THE DAILY IOWAN The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII---NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1919 NUMBER 119 TRAINING CAMP FOR SCOUT MASTERS IS FILLED TO CAPACITY Fourteen Are Taking Training in Scouting Which Extension Division Offers TWO COMPANIES SEND MEN The Goodyear RubberCompany and the john Deere Company Have Representatives Here Two manufacturing establishments, the Goodyear Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, and the John Deere company of Moline, Ill., have sent men to the training camp for scout masters which is being conducted by the extension division of the university of Iowa this summer. This camp is filled to capacity, fourteen men. It is authorized by the national council of boy scouts. The men are camping on the banks of the Iowa river jut below Black Springs. The two weeks' session began June 16 and lasts until Saturday this week. Scouting Activities Featured The purpose of the camp is to train scout masters through participation in the activities of scouting. However, to quote O.E. Klingaman, director of the extension division, "the value isn't just in teaching them to do things, but in showing why they should be done." Instruction is being given by Charles F. Smith of New York City who for the past year has been giving similar work in Columbia university. Other lectures are being given by Prof. Ellsworth Faris, Prof. [illegible] E. Seashore and Prof. O.E. Klingaman. Scouting Makes Real Men As to the ideals of the boy scout movement the official magazine says, "The boy scout idea is a movement rather than an organization. It [illegible] to supplement existing organizations such as the home, church, and school by engaging the boys' [illegible] energies in outdoor games and activities of cultural and practical value." And again, "Scouting is the process of making real men out of real boys by a real program which works." According to Mr. Klingaman, 70 per cent of the scout troops are connected with the church, all denominations being represented. MEDICAL STUDENTS DO INDIVIDUAL WORK The college of medicine is offering during the summer school practically every course which is regularly offered during the school year. So far twenty medical students have registered for work. Individual work is being done by these students, most of whom are taking special courses that they missed during the S.A.T.C. Several pre-medics are in the summer session making up credits for entrance into medicine this fall. Summer school students are invited to a picnic supper with the Christian endeavor society of the Presbyterian church Saturday afternoon. Meet the group in front of [illegible] Capitol at 5 o'clock. The picnic will be held on the west side of the [illegible]. Prof. and Mrs. F.E. Higbee are the parents of a son born last Tuesday. WILL LECTURE AGAIN ON MODERN BIOLOGY Heredity, environment, and the development of the individual, will be discussed in the second lecture of the series on "Modern Biology" given by Prof. Gilbert N. Houser. This lecture will be held Saturday morning, June 28, at 8 o'clock in room 107, natural science building. All students of the summer session are invited to attend these lectures. There is no prerequisite and no registration is required. The several lectures of this series will be given on successive Saturdays at the same time and place. This course has been planned especially for those who cannot take a formal course in biology this summer, but who wish to become acquainted with some of the results of recent study in this field. IOWA ALUMNI DINE LOWDEN AT CAPITAL University Graduates Entertain for Illinois Governor in Des Moines Last Night Frank O. Lowden, announced as Republican candidate for president by the Hamilton club of Chicago recently, was honored by his fellow alumni of the University of Iowa at a dinner last night in Younkers tea room at Des Moines. The entire capacity of the tea room was reserved for the dinner, and between 400 and 500 Iowa graduates were present. President W.A. Jessup and Dean William F. Russell left on the afternoon train for Des Moines to attend the dinner. President Jessup was one of the speakers at the dinner as was Carl Kuehnle of Denison. W.O. Finkbine of Des Moines, the oldest alumnus in that city, was toastmaster. The main talk was given by Governor Lowden. Governor Lowden spoke at the state bankers convention in Des Moines yesterday and last night was en route to the state bar association meeting in Davenport. He stopped off at Des Moines only between trains. Through his attendance at the University law college and his acquaintance with men who are now active in the state comes much of the support which Iowa is giving to Lowdens proposed candidacy for the presidency in 1920. The University memorial hall was discussed at the banquet in honor of the Illinois governor. ALL STUDENT PICNIC TO BE HELD SATURDAY An all-student get-acquainted picnic to be held at the city park Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock is being planned by the Epworth league of the Methodist church. The plan is to meet at the Y.M.C.A. and proceed from there to the park in a group. In case of rain, the picnic will be held in the basement of the Methodist church. All summer session students are invited to come and get acquainted with each other. Each person is asked to bring twenty-five cents to cover the cost of the meal. ATTEND NATIONAL MEETING Elizabeth Dorcas will leave Thursday night to attend the national conclave of Alpha Delta Pi at Natural Bridge, Virginia. Gladys Shoesmith, Lilian Fillean and Dorothy Cave will also represent the University's chapter at the convention. TEACHERS SHOULD HAVE COOPERATION SAYS DEAN RUSSELL Says the Superintendents Should Form Teachers Associations to Prevent Unionism EXPLAINS SIBERIAN SYSTEM Russell Says Siberian Teachers are Greatly Interested in Their Work The only way to bring liberty and freedom into our country is to meet the teachers half way and to give them representation in the administration of the school, was the idea brought out by Dean William F. Russell in a brief talk on school administration in Siberia, before the second weekly assembly yesterday morning. Superintendents of tomorrow should get the teachers together in associations and give them enough power of speech that they will not form teachers unions. Schools Are Autonomous In Siberia each school is autonomous; it is controlled by a committee of representatives of the teachers and