the opera. I'd rate any Of Kostelanet
cigaret programs as intelligent and
I'd likewise give the same rating to
most Of the musical programs directed
by Freddie Rich, Johnny Green, Mark
Warnow and Frank Black.
The Radio Theater, on the air from
n. B. C. Sunday afternoons, is show
ing rare discrimination in its selection
of plays, and while the casting wasn't
perfect, Tallulah Bankhead in Let Us
Be Gay" was mighty pleasing last
week end.
The Romberg Phelps program on

anced radio entertainment and worth
hearing, and Roxy is improving those
Columbia programs every week. I'll

That doesn't include all Of the really
good programs on the air-but it'll

THERE'S q grand example Of m
i sophistication in that Lets

premiere December 8. It's q good
program by the way and the dance
music by three different types Of or

Teachers Training Course
at n. Y. Workers School

"A VERY important and urgent
"A task in the expansion work of
the Workers School is to increase
the number of instructors. 1t is be-
coming more and more difficult to
answer the many demands for in
structors in the theory Of Marxism-
Leninism.
The School Committee, therefore,
decided to establish training
course for new instructors. The
course will begin in the fall and
will continue during the entire
school year of 1934-1935. No fee
will be charged for this course and
it will be limited to Is or 30 stu
dents.
The course is open to Party and
League members. Applicants must
be members in good standing for a
minimum of one year; they must
produce evidence of their activities
from units or section bureaus.
The School Committee will pass
on the eligibility of each applicant
after he or she has been interviewed
by the director of the school.
1t is especially desirable that sec
ton committees recommend COM
rades who have shown readiness in
carrying out the tasks assigned to
them and who show abilities and
inclination in the work of agitation
and propaganda. Applicants must
send in their applications in writing
as soon as possible, Each applicant
should attach brief biography Of
himself or herself.

Report on the School
Expansion Conference
at Chicago

THE Chicago Workers School called
1 a conference for the purpose of
expanding the work of the school.
The main report made by Comrade
Shields, dealt with the following:
Analysis of 11a years work Of
the Workers School.
2-The improved conditions of the
School.
3-The struggle conducted against
the Trotzkyites.
1.-The economic and political sit
uation demands mass training.
The relation Of the school to the
mass organizations is not entirely
satisfactory. Mass organizations as
yet do not consider the Chicago
Workers School as their training
school for leadership. The best re-
suits so far attained was with the
TWO, although they we're by no
means satisfactory. The report
dealt with the present economic and
political situation, the increasing
wave of strike struggles, the role of
the A. F. of L. and S. P. and the
need for mass training of revolu-
tionary leaders.
There were proposals of the Ex-
ecutive for School Expansion in the
direction of shops and factories,
launching Of thousand dollar
campaign, and mobilization of all
mass organizations around the
school.
The following decisions we're
made which include amendments to
the original proposals by the Exec
utive to the Conference:
Ito continue and strengthen
the steel schools in Gary and South
Chicago.
"A branch school to be estab-
lished on the North West Side at
1911 w. Chicago Ave, with special
to railroad workers.
3-To establish a South Side
School with special attention to
Negro workers and stockyards
workers.
Central School to be moved to
the Loop or near North Side. Spe-
cial attention to developing more
advanced subjects and teachers
5-To launch an Expansion Fund
Of 1900 which will be conducted in
with the campaign for
the $4,000 fund for the National
Schools.
6-To urge all mass organizations
to adopt the Chicago Workers
School as their training school for
forces and each organization to
elect a comrade responsible for
the conduct Of the school campaign.
