Lowell Carr, director of the Michigan Child Guidance Institute. Unlike other research projects, this one, by means of a mental hygiene program, is attempting to eliminate the conditions producing maladjust- ment rather than following the us- ual procedure of treating children and pareits after they have become social misfits. The section of Monroe chosen by .he Institute comprises approximate- ly 1,000 families and is cut off from the rest of the city. Those under observation will come mainly from the low income class, and will differ widely in race and nationality. Employing slightly different meth- ods and objectives than those used by Dr. Clifford Shaw of the Institute of Juvenile Research in Chicago in his area project, the Michigan Child Guidance Institute will follow Dr. Shaw's main technique of utilizing local resources in order to - get its mental hygiene project across.. The project will go into effect as soon as the details and plans of or- ganization have been approved by the steering committee, which will meet Thursday. The University faculty. members on the steering committee include: Prof. Lowell Carr, Director of the Michigan Child Guidance Institute James Stermer, Community Co-ordi- nator for the Michigan Child Guid- ance Institute, Dr. Wallace Watt, Field Investigator for the Child Guid- ance Institute, Dr. Howard McClusky, Professor of Education, Clark Tib-; betts, Institute for Human Adjust- ment.

Internes' Dorms Opened Dec. 21 FROM A FLAG-DRAPED rostrum before a joint session of Congress, President Roosevelt made a plea, for na- tional unity in a war-torn world in his annual address at the opening of the Congressional session. The Presi- dent told the legislators that "the only important incre ,sc in any rart of the budget is the estimate for national defence." "Behind the President are Speaker William B. Bankhead (left) of the House and Vice-President John N. Garner. War Service Provokes controversy Added to the long list of innova- tions to which the University lays claim is the establishment of the first permanent chair of the Art and Science of Teaching in an American university. The sixtieth anniversary of this first recognition by higher education of its duties to general education was celebrated in the year just past, and reminds students of the simple, pro- gressive beginning of the present large School of Education, with its pretentious equipment and large faculty. It was in the year 1879 that the Regents of the University called upon William Harold Payne, then Super- intendent of Schools in Adrian, to fill the chair. Although it is true that a few other schools saw the needtfor formal training for teach- ing, the University was the first to set up a permanent chair devoted ex- clusively to the Science and Art of Teaching. For forty years prior to 1879 successive superintendents of public instruction agitated for the training of teachers in other subjects Michigan Band TO Give Recital Program To Be Presented Over Detroit Station Preceding the annual midwinter concert, a specially arranged pro- gram will be broadcast by the Uni- versity Band over Station WJR De- troit from Hill Auditorium, 12:15 to 12:45 p.m., Jan. 14.

Although many of the selections chosen for the broadcast will be played at 4:15, p.m. the same after- noon at the annual midwinter con- cert a studio audience will be, ad- mitted to . the broadcast. Donn Chown, student conductor of the band, will announce the program. New York University provides its= faculty members with a special weather forecasting service. beside pure scholarship. As early as 1849, a bill was introduced in the Legislature providing for the Michi- gan State Normal College at Ypsilanti. President Tappan in 1856 said that the "highest institutions were neces- sary to raise up instructors of the proper' qualifications." As a result, in 1858, the catalogue included a course in ancient languages speci- fically set up for teachers. When James B. Angell became president of the University in 1871, he soon showed that he was sym- pathetic-toward the idea of training and professional training for teach- ers. He felt the need of additional evidence as to the qualifications of students when asked to certify for their competency as teachers in high schools. He presented the matter to the Regents for consideration in his report for 1874. In that same year special teachers' diplomas were given students who were thought to have special fitness for teaching, as a result of examina- tions. In 1878 President Angell again brought forward the subject of pro- fessional training, and, the follow- ing year, Payne was tendered the chair.

As it is now completed, the build- ing consists of three stories and aj ground floor and is designed to per- mit the addition of two more stories. It is located just to the north of the Neuropsychiatric Institute with a well lighted foot-tunnel connecting it with the Hospital, making possible quick access to and from rooms. On the ground floor is a large well-lighted recreation room with about 2,000 square feet of floor sur- face, which can be used for parties, meetings, cards, billiards or ping pong. A combination squash and handball court offers the internes facilities found in very few similar buildings in the country. The remaining floors contain the living quarters for the internes. While the majority of the rooms are single, a few double rooms have been provided. 1 l 1 Ilt l l s i x t z 1 k z c t By RICHARD HARMEL and KARL KESSLER# With President Roosevelt's solemn promise "to keep the United States out of the war abroad" vaguely rem- iniscent of Woodrow Wilson's self- same declaration in 1916, the more pessimistic of political observers in- terpret the President's pledge as an ominous omen. If, because of some unlucky com- bination of circumstances, America plunges into war, the men who will, wear the khaki will be drawn from all walks of life in the first, second and third drafts. College men will be among the first to be affected. The Inquiring Reporters, conscious that the present day college man is a sane, level-headed chap not easily influenced by the blare of martial music, set out to discover what he thought about going to war. They. asked- THE QUESTION: If the United States were to go to war tomorrow, would you enlist, sub- mit to the draft or act in some other manner? THE ANSWERS: Hugh McVeigb, Jr., '41, "If the} United States were to go to war, I probably would enlist immediately because a commission in the army is more easily obtained if you enlist voluntarily rather than wait to be drafted. In event that I could not get a commission, I, would do every- thing in my power to dodge the draft. First, I would get married. Second, I would adopt three or four children. If all that failed, I've always had a stronger desire to see some of the islands in the South Seas--without the company of my wife of course." Maurice Richards, Grad., "I would not enlist. If drafted, I would go unwillingly because up to now, I see no definite reason why the Unit- ed States should go to war. We seem to be taking the same path that brought us into the last one though.. A Michigan Congressman is trying to pass a 61 million dollar loan for the Finns. Such lending buried us so deep in 1917 that we had to fight to save that money." Alan Fleischman, '42L, "I'd enlist bfecause once Congress declares war, I'd be in it sooner or later. So-if I enlist, I could get in the depart- ment I would wish, namely the navy. Serving with the navy would find me protecting the American seacoast- not fighting in some filthy, lice- laden trench over there." Harold Ossepow, Grad., "I'm one Yank that is not going under any condition for there are only two con- ditions: either fighting for Britain or fighting against Russia. The events of this decade can only be under- stood in terms of a struggle between' world capitalism and world social- ism-and I'll only fight for one. If the dirty thirties are not to become the gory forties, if a decade of dead ends is not to become a decade of decadence, the United States, with vested interests in it, must preserve the inalienable right of my genera- tion to live in peace." Ted King, '40, "I'm a conscientious objector today because there is no justification for the United States becoming involved in the present conflict. I believe the present war between Germany and the Allies is a repetition of the old alignment of powers. The victorious bloc will sub- ject the loser and thus sow seeds for a future conflict. War cannot settle any problem." Prof. McLaughlin Made New Secretary 0f A.A.S. Prof. Dean B.

A department store, for example, changed its ordinary lighting to a corn- bination of indirect lighting and spot lighting. The change of lighting was made in the women's ready-to-wear de- partment, andtraffic in this section ofthe store was so increased that additional salespeople had to be called in and the sale of featured dresses increased 60%. * In like manner, light can be used to div ert traffic to a counter, a single dis- flay, or through certain desired aisles to the back of the store.
