Course Is Planned To Meet Need Of Administrators Of Education In Praise for the work and growth of the Summer Session was given In an editorial printed recently in The Lexington Leader, Lexington's afternoon newspaper. The editorial pointed to the course in diagnostic and remedial reading as clearly indicating "the pains which have been taken by the director of the Summer School, Dr. Jesse Adams, to secure for the sessions the best available talent, and to make the school equal to the most noted in the country." It is because of this policy of the Summer Session, the editorial further pointed out. "that The University Summer School attendance has grown so surprisingly, and beyond the rate of growth shown by other schools in the United States." The complete editorial follows: "It appears invidous, at first glimpse, to give prominence to any particular course, or courses, among the more than 600 offered at the University of Kentucky Summer School, which so far, has increased its registrations substantially over last year. "But special attention is here directed to the reading course which will Involve the study of problems State DR. BAGLEY HEADS LIST OF TEACHERS Scott, Audience Applauds Grace And Rhythm Of Spanish Dancer Is Colorful By WILLIAM SCULLY Depicting various phases of Spanish dancing. La Trianita, famed International dancer, performed before a capacity filled house at the second convocation of the Summer School held last Friday morning in Memorial Hall. The audience accepted the artist at once as was revealed by the generous applause that greeted her after her first number. Vividly dressed In brightly colored Spanish costumes, the youthful and lithe little dancer revealed excellent rhythm and grace in her interpre tations of the varoius dances which dominate parts of Spain. Mr. William Kulkman, who assist ed the dancer at the piano, was no doubt an asset to the numbers In which. La Trianita performed. His music offered a splendid background for the dances and was brought out in such a fashion that one was hardly aware of it. As she entered on the stage for her second number, dressed in gypsy costume, French heeled slippers and finger symbols, which revealed the sound of bells. La Trianita distin guished herself, inasmuch that she was equally as capable in the por trayal of the swaying and renberses of the hauty, firey gypsy, as she was in the more classical roles of the sophisticated Spanish dancer. Twice between La Trianita 's performances, Mr. Kulkman presented selections of classical music at the piano. The first was "Viva Navarro" by Ra Regla and "Danza De Feugo" by De Falla. The solos were nicely done and added to the program, and that they were enjoyed was shown when the youthful musician had to play an encore to his first number. When La Trianita came forth with her third number she wore toe slippers which could not be accounted for, since the number was short and consisted of no toe dancing but merely a few pirouettes and steps that ended after several enterchat-quatres. na, Leader Editorial Praises Work Of Summer Session I Holiday In playing the castanets the SpanFeatured on the program win be ish dancer proved to possess much a vocal solo by Mary Louise prominent Lexington so- ability, beauty and rhythm, as they prano.

Listening Center System Renders Unique Service person in each locality was named as su pre visor, being instructed to tune in programs of most value and encourage the neighbors to come in and listen. In addition, two trained supervisors, employed by the National Youth Administration, were assigned circuits consisting of eight centers each. Their Job is to organize various listening groups according to the needs and desires of the communities. These groups consist of current event clubs, children's groups, farmer's groups, music appreciation clubs, and nature study clubs. Each supervisor spends a week at each center, enabling her to make a complete circuit In two months. The University finances the administration of the system, but the cost of the receiving sets comes from donations. At first these radios were old battery sets, but they gave such poor reception that the University is replacing them with mosets as fast dern as donations will allow. Each set will serve, on the average, about forty mountain families. This system, though comparative-(Continue- d on Page Four) A responsible Fayette Farmers Hear Dr. Williams Dr. B. O.
