncheon yesterday yesterday noon. Last night Miss Helen Bennett of Chicago talked to the women on occupations for trained women and Charles F. Smith, the educational scout commissioner of New York City, spoke on the boy scout movement. The high spots in this weeks' program are the lectures by Dr. Kent, Dr. Luther A. Weigle of Yale University, Miss Sophonisba Breckenridge, one of the "three old maid aunts of Chicago." Mrs. B. E. Langworthy of the Illinois girls' state council of defense, and Miss Isabel Bevier, a pioneer in the work of home economics teaching, now professor and head of the department of home economics at the University of Illinois. The complete program for the next two days follows: TODAY 9 a.m. -- Conference for women: "Sources and Modes of Infection, by Prof. John H.

For the past year Dr. Quig- has been in Y.M.C.A. work, first as transport secretary and later in a hut and canteen service. Before going to France he was a dean in the Colorado State Normal School. President Quigley has degrees from Iowa, Harvard, and Minnesota. FOURTEEN 'PROBS' IN SCHOOL FOR NURSES New Class Enters University Training School--Registration Totals 175 Fourteen new students entered the nurses' training school with the June class bringing the total registration of nurses up to 175, according to figures given out at the office of Miss Mary C. Haarer, superintendent of nurses. With such an enrollment the University nurses' school ranks among the largest in the United States. To house the nurses, eight homes are being used: the regular home for nurses on Gilbert and Iowa avenue, the old Phi Psi house on College, the old Delta Chi house on Dubuque, the old Phi Zeta Epsilon house on Jefferson, and two houses on Gilbert street. Across the river on the new campus two houses accommodate the nurses working at the Children's hospital. The probationers who just entered training are living on College street. Several of them are taking advantage of the University's new ruling begun last year which enables women with a college education to complete the regular course in less time than the ordinary three year course. The plan is modelled on that devised by Vassar and consists of a three months' preparatory course and then intensive hospital training for two years. This is for college graduates. Women who have had two or more years' college training may shorten their courses in proportion finishing in two years and three months or two years and six months. Out of the twenty-two graduates in nursing last Tuesday many have accepted positions throughout the state in public health work and private nursing. DR. JENKINS RESIGNS Will be Stationed at Long Island Then at Carnegie Institute Dr. George B. Jenkins, professor of anatomy in the University college of medicine, has resigned his position and will leave soon for the East where he will be connected with the Carnegie institute at Washington, D.C. During the summer months Dr. Jenkins will be stationed at Cold Springs Harbor, Long Island, at a station for experimental evolution and genetics. Later he will go to Johns Hopkins medical school where he will work at the station of embryology. Dr. Jenkins has been on the medical staff at the University for three years. No successor has yet been appointed. Mr. and Mrs. Norvin E. Smith are visiting Keosuaqua. They will return to Iowa City before going to their new home in Philadelphia. YALE THEOLOGIAN DISCUSSES BIBLE AND MODERN NEEDS Scientific Study of Bible Has Made it of Service to New Generation STUDY BIBLE IN COLLEGES Dr. Kent Believes Schools Should Introduce Biblical History and Literature "The world would be desperately stupid now that the North and South Poles are discovered and Africa is no longer dark, were it not for lure of the quest for a larder and more perfect knowledge of God," declared Dr. Charles Foster Kent, professor of Biblical literature at the Yale School of religion and chief lecturer in yesterday morning's session of the conference for religious workers. Assuring his audience that they feel no regret that they are living in an age where there is a reaction against systematic theology, he discussed the modern tendency toward historical and literary study of the Bible. It is Dr. Kent's great hope that a study of Bible history and literature will be introduced into all the high schools and universities of America. Revival of Bible "Many of the men who are great leaders in social work today have never opened the pages of the bible," says Dr. Kent. "They are simply living on their inheritance, the principles which their forefathers gained through reading the bible. The question is how many generations we can run on the inheritance before we must return to the fountain source." Dr. Kent believes we are on the verge of a revival of interest in the bible. Higher criticism of the bible is simply studying the bible as literature, he said. Lower criticism is studying it as a text. The scientific methods employed in more recent times of bible study make it able to meet the demands of a new generation. Dr. Kent would have a thoroughgoing study of the bible in every home, school, and Sunday school. In that way, he thinks, will be accomplished the unity of Christendom. Hebrew Democratic In his lecture yesterday afternoon, on "The Democracy of the Hebrew Prophets," Dr. Kent traced the early growth of democracy among the Hebrews. Hebrew affairs were conducted by town meeting; even kings were elected by popular vote, and if at any time their rule displeased the people, drastic measures were taken to remove them. At one time Jeraboim, a son of the people, a "leader of a gang of laborers," was raised to the kingship, but upon his misrule he was removed. "The Hebrews have sacrificed their nationality to maintain their democracy," Dr. Kent stated. Among the prophets mentioned by Dr. Kent for their democratic teachings was Amos who was the first prophet to clearly define democracy in terms of economics. Amos, in an age of luxury and vice, fearlessly preached his doctrine of social democracy. Speaking of the prophets of the present day, Dr. Kent mentioned Harry Davisson, director general of (Continued on page 4)
