BIG EXTENSION WORK
Six Weeks Summer Schools Are
Being Conducted In 80 of
Her SO Counties

The Summer School at Eastern
opened Tuesday with several
hundred students in attendance,
but with slight decrease, proba-
bly, fifty from last years high

due entirely to the extension
schools that Eastern and other

Eastern has promoted six
weeks Summer Schools, and they
are now in session, or will be
within two weeks in the follow
ing counties: Bath, Bell, Boyd,
Carroll, Carter. Clay, Clinton.

School; Sue Bennett, one in.
Laurel county; Union College in
Knox county; the State Univer-
sity, one in Bourbon; and one in,
Magofin county. In all 81 Of the

The attendance in these schols
ranges from 70 to 100 Students
and the faculties from two to FIVE
teachers. The combined atten-
dance in the counties under the
control of Richmond will approx
