Children's Aid
Group Places
120_Orphans
Psychological And Hospital
Destitute Cases Given
Homes By Society
(Editor's Note: This is the last in a
series of articles discussing the vari-
ous sociological research, service and
training groups in Ann Arbor.).
Striving to give orpnaned children
a normal life, the Michigan Children's
Aid Society provided for more than
120 children during 1938, a statistical
report revealed yesterday.
The Society, which receives cases
from the University Hospital and has,
the Psychological Clinic of the Insti-
tute for Human Adjustment do most
of its psychological work, provides
homes for these children who would
otherwise be destitute, or in unfit
hands.
A number of them are placed in
boarding houses maintained by the
Society, but the majority is placed
with foster parents, who must under-
go complete investigation before be-
ing allowed to make a legal adoption.
The Psychological Clinic of the
University, in this connection, ex-
amines the real mother of the child,
if she is living, and a report is then
furnished the prospective parents who
are at least assured that the child is
of intelligent parents.
In additionrtothese services the
Society cares for children who are
delinquent but did not deserve being
sent to an institution. They are placed
in special boarding houses under the
supervision of a child expert.
The Society also works with num-
erous other institutions in solving
their child care problems, and offers
them its state-wide investigation ser-
vices.

Claiming they were confronted with eviction notices; nearly 1,000 sharecroppers in the area near Sikeston,
Mo., packed belongings and left their rickety homes to camp in the open air (some are shown,) in makeshift
shelters and tents along 100 miles of two major highways. The move was said to be a mass protest against
working conditions. Three-fourths of the camping families were Negroes.

The examination library was op-
ened in May, 1937 after an intensive
campaign by interested members of'
the faculty and student body. The
primary purpose of the project is to
give independent students the ad-
vantage enjoyed by fraternity and so-
rority members who have access to
files in their houses.
Since its beginning the collection
has grown rapidly having added 127
examinations to the original number
of 75 in 1937. Its sponsors hope that
examinations will be contributed by
professors and students at the end
of each semester.
Lillian Rickel, librarian of the
I study hall, stressed especially the
! need for examinations in the fields of
anthropology, economics, physics,
French and German. Any one wish-

Student Cyclists Are Urged
To Install Lights And
Drive More Carefully
By NORMAN SCHORRK
Ann Arbor's 2,000 cyclists are be-I
coming an increasing menace to thel
safety of its citizens, and the local
branch of the Michigan Automobile
Club has begun a drive to eliminate
causes of bicycle accidents, William
Strickland, director of the Auto Club
and Prof. rRoger Morrison of the
highway engineering department, an-
nounced yesterday.
Although complete figures are not
avrilable at present on the number of
injuries and deaths resulting from
bicycle accidents in Ann Arbor, Pro-
fessor Morrison, who is chairman of
the local Traffic and Safety Division,
declared that the problem has be-
-come very acute of late. Cyclists, a
largenumber of whom are University
students, have been very careless in
their traffic violations.
Twenty per cent of these accidents
result when the automobile driver is
not able to see night cyclists, who
travel without lights, he explained.
A very large number of these acci-
dents are caused by "double riding"
and passing carelessly at intersections,
Mr. Strickland pointed out. He cit-
ed examples of mishaps caused when
cyclists did not watch cars at "stop"
streets, rode by swiftly without sig-
naling the driver in any way.
A city ordinance forbids riding on
sidewalks, Professor Morrison said,
but this provision is flagrantly vio-
lated as well is the ban on cycling
more than two abreast.
University officials announced re-
cently that they would enforce the
Board of Regents order, forbidding
bikes on campus. Parking stands for
the bicycles are being constructed at
the outer points.
The auto club officials recommend-
ed that students adopt the following
code issued by the State Auto Club
as a guide in their cycling:
1. Two on a bike is one too many.
2. All traffic lights and other traf-
fic signals apply to bicycles.
