Owning the the reports taking so

in life.
Ralph N. McEntire speaking to the
topic, "Why Eight Boys Left Sunday
Sschool," blamed the fact to the Sun
day schools not having been made in

Free Course in War
Time Food Problems
Miss lone Duffy of the Vant Sant
school will do her bit for Uncle Sam
by offering a course in war time food
problems to Omaha housewives and
heads of public institutions free of
charge. Miss Irma Gross; domestic
science instructor at the Central High
school and home economic contributor
to The Bee, will give ninety-minute
lecturer to the classes which will
meet twice a week at the Van Vant
school.
One course will be given on Tues
days and Thursdays from 10:30 to 12
a. m. and the other on Wednesdays
' and Fridays from 10:30 to 12.
The school was first planned as a
live-day course with a tuition fee of
25 cents a lecture. "Owing to the fact
that there were no other agencies in
the city during the summer for the
scientific study of food values, and
the- immediate need of co-operation
with Herbert Hoover's food conser
vation campaign, I felt too patriotic
to eliminate some people who might
not come," said Miss Duffy. "I jnly
asl; that those who attend will be
willing to impart their knowledge to
others," she added.
All reservations must be made by
Saturday of this week at the Van Sant
school, 220 Omaha National Bank
building, or by telephoning Douglas
