ADVISERS TO MAP
c. c. c. EDUCATION
Corps Area Aides in Session
to Lay Out Courses for
Variety of Types.

The nine men who control the camp
education Of 100000 khaki-clad youths
Of the Civilian Conservation Corps
will decide this week on an educational
program to meet the needs Of illiterates
as we'll rs college boys from cultures
as widely varied as New York's East
Side and the Kentucky mountains.
As the nine corps area educa-
tional advisers met yesterday in the
new Department Of the Interior
Building, Howard Oxley. director Of
c. c. c. education, explained the
meetings this week are especially sig
nificant because the advisers for the
first time have the facilities-school
buildings. movie projectors. vocational
equipment and such-for a real edu-
cational program.
Finds Schooling Reluctance.
Most difficult problem to face in
mapping out an educational program
for the G. c. G. boys, Mr.. Oxley
pointed out, lies in getting them
interested in going back to school
work. Education is voluntary and
boys who have dropped out of school
because they lost interest or because
OF financial necessity aren't anxious
to return to the classroom.
Concurring with Mr.. Oxley, L. w.
Rogers, educational adviser of the
9th Corps area, which takes in the
Southwest, told OF a boy who refused
to study.
He was round peg in square
hole.' he declared. I'VE couldn't get
him interested in anything, until
nnally the camp education adviser
wormed it out Of him that he wanted
to be q surveyor. Then the adviser
told him he'd have to know something
about trigonometry for survey work
and the boy had reason for studying.
The lad finally became q member of
the surveying crew and is now in a
surveying business Of his own"
Tailored to Civilian Life.
Education in the camps is designed
to give the boys training they can
make use Of when they leave camp,
Mr.. Rogers explained.
Each boy presents a different prob
lem to the educational adviser A
Mexican boy in an Arizona camp
refused to learn to read and write
which puzzled the adviser till he
learned the boy had promised his
mother on her deathbed never tn
learn the RS.
Inc success OF the program so far,
according to the advisers, manifests
itself IN a number Of ways. MANY
boys who were exposed" to only a
few years Of grammar school training
have IN one year OF camp educa ation
been awarded eighth-grade diplomas,
The adviser Of the New Mexico area
said number Of his boys are at
tending the States agriculture and
mechanical college besides doing their
regular eight hours Of work at the
camp every day.
Must Train Instructors, Too.
Not only must the corps area educa-
tlonal advisers work out technioues
OF interesting the boys, but they must
also train the $4,000 instructors in
teaching methods. The educational
ADVISER in each camp. it was explained,
acts as a sort Of principal correlating
the work OF the teachers of every
thing from taxidermy to theology.

RULING ON POLITICAL
BROADCASTS SOUGHT

Promulgate Regulations Under

By the Associated Press.
The WTAR Radio Corp. of Norfolk,
Va. asked the Communications Com
mission yesterday to establish rules
for the use Of broadcasting stations by

The corporation filed a petition
citing that section BIS Of the Com

sion to draw up such rules. The Sec
tlcn does not require q station to allow
political candidates use of its facilities.
but provides that If the privilege is
given to one it must be given equally
TO others under such rules as the

Although the Communication Act
became law on June 10, 1894. no such
rules and regulations have been
promulgated, and the stations to
which the law applies have, therefore.
