Interests and Skills Classified
A new war personnel service division designed to aid students about to enter the army has been established recently at Princeton University. The service is for undergraduates who wish to determine prior to their induction into the army or before being called from an inactive reserve status to active training how their special abilities may be utilized by the army. It aids the classification officers in determining for what sort of duty the individual is best fitted.

6th Division Of Sailors Here Today
Two hundred trainees arrived this morning to form the sixth division of the Naval training school for machinists mates. The men received six weeks preliminary training in Naval training schools at Great Lakes. Ill, and Faragut, Idaho.
The other divisions are granted liberty within a 75 mile radius, but few have taken advantage of the ruling because transportation difficulties can not get them back in time.

Use Jayhawk Money In English Nursery
Two out of every three persons between the ages of 14 and 65, in England are devoting their full time to fighting, armament work, or civilian defense work. F. B. Price, the new British consul in Kansas City, told a group of faculty members and their wives at a luncheon yesterday noon in the University club in the Memorial Union building.
Altogether, there are 7 million women in England engaged either in armament work or in the military services, Mr. Price stated.
The fact that so many fathers and mothers are in wartime activities makes the need for nurseries much greater than ever before, he declared. He praised the University for help in establishing the Jayhawk Nursery in England to care for children made homeless by the war.
The nursery committee hopes to have Mr. Price here in the near future to speak in connection with a drive to obtain funds for another year's maintenance of the Jayhawk
Nursery, according to Dr. A. J. Mix,
chairman of the committee.
