Champlin Studies Effects
Of War upon Education
. "The English and French children were better fed during,
the war than they are now," said Carrot D. Champlin, profes
sor of education, who has just returned from a trip to Eu-
Authorized by the College
upon echication, Dr. Champlin
children of England, Wales,
and Prance by virtue of Am
erican lend-lease and Red
Ciess . were able to obtain from
300 to 800 calories m,ore than the'
official amount allocated' to each
person. Whereas the amount al
located per day was somewhere
between 1200 and 1500 calories,
school children were able to eat
as'much as 2300 calories.
Tuberculosis is present among
20 to 30 per cent of the children
in Europe, tir. Champlin con
tinued. These figures would have
been much higher had it not
been for supplementary rations
from the United States.
Brings Home Valuable Material
Dr. Champlin brought back to
the United States 55 pounds—the
maximum, weight allowed with- .
out penalty—of books, bulletins,
pamphlets, reports, and photo
graphs.
"This material is of the great
est value because I had audience
with some of - the men who were
the administrative directors of
the evacuation • program at the
beginning of the 'blitz' in Eu-:
rope," said Dr. Champlin. "I ani
compiling a report to present to
the Office of Research Council
.at
the College." - •
Approximately 1,300,000 wo
men and children in England
were evacuated to five major
residential areas, Dr. Champlin
pointed out. Great Britain claims
this evacuation to be the largest
human migration in the shortest
time in the history of the world.
Plans for the exodus began
from London just a few days al-,
ter the Munich conference, be-
fore the bombing of Warsaw and
Rotterdam, the profesior- said.
All evacuees were. given priori
ties. Mothers with babies up to
two years • received number' one
priority. Subsequent groups were
made for expectant mothers, chil
dren two to' five years old, the
crippled, deaf, blind and aged,
and finally the remainder of the
school children. .
Only one casualty • occurred
throUghout the evacuation when
a little girl broke her arm. Cas
ualties •of the blitz in - - London,
however, were 70;000, and 'had'
it not 'been fof the 'eVactiation ..it
would have been a much larger
figure.
