This fact is evident by the George-Deen Act recently passed by Congress, which allows certain definite aid to schools for the training of students through cooperative part time classes and also in service training for those now in distributive occupations. Des Moines is Iowa's center of commerce and in- dustry and there is an ever increasing demand for individuals specializing in any of the various business courses.

Donald is active in various sports in- cluding football, basketball, and track. The Railsplitter usually comes out every other week, and from six to eight issues are published each semester.
