(Continued from Fage 1.)
Other members of the confer
ence committee nre Prof. Clara
Wilson, chairman of the depart
ment of kindergarten and ele
mentary education; and Prof.
W. H. Morton, chairman of thi
department of secondary educa
tion. Both are members of the
University of Nebraska faculty.
Teachers and administrators
attending the university's 1941
summer school will have an oppor
tunity to analyze and discuss some
of the state's major educational
problems in a series of seven ad
ministrative clinics being planned
by Dr. W. K. Beggs.
Originated in 1939, the clinics
are designed to bring students
of education into a cooperative
analysis of teaching techniques
and devices, administrative prob
lems and outstanding movements
in the educational world. In gen
eral this year's clinics are directed
toward a better coordination of
state educational agencies.
On June 13 the first clinic will
take up "WPA's Contribution to
Nebraska Education." In regard to
this symposium Dr. Beggs says,
"Considerable confusion has de
veloped among educators and lay
men alike as to the basic purpose
of the federal agency. Some feel
that it constitutes a danger in
setting up a parallel system of
education in competition with the
public schools. Others feel that it
is only temporary and will be
dropped gradually as its need ex
pires. WPA officials appear
A third group argues that the
service rendered is valuable and
that WPA can become a profitable
cooperating agency with public
schools, especially in such fields as
adult education, recreation, health,
service, music, and related fields.
This clinic will bring WPA offi
cials and school people into a
cooperative examination of these
viewpoints in an effort to work
out a cooperative plan of attack
on educational problems of the
state."
The second clinic on June 17
will consider "NYA A Work Pro
gram for Needy Youth." This
meeting will consider the exten
sive out-of-school youth program
carried on by the NYA along with
its program for needy youth in
the schools. A symposium of NYA
officials will state the policy and
briefly explain the main points of
their program. The audience will
then be allowed to ask questions
for further information. Nothing
official in the way of conclusions
can be reached at these meetings,
Dr. Beggs explains, but their
value will lie in providing a better
understanding between educators
and these federal agencies.

"The Effective Use of Available
Audio-Visual Aids" is the subject
of a clinic on June 24 which will
discuss the problem of small
schools in utilizing effectively and
economically the wide variety of
technical equipment which has
been developed to visualize edu
cation through pictures and sound.
An all-day exhibit will be set up
by commercial firms and a demon
stration panel discussion will be
held.
On July 1 a clinic is planned on
"A Functional In-Service Training
Program" to take up agencies and
devices developed by the univer
sity through its teachers college
and extension division. The univer
sity will point out how it can give
assistance in interpreting teachers'
problems, in securing instructional
materials, and in promoting pro
fessional growth. Administrators
and teachers will be able to point
out needs that are not being met
and possible new services needed.
Consider state honors convo
"Ways and Means to Better Ar
ticulation of Nebraska Secondary
Schools and Institutions of Higher
Learning" is the topic set ,for
July 8. Questions will be analyzed
at this clinic in an effort to point
a way to a better understanding
of mutual problems of the two
groups and the possibilities of a
state high school honors convo
cation will be considered.
A clinic on July 15 will discuss
"National Teachers Examinations
and Their Effectiveness for Ne
braska Teachers." Development of
such examinations has been spon
sored by the American Council on
Education with standardizations
and norms to enable school admin
istrators to secure a comparative
rating of prospective teachers thru
their test scores. Advantages and
limitations of this type of exami
nation will be called to the atten
tion of Nebraska school people.
The closing clinic on July 22 is
planned to consider "Teacher
Selection and Placement Problems
of 1941." Ethics involved in apply
ing for a position, the rapid turn
over from year to year, the experi
enced vs. the inexperienced teacher
are some of the subjects which
should interest educators. A new
angle may enter the discussions in
the question of whether supply will
continue to exceed demand in 1941
as has been the case for the last
ten years.
