The program is guided by the following factors: 1) Selection ot teachers on the basis of functional relationship to the field of educa tion being dealt with. 2) Assump. tion that all persons should be uniformly informed of the oppor tunities of the adult education program. Bulletins are sent to every adult in town, and appeal to aaes 17 to vz. 3) Tne need oi tne community is the guiding force in establishing courses. Classes are formed in any subject when enough interest is indicated. 4) Adult recreation and education Iroups are encouraged, and facili ties and sponsorship are made im mediately available. S) The cost Is shared by the locality, the partici-1 pants, and the state and federal government Expense of City Expeases for the program are borne mostly by the city, which provides for SO per cent through taxation, the educator explained. About 25 per cent is provided through state fees and some fed eral aid, and the participants pay the rest at small cost. The pro gram, Dr. Logsdon believes, has paid great dividends to the city. Some of the courses taught un der the program Include courses for sharpening ingenuity in Jobs or professions, including bookkeep ing, accounting, math, and lan guages. There is a class entitled "Teen-Age Parent," taught by a school psychologist. There are classes In drama, music, choral singing, fencing, golf, badminton, a chef's course In foreign cooking, outdoor cooking, bridge, and many other subjects. A Sunday afternoon lecture course In one of the schools brings good speakers to the town at a cost of less than 28 cents per per son, and a Saturday nignt lecture series has also been started. The adult education program sponsors excellent concerts, bringing well known artists to the community. Significance There Is significance in tuch a program for those in the business ot public schools, Dr. Logsdon be lieves. He admitted to some head aches regarding upkeep and re pairs on the schools, which are in use constantly all year around, but pointed out that this is neutralized by his feeling that education is a worthwhile thing in the commu nity, and that people there are be coming more and more enthusias tic about education. "The community is more criti cal of education now," the speaker pointed out. "Parents recognise the needs of their children, and there is more stimulation for staff members. Education is not some thing that takes place In a vacuum to these people It has real meaning." The regular Thursdsay night concert of the Eugene Municipal Band will be conducted this week by Byron Miller, director of in. strumental music in Eugene puh lie schools and head of the Eugene Junior Symphony Orchestra. Miller has chosen a varied pro gram for this week's concert, featuring trumpet trios by Ervin Lesser, Jim Arment, and Bill Gardner.
