IS AUTHORITY IN FIELD LAST WEEK OF REINER
Of Particular Note To Physical Education and Education Students
» “The New Era in Health Education” will be the subject for the next Thursday afternoon lecture. Dr. Henry Stoddard Curtis, Director of Hygiene and Physical Education for the State of Missouri, is to be the speaker, and a large audience is expected. This lecture will be held in room H.
206 at 4 P. M.
Dr. Curtis is widely famed as a lecturer, author and traveler. He holds an A. B. from Olivet University, an A. B. from Yale, and a Ph.D. from Clark University. Some of the responsible positions he has held have been as
Assistant Director and later General Director of the playgrounds of New York City; Supervisor of the Playgrounds of the District of Columbia; and Director of Hygiene and Physical Training for the State of Missouri, a position which he has held since 1923.
Despite all of his exacting duties as a public official and the time demanded to make the numerous speeches he has given in practically every state of the union, Dr. Curtis has found it feasible to write many books and pamphlets on public health and the playground work. Some of his better known works are: “The Play Movement and Its Significance”; “Practical Conduct of Play’’; “Education Through Play”; and “Play and Recreation in the Open Country.”
His lecture is a particularly special event for the Summer Session Phys* ical Education students. This department is by tar the strongest on the Pacific Coast this summer, claiming as students a great number of teachers from all states in the Union. Dr. Curtis’ lecture is looked forward to as significant in this field and by teachers in general.

Conduct Trip To Scene Of Prehistoric Mammoth Trap
Professor Sedgwick in Charge of Excursion Next Saturday To Famous La Brea Asphalt Deposits Where Many Animals Perished
Tust west of Los Angeles, and almost within a stone’s throw of the city limits, a vast amount of material, relics of pre-historic animal life, has been unearthed which has given a clear conception of the type of animals that lived in this vicinitv many thousands of years ago.
There always has been a wide-spread interest in these deposits, but students and visitors are seldom so fortunate as to be on the ground with someone who can explain something of the vast wealth of material that has been uncovered. Dean Rogers is anxious that the faculty and students of the Summer Session be given an opportunity to visit the pits and to see the reconstructed animals at the Museum when there is someone along to tell the interesting story

°study. Among his fellow faculty members, however, he was still more closely known for his great kindliness and for his very genuine sincerity and tact.
