program was started in 1022, and
currently xnere are mure aauus
than children going to school in
Shorewood, Dr. Logsdon said.
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. Other numbers on the
program include the first move
ment of the favorite Schuberts
Unfinished Symphony, a cleverly
arranged Childhood Fantasy by
Lillys, and several popular nunv
bers and marches.
Personnel of the band includes
presented by tne city under the
auspices of the Bureau ot Parks
and Recreation. They begin at
8 p.m. in city park blocks across
the street from the jail and courthouse.
