Extension Agents
Seek to Extend
Working Scope

Extension workers from all over
the state of Washington report a
most interesting and profitable con-
ference, spent at the State College
during this month. The theme of
the conference was "This is Our
World, What Shall We Do With
It?" The guest speakers include
prominent men from many fields
such as w. j. Robinson, Director
of the State Department of Agricul-
ture; Chas. Ernst, State Director of
the Department of Public Welfare;
F. L. Ballard, vice director of extern
sion service in Oregon; D. Curtis
Munford, senior extension econo-
mist, Federal Extension Service;
and others. Many outstanding men
in their fields from the State Col
lege faculty also contributed to the
program. These men contributed in
the fields of education, science in
agriculture, home economics, sociol-
ogy and economics. The speakers
included President E. O. Holland.
Edward G. Johnson, Dean Florence
Harrison, DR.. Hefflebower, DR.. Yod-
er and many others.
In carrying out the theme Of the
conference, those giving talks in
the fields of education, sociology,
and economics gave very concrete
reports Of results and progress up to
the present time, with forecast Of
public progress within the next few
years, particularly as it affects rural
development. Inasmuch as the
country is in the process of change,
it is necessary to adjust to the eco
nomic and social conditions and to
adjust rapidly as the change Of
these fields has been more rapid
than the people of today realize.
From these inspiring talks the
agents feel that they can form q
more constructive program on which
to go forward and serve people in
the rural communities, says Miss
Helen Steiner, assistant extension
agent. We have always felt that we
wish to serve the rural people to
the best advantage, but have not
always felt that we were well enough
acquainted with their problems to
always meet their required needs. A
sympathetic understanding Of the
economic and social needs over the
country as q whole will 60 q long
way toward helping the individual
agents to cooperate with the rural
people in the solving Of their prob
lens. There are now approximately
one hundred agents in the state OF
Washington of which fourteen OF
these agents are extension agents
in home economics, with several
other counties planning to add
home economics agents to their
staffs. The importance Of this
work is especially felt in the need
for improved family living in the
rural communities. The counties In
which this work has been carried on
over a period Of years have felt more
and more the importance OF this
work and in some cases, are adding
assistants.
In addition to the regular confer
ence program, agents took advan-
tage while at the state office to
work out their schedules with the
specialists. There will be q num-
Der of specialists coming to Benton
county both in agriculture and home
economics during the coming spring
months.

has something arresting in the bril-
liancy he brings to his performance
AS yet his tone glitters with some-
what too much Of a metallic character
and he is unable at present either by
pedal variety or through warmth of
sentiment to color it. But his virtuos-
ity is unquestionable and there Is a
refreshing crispness and lightness in
all that he does. His left hand Is
unusually strong and free and he has
a musical feeling for effects.
Outstanding among his numbers was
a group Of Russian compositions by
such seldom programmed composers as
Medtner, Tcherepnine and Balakiren.
In this group was also included the
Prelude in G Sharp Minor by Rach-
maninof. OF the older composers, his
playing Of the Chopin "Polonaise in
A Flat" was remarkable for its springy
lightness. Brahms "Intermezzo in
G Major" Schumann's "Arabesque'
and Chopins "Nocturne in E Major
were given with too much matter-of-
factness to be thoroughly impressive
1t was an ambitious mornings work
for these too highly gifted young ar
lists and they met the test and proved
their metal in splendid fashion. From
today on we will look with them into
the future when they will have pro-
gressed to the finer expression Of their
art for which they are capable. The
good wishes Of the audience was ex-
pressed In applause Of enthusiastic
proportions.

merely a chance endowment but is q
sample of what stuff The gifted ones of
the coming generation are made Of
and how seriously they cultivate their
talents.
Miss Bustabo, now Is years Of age
was first known to the concert world
as child prodigy. Now she is to be
reckoned with as a full-fledged artist,
with three years of European con-
certizing and playing with famous
orchestras to her credit. Mr.. List,
substituting yesterday for Ernest
Smelling, who was prevented by illness
from appearing, made his New York
debut two years ago at the age Of II.
He played the dificult Shostakovich
concerto which he had learned in six
weeks following the winning of solo
appearance with the Philadelphia
Orchestra under Stokowski
In considering the performances Of
both these talented young musicians,
it is necessary to think Of their present
status and the possibilities Of their
future. At yesterdays concert the
flre Of youth struggled with the polish
Of fine instruction and came OF victor,
not, however, to the dspleasure Of
the audience. 1t was youth rejoicing
in its virtuosity, filling the musical
phrases with q glow and vigor never
to be reached by older artists and
sweeping fearlessly along the path of
Interpretation with supreme assurance.
A*k
Both artists have the superior
technical equipment required of great
artists. What they both need is the
passing of time and the acquiring of
experience to give them the necessary
poise and mellowneSs. Miss Bustabo
has a large, resonant tone and a daz-
cling finger agility. to which is added
. remarkably developed sense Of musi-
cal values. No dAnculties seem to
exist for her in any technical passage,
for she has . lightning-swift bow arm
and the fleetest of fingers. This ex-
traordinary facility, however. inclined
her to an exaggeration Of the tempt

