PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, November 12, 1918 THE DAILY IOWAN The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa MEMBER IOWA COLLEGE PRESS A morning paper published for the period of the war three times a week--Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday--by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Subscription Rate $2.00 per year BOARD OF TRUSTEES C.H. Weller, chairman, E.M. McEwen, E.S.Smith, Gretchen Kane, Alice Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief Mildred E. Whitcomb Telephone Black 1757 Office Hours--8 to 12; 1 to 6 daily, Room 14, L.A. building Managing editor Rowena Wellman News Editor..Agnes Kingsbury Humorous Editor..Elizabeth Hendee Exchange Editor..Ethyn Williams Feature Editor..Ruth Stewart Sporting Editor..G.D. Evans BUSINESS STAFF Romola Latchem--Business Manager Telephone 935 Office Hours--daily, 103 Iowa Avenue "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."--Lincoln CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES In these days of excitement the reminder may not come amiss that an armistice may not necessarily be followed by a treaty of peace. History records many instances of thwarted hopes. Examples lie before us. On Dec. 3, 1912, the Balkan states accepted an armistice and ten days later their delegates met in London. Negotiations were well underway when on Jan. 23, 1913, Turkey attempted a coup d'etat, the peace conference came to an end, and on Feb. 4 the war was resumed. On April 21 a second armistice was agreed upon, and May 30 the belligerents signed the treaty of London. Scarcely was the ink dry when the war broke out anew. A third armistice was conducted July 31, and Aug. 10 peace was signed at Bucharest. This peace too was inconclusive, and some of its unsatisfactory conditions lie at the roots of the present war. The war has continued eight months after the signing of the first armistice. The terms include judicious guarantees, but, even then, there may be a chance of a slip. The war is, in truth, over, it will be months, if not years, before our boys come home Let's not allow the jubilation of the last day or two weaken our support of the United War Work campaign. Everything is not concluded, and the need for welfare organizations work is just as acute. WHAT YOUR MONEY CAN DO $4,500 will build a standard camp building. $3,500 will supply a motor truck for supply transport service in America or France. $1,500 will equip a building for service to a brigade of about 6,000 men. $500 will save the lives of fifty prisoners of war. $250 will equip with instruments a complete orchestra which can give daily entertainments to thousands of men. $100 will equip with books a campus library, making educational classes possible for many men. $50 will provide "comforts" for fifty wounded or dangerously ill men. $25 will provide writing material enabling thousands of men in camp to keep in touch with hime. Annette Denkmann and Adele Meese of Durant were the week and guest of Kathryn Fritson, sophomore in the liberal arts college. Myrtle Dollmire, Iota Xi Epsilon, is in the isolation hospital with influenza. WHAT OTHERS THINK The Daily Iowan will gladly print any communications from students or faculty members. The writer must sign the article to show his good faith in sending it, but no name will be printed if the sender so designates. To The Editor: What is the matter with all of the classes that have no tickets out for the election of officers? Election time is long past and not a move has been made by the freshmen sophomores, or juniors. It is true the seniors have one ticket, but so far no one has had pep to oppose it. The quarantine has delayed all activities of course, but that is no reason why something can't be started now. Surely this year of all years, when the affairs of the University are so upset, the classes need organization, and they can get that only through the leadership of efficient officers. How are they going to hold meetings and transact business? Or don't they intend to do anything at all this year? Are we to have no Hawkeye? It certainly does not look that way, unless the juniors get busy pretty soon. In this matter of class elections the men are not so much to blame as the women, because the restrictions put upon them makes it practically impossible for them to assume the responsibility of getting the different tickets. The girls ought to realize this and start something on their own account, not with the intention of leaving the boys out, but with the idea of helping along a good cause and keeping up the reputation of the University. Now, juniors, can't we hear from you? Set a good example for the freshmen, and start out the year with the promise of something doing from start to finish. You owe it to the school not to let anything like a war or the recovery from a war interfere with making this year the most successful in the history of the University. D.B. SOLDIERS' LETTERS Somewhere on Lake Huron. Dead Higbee: I suppose you have concluded by this time that I've already been submarined. But not so, I'm very much alive and kicking as usual. I reported at Muny Pier, Chicago, on July 15 as advance dope had it and spent night warish five weeks in the bowels of the pier. It certainly is some place. If it wasn't for other attractions in Chicago, which are strong enough to outweigh other considerations, I would pray daily not be returned there. At the end of five weeks we left for Cleveland, but I was never so proud of the old burg in my life. How they did feed and pamper us--the city folks, I mean. I just stuck out my chest an extra inch and on each