COURSES OFFERED RELIGIOUS WORKERS
Various Departments Will Help the Minister and the Social Worker
     Courses which deal more or less directly with the problems of religious education will be offered next quarter in the college of liberal arts. They were selected from the various departments of the college several years ago for students preparing in religious service, especially from the social and philosophical standpoint.
     Although the University as a state institution provides no formal training in theology, these courses are largely applicable to the training of the minister or social worker.
     The economics department will offer beginning courses in principles of economics, criminology and principles of sociology next quarter.
     Prof. George F. Kay will give a two-hour course dealing with the fundamental principles of geology and their influence upon the intellectual and religious thought of man. Principles of geology may be taken three hours a week for the next two quarters in place of the regular two hour course the entire year.
     Dr. Sudhindra Bose will conduct a survey of oriental civilization with special reference to the political, social, economic, and religious factors in the awakening of the Orient.
     Courses in philosophy of evolution and aesthetics will be offered by Prof. E. D. Starbuck next quarter. An introductory course in educational psychology will be given, for which principles of education is a prerequisite.
     Professors of the economics and history departments will give a joint two-hour lecture course in the problems of peace and reconstruction. Beginning courses in recent European history, and in Greek and Roman history will also be given.
     Prof. Glenn N. Merry will present a two-hours course in the study of the public address, giving special attention to the lyceum lecture, the sermon, the eulogy, and other forms of the occasional address.
     All of the departments mentioned, together with the English and Romance language departments, have other courses dealing with the problems of the minister and the social worker. Several colonies of foreign residents afford facility for social service and study of special conditions. The college of medicine provides instruction for students who desire to prepare for service as medical missionaries.
PEACE DAY OVERSEAS DESCRIBED BY ISAACS
Lieut. Pritchard, University Man, Has  Experience With Boche-Iowans Meet Over There
     Peace day as it was celebrated in France is described by Lieut. Clarence B. Isaacs, a graduate of the University in 1914.
     Lieut. Isaacs was best known in the University for his prominence in literary activities. He was a member of the intercollegiate debating team and winner of the sophomore oratorical contest. He was author of a class song which was accepted by the senior in 1914. Lieut. Isaacs was also connected with The Daily Iowan.
     His letter to The Daily Iowan follows:
Nov. 17, 1918.
     The Daily Iowan:
     Perhaps few of the students at the University will recognize my name and not half the faculty know me. But I hope this letter will come to the attention of some whom I knew well while I was in the University.
     As I write, the war is over, and there is little to do but police up the region of the active fighting and ocsupy the menacing points of the enemy's territory. So perhaps the most interesting subject at present is the day Peace came.
     On that day we entrained Somewhere in France for Somewhere Else in France. The news that the armistice was signed flashed over the wires to the city where we were loading our equipments, and within an hour the entire city, one of France's large ones, had bloomed up in Red, White, and Blue, the flags of France predominant and our own most numerous among the rest. England's crosses, Belgium's black, yellow, and red, and Italy's tri-color were sprinkled all about. Every bell in France rang loud and long throughout the day. Every Frenchman in the Horizan blue, or the deeper color of the Blue Devils, or the natty O. D. of the Escadrilles, had just two words, 'Guerre Fim!" At first it was a joyous sound, but within the day it had become a monotonous noise.
     All along our line of travel the houses sprouted French, American, British, Belgian and Italian flags, everywhere men strolled with a contented smile, children's eyes sparkled as they waved their flags and shouted "Guerre Fim!" Women smiled but stood still, waving hands or flags and saying little.
     Later in the evening we heard in the larger towns the sound of signing groups of men, the maudin shouts of peace celebrators who found their celebration in inebriation. Not until the wee small hours of the night did the sounds of rejoicing, after their kind, die out, until the shrill squeal of our engine, whistling of a clear track and the rattling of the chains under the box cars, were the only sounds without. And the sound of heavy breathing, a raucous and nerve rasping snore, followed by a profane injunction and a generous nudge, were the only sounds within the officer's coach.
     There are many Iowa men in our division. Lieut. Arlen J. Wilson is in the 339th M. G., and has been promoted to first lieutenant. Lieut. F. O. West is somewhere in the 351st infantry, or was the last I knew. Lieut. Pritchard is somewhere in the Machine Gun although I do not know where. He had a rather thrilling and unique adven-thrilling and unique adventure while in the trenches. As it was told to me it occurred somewhat in this manner.
     Lieut. Pritchard and a sergeant were patrolling in No Man's Land. A Boche caught them and took Lieut. Pritchard's revolver. He nudged the sergeant who passed his gun to the lieutenant, and Pritchard knocked Fritz in the head. Thus they both escaped. I can only tell this as I heard it. I have not seen Lieut. Pritchard since the occurrence.
     While at school I met Capt. Crawford, anotehr Iowa man, Tau Delt, an Irving I think. And a Harvard man, a lieutenant told me Bob Wright is a sergeant n his outfit. Unfortunately I neglected to get his address at the time and have had no further opportunity. Bob makes an excellent sergeant, he told me, and has been recommended for officers' training school.
     This is rather a rambling letter, but am too busy to write at leisure. Best of all success to The Iowan and to the University.
Clarence B. Isaacs.
2nd Lieut. Inf. U. S. A.
