The body was brought to the Allen funeral home where it remained until this morning. A brief service conducted by President Bryan at the Student Building auditorium at 10 o'clock this morning marked the final tribute of the students and faculty of Indiana University to their teacher and associate. From Bloomington the body of Dr. Childs was taken to Stillwater, Min., for burial. Mrs. Lottie Kirby accompanied Mrs. Childs in behalf of the University.

Since that time he has been a member of the faculty of the school of education as professor of secondary education and director of supervised teaching. In addition to these duties, Dr. Childs has, for several years, served as chairman of the Indiana state committee on the commission of secondary schools of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools. Dr. Childs was affiliated with the Presbyterian church, was a Mason, and held membership in the National Educational Association, the national society for the study of education and in Phi Delta Kappa, national honorary educational fraternity.
