Comedy Chosen i
For Production
"Ladies of the Jury" by Fred

Dallas Williams, director of the

ple. All sutdents in summer
school are invited to try out
The comedy "which was de
scribed as "hilariously funny" by
the New Yorw Times, has a cast
of 22 actors, nine women and 13
men.
, The comedy takes place in a
court-room, where a woman is on
trial and if found guilty, will be
sent to death. Mrs. Crane, the
eccentric aristocrat, interrupts the
court proceedings from time to
time and finally casts the one
"not guilty" vote.
Then Mrs. Crane uses her own
unorthodox wars of chancing
peopled minds to save the life
of the innocent detenaant.
'"Ladies of the Jury" was
written in 1929 and played "suc
cessful runs" in New York, ac
cording to Mr. Williams.

First session
Of Conference
The first session of the con
ference on mid-century problems
in elementary education opened
Monday, June 18, with Dr. Frank
E. Henzlik as speaker.
In his address, "Elementary
Education Looks Forward," Dr.
Henzlik stressed the importance
of new . teaching methods in ele
mentary schools. He stated that
for the last half century attention
has been focused on secondary
schools, neglecting the lower
p-rades. Good high schools, he
said, should be based on good
elementary schools.
"Elementary education is grad-
uallv comma into its own," Dr.
Henzlik stated. He pointed out
that the public is beginning to
realize the importance of good
rrmri eu-hnnls but must be edu
cated to the importance of the
child's need in learning more
skills and concepts. Pointing out
that the modern grade school
must teach not only the 3 K s, Dut

implications of aviation, and
enable him to become acquainted
with some of the technical aspects
of flight operations, and to recog
nize the potential which 'aviation
offers to the security and prog
ress of the nation.
Thpso pvtvripnfpc will enable
the participants to enrich their
learning and provide up to date
resources for their use.
Two tvDes of experiences are