possible occasion would announce to the bunch that Cleveland was my town. On August 25, Lamb and I (quite menagerie) returned to Indiana Harbor and boarded the S.S. Verona which has seen our home since. I am on duty from 12 noon till 6 and 12 midnight till 6, and they certainly keep us busy. There are ups and downs, of course; sometimes we smile and at times we damn roundly. But that was to be expected. During [the?] few weeks we have carried cargoes of iron ore, coal and limestone and have docked at Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Duluth, Superior, Buffalo, and many other points. During that time we have repeatedly covered the Great Lakes from from end to end as well as the rivers. Twice I have wheeled her through St. Clair river, once through Detroit river, once through St. Mary and twice through the "Soo" locks, once during the night with a heavy fog settling. We got lots of experience all right. Right now we are headed for an Erie port, identity unknown till we reach Detroit this noon. We are carrying ore loaded at Escanaba in a drenching rain (more experience) back to Cleveland. If all goes well I'll be off for Pelham then. Must sound the trimming tanks now to see that 10,000 tons of ore are not sinking into the lake. Sincerely, BEN BOER. DRAFTSWOMEN GET EXCELLENT POSITIONS Students of Summer Course in Drafting Get Wages Equal Experts Women who took the six weeks' work in drafting at the University last summer are now getting salaries equal to those formerly paid graduates in electrical engineering, declares Prof. H. G. Higbee of the college of applied science. One engineering company was so anxious to get draftsmen that it wanted to take the whole class of fifteen or twenty women. The bureau of air-craft production of the War Department has asked Professor Higbee to keep them in touch with students as soon as they graduate. Two girls who took the drafting course during the summer at the University are teaching the subject in technical high schools. One is employed in the Davenport locomotive works, four in the Western Electric company at Chicago. Some are awaiting civil service appointments and others are pursuing their college work.. Students who are college graduates command higher salaries and secure positions more easily than undergraduates, it is found. At present no drafting courses for women are being offered at the University, owing to the shortage of instructors and the crowded condition of the engineering college, but is hoped that an intensive course may be offered before the year ends. But the first time this year a woman instructor in mechanical drawing has been employed by the college of applied science. Miss Marguerite Saunders, a graduate o fthe University with a major in mechanical drawing, has been put on the faculty. Miss Saunders has had practical experience in drafting with several large concerns. POSTHUMOUS ARTICLE ON PRESS Just what hawks and owls in this state are beneficial and should be preserved is the subject of a posthumous article by Dr. H. B. Bailey, who has been taking advanced work at the University in zoology. Dr. Bailey's investigations concern only the economic aspects of the birds. Dr. Bailey was a professor at Coe college and was on a year's leave of absence for study at the University of Iowa when he contracted influenza and died. Miss Clementina Spencer, who took her master's degree from the University and is Dr. Bailey's successor at Coe has edited this report. The article was to constitute Dr. Bailey's dissertation for his doctor of philosophy degree. The Iowa geological survey is publishing the article which is to appear in bulletin form. Publications on the natural history of Iowa have appeared from time to time under the auspices of the geological survey. The most recent of these bulletins include the grasses of Iowa, weeds of Iowa, and the rodents of Iowa. Corporal W. Earl Hall, editor of The Daily Iowan in 1917-1918, spent Homecoming here. Hall Is now at Camp Dodge. Send the Iowan home. WILL STUDY SCHOOL CHILDREN OF IOWA Child Welfare Research Station at State University to Conduct New Survey What kind of a child the Iowa home delivers to the Iowa school will be the problem of a new investigation to be made in Iowa by the Child Welfare research station at the University. The small child will be examined physically, including dental examinations psychologically, and sociologically. To undertake this new survey in Iowa, the Child Welfare research station has secured Dr. Clara Harrison Town, a psychologist of note. Dr. Town, together with a social worker, will visit representative towns throughout the state and gather her data. Dr. Town has been until recently a consulting psychologist with offices in Chicago. Her work has been with mentally defective and retarded children, and those with language defects, such as stammering and stuttering. She has been resident psychologist at the Friends' Asylum for the Insane a Philadelphia, assistant in the psychological clinic at the University of Pennsylvania, where she took a doctor's degree, and state usychologist in the Lincoln state school and colony in Illinois. Dr. Town is the author of a book concerning experimental studies of the insane and has translated numerous books and articles in the psychology of abnormal mental conditions. Dr. Town's work in Iowa will be entirely among children just starting into school. This survey to be conducted by the Iowa Child Welfare research station is the first of its kind to be conducted in any state. Marguerite Shuell, a former student of the University, spent the week-end with her sister Maude, a senior in the liberal arts college.
