^ |"P' 1j 8 in tl|e Qlttg of N?m fork WAR EMERGENCY COURSES FOR STUDENTS IN TEACHERS COLLEGE May 20 to 29 Teachers CoUejge expects her students to do their bit this summer toward winning the war. The special lectures and condensed courses announced in this bulletin have been arranged especially for Teachers College students with the aim of preparing them to engage in some of the opportunities for war emergency service open during the summer vacation. These courses take the place of the regular college work for the last two weeks of the present semester. Each course aims to be thoroughly practical. These courses supple- ment the regular work of the year by an intensive study of the special problems and duties connected with the several types of war service now open. The chief opportunities available for Teachers College men and women this summer are as follows : 1. American Red Cross work. 2. Y. M. C. A. andY. W.C.A. and overseas service. 3. The training of boy and girl scouts. 4. Day nursery and playground work for young chil- dren. 5. The organization of club work for young women. 6. Teaching housewives food preservation, the new economic cookery, wartime dietetics, the pres- ervation and the renovation of clothing, and «•• Tf***"^ -. household thrift. 7. Teaching mothers child conservation and the care of infants. 8. The promotion of social hygiene in wartime. 9. Automobile mechanics and repairing. 10. Agricultural work. 11. Physical reconstruction work in hospitals. 12. Social recreation for war centers and cantonments. 13. Patriotic propaganda through public speaking con- cerning war savings, liberty bonds, and food conservation. The courses outlined in this bulletin give either full preparation for the above activities or tell one exactly how to get such preparation as may be necessary beyond that offered by Teachers College. A students' committee has been canvassing the students of Teachers College to learn their vacation plans concerning war service work this summer. The result of this canvass indicates that practically every reg- ular student of Teachers College is planning to devote from one to three months of the coming summer to war service of some one of the kinds described in this bulletin.
