the Utah A A college was not restricted to the military phase Through the three main divisions ot of the the division ot of Interior thu experiment station and the extension division the college was able to render I Utah most valuable aid In the ot of many ot of the pressing agricultural I commercial and industrial problems I that confronted the state War Var placed even a higher valuation than peace on trained leadership the division ot of interior Instruction or the college proper located at Logan adI adJusted ad- ad its curricula at the very beginning beginning begin begin- I ning ot of the war to meet chan changed ed educational educational edu- edu needs As a result of this I change the institution was able to offer of- of fer intensive courses designed to aid the nation in the successful prosecution prosecution tion ot of the war The importance of Utah as a sugar producing state and the great shortage short short- age ot of sugar gave particular value toa to toa a short intensive course on sugar beet culture given by the college to practical cal farmers and field men ot of various Western Vestern beet sugar factories This course which ran for weeks during the winter ot of 1917 18 answered a very direct direct di- di need of Utah's sugar producers A similar course offered to representatives tives ot of canning companies gave the most advanced Ideas In the growth ann ana care ot of canning crops Special courses on the proper selection ot of seed wheat and the production of wheat were given en en as were courses on the proper feeding teed feed Ing ot of beet beef animals care ot of swine cow management increased poultry poultry poul- poul try production the care of war gardens gardens gar gar- dens and farm management I FOOD SAVING It is useless to produce more it if the increase is to be wasted or used I not wisely Realizing this the school ot of home economics bent Its energies to demonstrating the principles ot of food conservation to the end that not only the increase might be saved but that even a greater saving might be saved The nutritive values ot of different foods were vere studied in class work Students were taw taw-ht how substitutes might save necessary wheat neat meat and sugar The conservation ot of clothing was taught Young women were prepared prepared pre pre- pared to go out over the state and act as leaders in the important food and clothing conservation campaigns Red Cross workers were trained Preliminary Pre Pre- training for nursing wa was given given en and thousands ot of articles were made by the young oung women students for the lied Hed Cross FARM MACHINERY Possibly the greatest Interest was manifested by br farmers of the West est in inthe inthe the extensive work given by the iii- iii in autos and farm tractors During the winter quarter over fifty farmers and tractor operators attended attend attend- ed a special war course Por those who could not spend a full quarter at atthe atthe the college a very intensive course of two weeks week duration was given at atI I which over were in I A similar course running for the spring quarter had an attendance of thirty The extensive equipment equipment equip equip- ment the college had available for this w work rk and the added Importance lent to the farm tractor by the shortage ot of labor made these courses of extreme value in the increased production campaign earn cam waged by the nation This was doubled during the suii- suii mer of 1918 when the college trained several hundred soldiers as auto me- me I With these new facilities the Institution will be able to offer even more extensive courses In autos ann ana anaa I farm a t tractors r in the future act 2 LABOR SHORTAGE SHORTAGE- The labor shortage In 1917 iS due towar to towar war conditions was probably as great in the field of business as aE It as in agriculture To 10 meet an Insistent demand demand de- de mand upon the part of the government and of private business concerns for trained office help the cOllege Intensive courses In stenography typewriting bookkeeping and office management In these courses students stu- stu dents could specialize to the exclusion exclusion sion of all else and thus secure in It a few months the technical information that is generally acquired only after ller llera a much larger period Many students who took advantage ot of these courses were placed In Important and lucrative lucra- lucra tive positions MILITARY FRENCH TAUGHT In order that young men who expected ex- ex to be called Into active service and get to France might know something some some- something thing of the French language the department do- do ot of modern languages offered three courses in military French rench The department ot of history

ot of leading American Amen Ameri- can and allied statesmen were Used for study Throughout the year the college college col- col lege aimed to give that valuable practical practical information so necessary there Is Important work worle to be bedone done and at the same arne time to maintain those ideals ot of AmerIcan democracy to save which America entered the war |
