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.