cipally in the Kreisler "Praeludium
and Allegro" and the Mozart "Rondo."
In the Vivaldi Sonata in D Major
she displayed lovely grace Of execu-
ton and in the more sustained Chant
de Roxanne" finely spun legato
tone. For the two programmed num-
bers by Dohnany, she substituted the
brilliant Spanish Dance" by Sarasate.
There is no question that Miss Bustapo
Is an artist of outstanding caliber
already fully in command of her art.
It will be interesting to watch this
talent grow into the full bloom Of
maturity for, measuring by what she
has done 80 far, she should contribute
enormously to the beauty of music in
the future Wolfgang Rebner was
q most capable accompanist for Miss
Bustabo.

the academies Of the canon in . fash
ion that indicates his belief in the
religion that lives in mans heart
rather than in his mind. When the
girl Is killed before she has . chance
to convince him of her rightne1
through a miracle planned with st.
Bright, the structure Of his proud,
austere scholarship comes crashing
down. It is dramatic moment that
provides an almost egregiously fitting
climax to Mr.. CAROLS alternately
savage and tender play.
The religious views represented by
the canon and his lovely, ethereal
servant girl are not the only ones
which Shadow and Substance" ex-
amines. Through the various other
characters Of his drama, the play
wright looks with almost snarling
scorn upon large middle group to
whom religion is a rolling Of the eyes,
mouthing of words and q series Of
hollow gestures. He covers the SUBJ
ject very thoroughly from the Carroll
point of view. which, let it be said,
caused no offense in Dublin, where
such matters are taken seriously as
the Abbey Theater's history shows.
The characters Of Shadow and
Substance" who easily may be the
most fascinating people you will meet
this winter, are no easy persons to
portray. Yet, for all the parts ter
rife demands. Sir Cedric brings the
canon splendidly to life as . cold,
proud. lonely man with violent in
tolerance for shams and stupidities,
but withal one who appreciates beauty
and almost dissolves before simplicity.
Even more difficult is the role OF the
mystical servant girl played by Miss
Hayden. 1t could be 50 easily . hys-
terical. uncomfortable thing; its tenu-
Gus beauty ruined by the slightest
false step. It was not, which is one
OF the things you will remember about
Miss Hayden long after you have for
gotten (Which is to quibble) the slips
in her brogue. And Sara Allgood, in
the part of fat, fluttery, cruel thick
skulled spinster was so good the audi
enoe applauded even the way she rolled
her eyes, OF the others, it would be
sin not to mention at least Lloyd
Cough as the irreverent, idealistic
schoolmaster, and Gerald Buckley as
the buffoon nephew Of Miss Allgoods
veteran virgin.
The direction of the play. as we'll

ments, shows that 1t still Is in the
process OF development, but don't let

= very rich play producer.
Shadow and Substance" a. played
by cast headed by Sir Cedric Hard
Wicke, Julie Hayden and Sara Allgood,
deserves handsome fate. although
plays which examine the mystical
areas of religion do not always fare so.
Its hope toward that end is the bright
er for the fact that while its essential
theme is serious, it often becomes
downright hilarious; that in the course
OF building toward a tragic ending
there are frequent and refreshing
pauses for practically wild merriment.
Paul Vincent Carroll. the playwright,
has been what is so handily called
the true Irishman" in finding so
many elements of his provocative SUBJ
ject at which to laugh. Sometimes
1t is fine, high scorn that he uses
to arouse your mirth. At others his
mood and method have about them a
childlike simplicity. A mercurial
writer, Mr.. Collins, and the cast which
keeps up with him deserves as many
rounds of applause as this company
received when the curtain fell on the
third act last night
The conflict element in Collins play
Is found in the clash between the
overpowering, beautiful faith of SIM
pie girl and the cold hardness of re-
llgious scholarship as represented in
the canon in whose home she is en-
ployed as a servant. Religion as q
thing of the heart and the mind is
thus exposed. and a powerfully moving
force 1t is in both instances. That
the possessors Of these different atti-
tudes can have so much understand
ing (but not enough), and so deep an
Anection for each other, gives Shadow
and Substance" so much Of its tragic
beauty.
THE story concerns the girls dreams
and visions of her namesake, st.
Bright They are the substance of
her religion, her direct communion
with the divine nature by which she
would order her simple life. The prel-
ate, to whom the girls emotional re-
action is but the shadow of what is
real to him, tries to convince her that
her other world contact is an evil and
dangerous thing. The legend of st.
Bright (that she disfgured her as
tonishing beauty as a girl in order to
escape the attention of unwonted suit
ors) he holds to be unworthy of her
belief. On her part, with love more
moving than his, because it is more
simple, she offers him a share in the
wisdom and guidance which st. Bright
brings to her.
