100 College Courses Made Available With
 Opening Of Project
Over 1000 Students Expected to Be Enrolled Within Next Two Weeks Fourteen Classes Assembled To-
 day for First of Series of Lectures List Given

The 1936-37 adult education pro- gram conducted by the WFA recre- Rtional aad education division went into action this morning at the Central Y, with fourteen classes be- Ing held. There will also be class sessions helc this afternoon and evening at Crosby high school and at Silas Bronson library. In all, the new program offers some 100 prac- tical and college courses to Water burians.
 The program, as announced by Edna Harmon, WPh supervisor of education, is expected to enroll 2,000 students befor tho end of the month. Courses will be divided between the collegiate division of the program to the leisure time and recreational groups organized throughout the city in the public schools and the WPA community centers. Sessions will be separated into two terms of 15 weeks each, with the second term terminating in the late spring.
 Locations
 The collegiate centers and the art center are located respectively in the Y. M. c. A. mornings, Crosby high school in the afternoons and eve nings and in the Bronsol library. The heavy enrolment, it was ex- plained, will be handled by teach inC staff of about 40 instructors. Courses have been planned to meet tf needs of three types of students. Morning courses in the Y. M. c. A., approximate standard freshman college courses for those who re- quire university e perience and training. Afternoon and evening groups in the Crosby college center are designed to be of practical aid to business men and women as we'll as matronS and home workers with afternoon or evening time to employ in study. The Bronson Library art center has been devised to cover all phases of cultural and industrial art, including a complete rnarionette theater.
 High Standard
 According to Miss Harmon, new high standard of instruction will limit the number of students in many classes. It IS therefore urged that those w,-o have not yet regis tered at the Y or Crosby, do so be- fore the end of the week so that they may be certain of admission in the more popular courses.
 Subjects for which registration has been particularly heavy include pulslic speaking, interior decoration, psychology, everyday legal problems,