parents. There is no superintendent and no school authorities. The internal affairs of the school are managed by the committee. The Siberian system has one feature which works, said Dean Russell, and that is that it secures tremendous interest and enthusiasm on the part of the teachers in the problems of the school. But it is disadvantageous in having no definite plan which can be worked out and no centralized authority to work out the differences between schools. This finally results in one person taking over the leadership and coming into authority by a sort of common consent, without any accompanying responsibility. Teachers Enthusiastic That the school system of the United States is more democratic (continued on page 4) DR. KENT DISCUSSES COMMUNITY PLAN Belives [sic] the Home Will Survive Even In Event Democracy Should Fail How Paul planned to go to the large cities and establish communities in the hope of gaining workers to send out to other cities, was told by Dr. Charles Foster Kent in a lecture Wednesday afternoon to the Religious conference on "Paul's Plan of Community and World Organization." Dr. Kent spoke of Paul's wonderful adaptation to all kinds of people and mentioned that his work was both intensive and extensive. That the home will survive even if democracy goes to pieces, is Prof. Kent's belief. In connection with this he dwelt on Jesus' love for the home, and home life. The social teachings of Jesus were discussed by Dr. Kent in his lecture on "Jesus' Community Program," Tuesday. He said it was Jesus' plan to build a close community as a corner stone of fraternal democracy that would extend to all Judaism. Dr. Kent is a professor at Yale school of religion and is a fluent and convincing speaker. EVEN TAFT COULD NOT KEEP ONE LAW AWAKE A certain University student went to Cedar Rapids Monday to attend the address of ex-president Taft. His ideal did not come up to his expectations, however, and he took an early car for Iowa City. The speech having a drowsy effect upon the young man he fell asleep; he awoke from his slumbers in Cedar Rapids about 3 a.m. the next morning. Shortly after that, a policeman noticed him pacing up and down Third street with on [sic] armful of books, and taking him for an I.W.W. worker, accosted him for investigations. Turning the pages of the books, he saw that they were entirely devoted to law, and bore the young man's name. The young man arrived in Iowa City safely on the first interurban Tuesday morning. AMERICANIZATION IS NOT RECONSTRUCTION Miss Breckenridge Says Inspiration for Social Work Must Come From Within True americanization doesn't mean reconstruction to Miss Sophonisba Breckenridge, assistant professor of house-hold administration in the university of Chicago, who talked at the women's conference last night on the subject of "Americanization." "Of course reconstruction that has as its social program such reforms as, a larger share in the product of industry, more effective health machinery, development of adequate housing, and better criminal procedure helps in the work of americanization, but does not belong strictly to it alone since its work is applicable to everybody. "Americanization means devices which will enable different groups of people to understand each other better and to share the common life more richly." Such devices are: the opportunity first of all to learn English, and then to get an understanding of such American institutions as our theory of compulsory education, our legislation on child labor, and our municipal codes on sanitation. There are two big ways to get these devices into motion according to Miss Breckenridge. First through the use of the foreign press, especially the womans page in these papers; second through the foreign speaking visitor. These foreign speaking visitors can examine closely into the devices which the different groups have developed for themselves. It is Miss Breckenridge's firm conviction that where these devices are efficient, the social worker should establish a cooperative relationship with them and lead them out. Such developments of the foreign peoples should be discarded only when they are bad. "The influence must be set within. The real accomplishment like life itself, must come from within". Dr. Mabel C. Williams will address the student's class at the Methodist Sunday school next Sunday morning at 9:30. The pastor, Dr. Sylvester E. Ellis, will preach at 10:45. The Epworth league service at 7 o'clock will be led by Florence White. All summer students are invited to have a part in these services. HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS WILL BE SUBJECT OF AFTERNOON TALK Mrs. B.F. Langworthy, Speaker, Former President Illinois Congress of Mothers MANY TALKS WEDNESDAY Dr. John H. Hamilton, Dr. Arthur Steindler, Miss Wardall Wednesday Speakers Mrs. B.F. Langworthy of Chicago will be the speaker for the conference of women this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Her topic will be The High School Girl. Mrs. Langworthy is at present head of the Girls' state council of defense of Illinois. She was formerly president of the Illinois congress of mothers, a part of the national organization of fifty years' standing, out of which the Parent- Teachers' association has grown. Her address is expected to be of vital interest to members of the present conference to parents, to girls, and to all those concerned in the problem of the young girl, her responsibility, status in the community, and the direction of her activities. Talks of Infection Mrs. Langworthy is now connected with the Lewis institute in Chicago as teacher of the modern drama. Wednesday morning Dr. John H. Hamilton spoke about infections of the respiratory tracts. He dealt with the sources and modes of infection, and the control of infectious diseases. Speaks on Americanization At 11:15 Dr. Arthur Steindler spoke on the Perkins Law. From 2 to 4 o'clock professor Wardall discussed food problems. Wednesday evening Miss Sophonisba Breckenridge of the department of household administration of the University of Chicago spoke on "Americanization." Miss Breckenridge is thoroughly acquainted with all phases of civic and philanthropic life. At present she is chief of the federal division on adjustment of homes and family life. ALPHA CHIS IN CONCLAVE Fifteenth Biennial Meeting Will be at Congress Hotel, Chicago The fifteenth biennial convention of the Alpha Chi Omegas will be held at the Congress hotel, Chicago, July 1 to 5.
