KU Professor to Talk On Radio Art Class
Art classes by radio, a project begun 12 years ago, will be discussed by Maud Ellsworth, professor of art education at a meeting of the Kansas State Teachers association in Dodge City Thursday afternoon.
Speaking at a sectional meeting on art, Miss Ellsworth will present a tape recording of one of her weekly art classes broadcast over the Jayhawk School of the Air, an educational program sponsored by the University.
Also at the meeting, Miss Ellsworth will speak on "Continuous Work in Art Education" and will exhibit grade school drawings and paintings.
Art classes by radio was begun as an experiment in three counties and is now in its 12th year. At first it was financed from the research budget, but the project was well received, the Ellsworth, and was given a regular session along with other courses, as a part of the Javahawk School of the Air.
Miss Ellsworth begins her radio classes, heard each Monday from 2-30 to 3 p.m., by explaining what the listening grade school students will do in the next half hour.
While the students work, records are played. Between musical selections, Miss Ellsworth comments on her class's performance in technique, and style of painting.
"It's amazing how many listeners we have," said Miss Ellsworth. "The teachers are asked to send in three student drawings or paintings each week, so by their response we can tell that many schools are participating."
Advanced art education students criticize the grade school art work, and then return it to the schools. "This makes the grade school students feel they are a part of a large University class." Miss Ellsworth said.
The art classes over the air are intended primarily to benefit rural schools and other small schools which lack an art supervisor.
Ten radio stations in Kansas carry the art classes and four other courses that are a part of the School of the Air.
The stations are KEFU and KANU of the University, KWHK in Hutchinson, KMAN in Manhattan, KOFO in Ottawa, KNEX in McPherson, KSTW in Emporia, KJRG in Newton, KSOK in Arkansas City, and KGNO in Dodge City.
Well Drillers Meeting Set
Current interest in groundwater supplies in Kansas is expected to lead to a record-breaking attendance at the annual meeting of the Kansas Water Well Drillers association at Emporia, Nov. 6-7.
The program at the meeting was arranged by Dr. J. M. Jewett of the State Geological survey at KU, and members of the ground water division of the Federal and State Geological surveys. It will feature talks on laws and regulations affecting drillers, flood control, safety codes, drilling irrigation wells, and pollution problems.
Well drilling techniques, well completions, and other drillers' problems also will be discussed. The meeting is open to the public.
