The Independent Finds Heilenth Improved But Culture Gone
Magazine Appraises
Work of Student Army
The establishment of the S. A. T. C. has brought both gains and losses to the men in it, says a writer in the current number of The Independent.
Among the gains one notice the increase in courtesy and good manners of the students. And the uniform is becoming impressive when seen upon them, though it may not be becoming to the individual taken by himself.
By Board
The health of the students has been promoted by the regular habits of military life. Regular meals, regular physical exercise, and regular hours of school much to show that student that the way of regularity is the way of health.
Another gain is noticed in the increase in the democratic spirit of the college. The strata of social demarcations which are much too characteristic were cut down or very largely demolished.
But the losses in higher educational values are not to be disregarded. Culture, intellectual breadth, have gone by the board. The power of reasoned judgment, of considerateness for contrary principles, of willingness to listen and reflect have been brought into jeopardy.
The many college activities such as the college newspapers, the dramatic clubs, the literary societies, etc., have contributed to the loss of their male members.
Yet the S. A, T. C, has not been a failure. Its advantages have tended to balance its disadvantages. And even if they do not, its establishment was a wartime necessity.

Omicron Nu to Aid In School Lunch Plan
Miss Maud A. Brown, assistant director of physical education in the Kansas City, Mo., schools, addressed a meeting of Omicron Nu recently on the Child Health Organization and its plan for recording the physical development of pupils in the public schools.
The plan was devised by the eminent child health specialist in the Department of Child Health.
Every pupil in the school rdom is weighed and measured once a month and the data recorded on a uniform file. This helps to weigh weights of children, given heights.
Children who are ten per cent under weight are referred to the school physician. In some cases the parents may be appealed to but only about six per cent respond. The services of the nurse, however, increase the results.
In New York only seventeen per cent of the pupils were properly nourished, and twelve per cent were of the worst type of malnutrition.
in New York twenty-four "food scouts" were selected from a group of malnourished pupils. Each of these "scouts" signed a pledge to eat the school lunch at noon and their other meals as planned by a dietation, to sleep ten hours each night, to take a mid-day nap, exercise out doors every day, and to eat a mid-day lunch. The physical and mental development of these "scouts" was then compared with that of other pupils records.
A "Little Mothers League" was a
already organized and the little girls
were asked to help.
The need of improving the physical condition of students is very apparent and the simplicity of the plan of child organization recommends itself.
Plans for introducing the plan in the Lawrence schools are now being considered by Superintendent Kent, the department of home economics.
The active *members of Omicron* Nu assisted by the school nurse will probably take up the work next quarter in the city schools.

What would you ask for if the gods decreed that the one thing you wanted you could have?

—the glorious thing that an unvenied American youth found in France in the midst of battle, the thing that brought him all that's really worth while? Is it that?
Victory? Money? Love? The Distinguished Service Cross? The Sight of home at the end of the war? Or is it—
