Vitamin A, the Anti-Infective vitamin, is useful in the cure of certain kinds of blindness.

The yellow and green parts of vegetables frequently contain elements that turn Vitamin A in the body.

Scott To Speak Before Club of Administrators
Dr. Preston H. Scott of Detroit will headline the speaking program for the next meeting of the Administrators club to be held a week from tomorrow in the Foyer of Town and Gown.

Dr. Scott was a visiting professor on the campus last year in the School of Speech. He has lectured once this summer in the series of speech discussion groups. It is his theory that speech Is the one social tool that can integrate knowledge in all of the other fields most successfully. Since this is so, good lesson plans will emphasize this tool.
Following up this theory. Dr. Scott found that the lesson plans of the best teachers in the Detroit elementary system were approximately three-fourths oral activities.
El Rodeo Photos May Be Taken
Summer Session students who will complete work on degrees this summer and thus be eligible to be represented in El Rodeo, the SC annual, should make appointments without delay to have their pictures taken at the office of the University photographer, located on the comer of University avenue and 35th place, opposite the Administration building.
Since the yearbook is not able to print photographs taken by anyone other than the University photographer. due to considerations of size, texture, etc., it Is necessary that those people who do not intend to refum to the campus during the regular session should make their appotntenento immediately.
