Tuesday, January 14, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA PAGE THREE SOCIETY PLANNING IOWA WAR HISTORY Ten Volume Edition of State's Activity in Great Conflict to be Published The State Historical society of Iowa is making plans for a comprehensive and monumental history of Iowa's part in the world war, as a memorial to the citizens of Iowa who serves in a great cause. Material for such work has been collected ever since America entered the war. In the historical researches which have recently been published by the society in the "Iowa Journal of History" in the "Iowa and War," pamphlets and in several substantial volumes a background for the undertaking has already been developed. The history which is to be a record of the people of Iowa as well as a military record, will cover eight or ten volumes. Some of the subjects which are to be included in the outline are the selective draft, volunteers for the officers training camp, the schools in war time, Camp Dodge, the Students Army Training corps, and the war work of the Y.M.C.A. and the K. C. HUMANIST MEETING HELD Prof. C.E. Young Spoke on Modern Methods of Teaching French Prof. C. E. Young, chairman of the Romance language department, spoke at the meeting of the Humanist society Monday evening on modern methods of teaching French, with special reference to methods used in the University. The society met at the home of Prof. and Mrs. J. H. Scott. "The question of methods,' stated Professor Young is determined by the question of aims." The department in the University aims to give the student a reading knowledge of the language, a phonetically accurate pronunciation, an opportunity to understand spoken French and to lay a foundation for the speaking of the language, according to Professor Young. Instructors in the department endeavor in all courses to acquaint the student with the life, thought, history, and civilization of the French people. The talk of a league of nations at the present time makes it of primary importance that students understand this international language. Professor Young emphasized the point that any language which helps us to understand the thought and character of another nation helps us to become better American citizens and to deal more intelligently with our alien countrymen. DANIELS-GIBSON Bessie Daniels, assistant surgical nurse at the University hospital, and Paul Gibson, senior medical student, were married in Cedar Rapids Saturday. Mr. Gibson is a member of the Phi Rho Sigma fraternity and will graduate in March. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson will continue their work for the present and will reside in Iowa City.
