"SPECIAL EDUCATION'
IS CONFERENCE TOPIC
DURING CLOSIMO WEE
SIXTH GROUP OF DISCUSS1ONS
ON CHILD TRAINING TO
BEGIN TOMORROW
BERRY TO START SERIES
Trowbridge Will Speak On "Charctei
Education;" Frostie On "Efficient
School Buildings"
"Special Elducation" will be the
theme for the final week of the in-
formal conference course, given by
the School of Education for school
men and women, which begins to-
morrow afternoon.
The course when completed will
have taken up six weeks of the sum.
mer course and included 23 lectures
and' conferences. There were six ma-
jor divisions of education as the
themes of the conferences.
Berry To Open Series
The theme for this week will be
opened by Dr. C. S. Berry, who will
discuss, "Special Education in Small
Centers." While the discussion will
show what can be accomplished by
special education in the smaller com-
munities, it is expected also to be
valuable for any community, for all
cities and towns in the 'state have
some children who come under this
class and who, at the present time,
are going without any special atten-
tion. According to Dr. Berry, 5 per
cent of the children are handicapped
and need special attention. He will
explain what to do with children of
this type, showing especially what
smgaller communities might hope to
accomplish along this line of endeav-
or.
Dr. Berry will continue his talk on
handicapped children on Tuesday
when he will center, his discussion
around "The Service Clinic." He Will
point out types of clinl%, how they
may be established, and what can be
accomplished by means of the clinic.
Agaii. he will show what can be done
in the smaller communities where
nothing is being accomplished at the
present. time, largely through lack
of knowledge on the subject. Dr.
Berry is advocating a travelling _clin-
ic, under the supervision of the state
department of education, this clinic
to be composed of trained workers
in this field. They will endeavor to
cooperate with school and health of-
ficials in each community.
Discuss Character Building
"Character Education" will be the
subject for Wednesday and the lecture
will b'e given by Prof. W. C. Trow-
bridge. He will indicate in his talk
the imhortance of character training
and ltow it has passed from the con-
trol of the home and is now given
largely through the schools. Efforts
along the line of school, men to im-
prove instructions in this type of edu-
cation will be shown and specific
sugge'stions will be given, to make
this problem morg easily solved by
the average school man, working in
the field.
On Thursday Supt. F. W. Frostic of
Wyandotte will discuss "Efficient
School Buildings." He Is the third of
school superintendents of the state
to iappegr on thb conference pro-
grams this summer. He has had much
experience in school buildings pnd is'
expected to give constructive thoughts
along ,'he lne not only of build-
ing new schools, but also of utiliz-
ing the schools already in operation.
