Approximately 800 students
from the Lincoln grade, junior, and
senior high schools have made ap
plications for scholarships to art
cisses sponsored by the Nebraska
Art association. This course for
talented youngsters will begin
Saturday at Morrill hall.
First group will meet Saturday
to try out for the class, and many
more boys and girls will be flock
ing to the hall of fine arts the next
two Saturdays.
This will be the fifth year for
the classes under the Nebraska
Art association sponsorship and
each year attendance has increased
immensely. Approximately 120
students were accepted for in
struction last year, due to a lack
of helpers. The 1941-42 applica
tion list is far greater.
Not only Lincoln grade, junior,
and senior high school students at
tend, but also a large number of
pupils from grade schools of the
county come. According to Miss
Lyda Dell Burry, supervisor, stu-
dents from the rural schools
usually have better attendance
records than do their city cousins.
So enthusiastic are these "little
folks" that seldom is a snow storm
deep enough to hinder them from
coming and painting "to their
heart's content." All the "kids"
love to get the chance to draw
with pencil and chalk, try water
color and oil, clay modeling and
many other media.
The largest number of appli
cants is expected from the grades.

Tentative figures include: 600
from the grades, 150 from the jun
ior highs, and 50 high school stu
dents. Those not successful in ob
taining the scholarships will be
placed on a waiting list, and as
soon as vacancies occur the alter
nates will have a chance.
This year's plans call for one
long "class" running from No
vember until spring. In previous
years only semester scholarships
were provided.
Students otherwise denied the
opportunity will now have the
chance to not only "paint and
draw to their heart's content" but
also develop a style. Perhaps one
of these curly headed youngsters
will be given the chance to bud
and become John Steuart Currys,
and Grant Woods.
Assisting Miss Burry will be
Miss Irmel Bush, sculpture, and
Miss Katerine Schwake, fashion.
Turney Sharrar, a university
sophomore, a one time pupil of the
classes, will have one class, and

rector of Institute of Interna
tional Education, discussed the ad
justment of foreign students in the
United States at the first general
session yesterday afternoon, while
social security and its relationship
to higher education was taken up
by John B. St. John, chief actuary
for the Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance.
Because of the war now going
on in Europe, students from the
western hemisphere who normally
would attend European universi
ties are participating in an ex
change of students between the
U. S. and Latin America, explained
Dr. Fisher.
In order to bring about satis
factory adjustment of Latin Am
erican students m this country and
to create development of interna
tional understanding and Ameri
can solidarity, President Roosevelt
in 1940 appointed an advisory com'
mittee on the adjustment of for
eign students to assist the state
department in its program of cul
tural activities, said the speaker,

Thirty-six students from Maea
lester college are going to find
out, first hand, how things are
done in Canada.
With their president. Charles J.
Turck, and two faculty members
they will leave about Nov. 15 for
Winnipeg, Canada, where, for lour
days they will be guests of the
United College of Winnipeg.
Open forums with Canadian stu
dents will occupy the first two
days, and the week end will be
given to social gatherings. Cana
dian students expect to come to
Maealester for a similar period
next year.
and interviews with North Amer
ican business men and educators
are helpful in facilitating adjust
ment of foreign students before
their arrival here, continued Dr.
Fisher.
Special Guidance Needed.
Every institution should provide
special guidance and counseling
for foreign students, in order to
clarify academic regulations, cus
toms, and traditions to them, ne
declared.
"It is singularly unfortunate that
we have had such slight experi
ence with the other peoples in this
hemisphere, said Dr. Fisher, "and
it is incumbent upon us to increase
our understanding of the back
grounds of other nations."
He decried the indifference and
prejudice which sometimes greets
foreign students in the university
towns, and cited instances In which
foreign students have been taken
advantage of by unscrupulous citi
zens. Education Aids Defense.
"The successful orientation of
the Latin American students con
stitutes an important link in de
velopment of stronger co-operative
relations among all the countries
of this hemisphere,'.' concluded Dr.
Fisher. "A foreign student, return
ing home after the valuable ex
perience of a year of study in this
country, is of more potential value
in our plan of national defense
than any big gun or battleship or
tank."
The conference will close Satur
day following a business session
at 9:00 a. m. at the Cornhusker
Hotel, at which there will be re
ports from various committees.

BOULDER, Colo. (ACP). Spe

make easier in later years the
chores of figuring the family
budget and the cost of a tankful
of gasoline for the car are advo
cated by a Colorado professor for
high school students who do not
plan to go to college.
Two separate curricula in
mathematics are the plan of Dr.
Harl R. Douglass, college of educa
tion director for the University of
Colorado and author of several
mathematical texts.

daily life, the curriculum for those
not going to college should be
made practical," the professor
says. "Use of the automobile, for
example, has greatly stimulated
use of mathematics in such prob
lems as calculating time and dis
tance. The person who isn't good
at arithmetic is handicapped in his
vocation, his purchases, and in
other phases of living."
Professor Douglass advocates a
four-j'ear high school program of
arithmetic, algebra and geometry
for the general student, and a spe
cial three-year program of alge
bra, geometry and trigonometry
for those preparing for college.
