Small Percentage Affected By Defense at University

Conscription and opportunities for work in defense industries will prevent only a very small percentage of students from registering at the University of Miami on September 16, 17 and 19, Harry H. Provin, registrar, declared today. Provin added that advance enrollment has already been completed by students from thirty-two states, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Virgin Islands, Canada and Newfoundland. As proof of his belief that the draft will not seriously affect enrollment for 1941-42, Provin emphasized that most of the boys studying at the university are less than twenty-one years old, and hence not subject to military service. As for those who are twenty-one or over, Provin recalled a statement regarding the draft status of college students by Brigadier-General Collins, state director of selective service, published earlier this week. "It is the policy of the selective service system to be as lenient as possible within the law in cases of young men who are earnestly pursuing educational courses," Collins said. "Where such men have entered in good faith upon an educational course, we will not endeavor to interrupt their studies during a quarter or semester even if they are not seeking to qualify for an occupation that is exceptionally important to national defense." Special Consideration Conscripted students, Provin continued, receive special consideration from University of Miami administrative authorities and faculty members in expediting their withdrawals from school. Following a policy observed by the university since October, 1940, students whose college careers are interrupted to serve in the armed forces may either take a temporary grade of "G" in their courses, or they may have their tuition fees refunded on a pro rata basis. After their period of service is completed, those who elect the first plan re-enter classes at the point where they left. Those who receive pro rata refunds enter classes anew, from the beginning of the semester following military service. Ordinarily, students who withdraw from the university after the ninth week of the term cannot obtain refunds. But, pro rata tuition refunds will continue to be made to conscripts, regardless of just when in the semester they must leave. Not many University of Miami students are abandoning their studies in order to enter industry, the university registrar said. Most of them, he finds, say that although good jobs are available for beginning workers, they will lose out in the long run by leaving the classroom now when their educations are incomplete. In the opinion of many educators, Provin concluded, a student can best serve national defense by mastering a specialty while in college and then entering industry. Potential chemists, engineers, physicists, mathematicians, biologists and other leaders who quit college now are only limiting their capacities.

Miss Todd Opens School Monday

Miss Louise Todd, director of the Todd School at 47 Alhambra Circle, will reopen her school Monday the fifteenth. Miss Todd spent part of the summer in New York and visited many private schools in the interest of her own establishment. The Todd School, situated in one of the prettiest parts of downtown Coral Gables, now occupies its own entire building, a new Georgian Colonial structure not quite two years old. Boarding as well as day pupils will be accommodated, the former a new departure for this school.

Riviera Pre-School Opens Oct. 1

One of the newest of the private schools to open October first will be the Riviera Pre-School at 4307 Segovia Street. Since its inception, the Riviera pre-school has had the most vigorous scrutiny of its founder, Claire Ulrich Flanagan, and many many hours of painstaking care by her, has gone into the building of this school which will be housed in Mrs. Flanagan's spacious home. The aim of the school is to reveal creative work, through paints and nature study; to stimulate an appreciation for the English and French languages by means of songs and dances and lay the foundation for an understanding and love of music in developing a sense of rhythm and perception of tonal qualities. Toward this end Mrs. Flanagan is well qualified to lead. Her early education was obtained in Madame Mater Misericordea Academy, Merion, Pa. Here her foundation in music was laid for the more advanced work she was to do later. Courses at the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Columbia University and a six weeks' course at the Sorbonne, Paris, France, rounded out her academic years. Mrs. Flanagan has traveled extensively both in this country and abroad. During her years of residence in New York State she established boy and girl scout troops in St. Vito's parish church at Mamaroneck, L. I., living in close by Larchmont, N. Y., at the time. Also under the Big Sister Home she assisted in the placement of children and re-habilitation of homes through the famous Judge Levy's court in New York City. She studied music under Robert Abbott and the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. Her voice lessons came under the tutelage of the late Madame Delia Benni, Metropolitan star and the late great Madame Sembrich. Mrs. Flanagan attended the Elwood C. Carpenter Dancing Academy in Philadelphia and for a time conducted her own school of dancing at Broad and Walnut Streets in Philadelphia. In the fall of 1934 Mrs. Flanagan sold out her interests in Larchmont, N. Y., came to Coral Gables, and at that time purchased the rambling Spanish type home on Segovia Street at Avenue San Lorenzo for her home. Mrs. Flanagan has one daughter, Claire Frances, a student at the Merrick Demonstration School, who has been her inspiration and model. A staff of competent teachers and helpers will be established at the school.

Mrs. Shaver Will Reopen Monday

The Playhouse School, situated at 324 Avenue Aragon, will reopen Monday under the direction of Mrs. Esther Shaver. The Playhouse, country day school, was established in 1927, thereby making it the oldest kindergarten in point of years in Coral Gables. It has enjoyed a healthy, steady growth and now has an enrollment of from sixty to seventy. This year Mrs. Shaver has added a primary department under the capable supervision of Mrs. R. O. Burke, who holds full state certificate. Also the "tots" or two-year-old group, instituted last year with great success, will be continued. This group of babies have their own separate playground within the playgrounds of the school, all fully fenced in. Mrs. Shaver also successfully accommodates a limited number of boarding students from the elementary grades through high school age.

School to College Clothes Change No Great Problem, Says Dean

"The typical college girl of 1041 will find that the clothes transition problem from high school is not as great as she might have thought it would be," thus Associate Dean Etter Turner of Stetson University, instructs her group of official advisers of freshmen co-eds on the what - to - bring - to - college question. It is no secret, says the dean, that the silk shortage will probably bring an added need this year for plenty of matching socks to be worn with saddle oxfords. Light chambrays and broomstick skirts with blouses will be worn until fall comes to Florida and co-eds slip into the traditional sweaters and skirts. For week ends and dating, the advisers agree that suits come in handy, with perhaps a and light wool or silk dresses light coat for real winter. Fashion magazines indicate that skirts and jackets will tend to match this year, but college girls will still have fun matching contrasting colors, the Stetson counselor predicted. Every co-ed wants one "basic" dress-up suit for "Sunday wear" and occasional afternoon teas, and the advisers advocate at least one formal evening dress for receptions and big parties, and one informal long dress for afternoon and informal affairs. Picnics, hiking or beach wear call for tailored slacks of playsuits accompanied by moccasins or bright beach shoes, in the Dean's opinion. With a final word of warning for the feminine frosh, Miss Turner says, "I would urge any girl who is selecting her wardrobe for college to bear in mind always, above everything else, that she can never be attractive if people see her clothes before they see her."

Ken-Castle School Opens October First

Miss Mildred Kennedy, director of the Ken-Castle School, rushed right into coaching and tutoring many of her regular students on her arrival Friday from Wilmington Isle, Savannah, Ga. Ken-Castle School will reopen as usual on the first of October. Miss Kennedy, for the first time, successfully conducted a summer season camp and school at her summer home, Wilmington Isle. This will be a regular feature in the future. The group of children returned with her aboard boat Friday, plus the maids and the big collie dog. Miss Kennedy did quite a lot of Red Cross work while in Savannah this summer, joining the first aid and motor mechanics classes, and especially enjoyed the "map" reading class. The faculty of the school will be augmented this year by the addition of Mrs. Kathryn Frye, former grade teacher at the Coral Gables Elementary School.

A New Kind of PRE - SCHOOL

"WHERE THE SMALL CHILD LEARNS TO LOVE SCHOOL" Accomplishing the transition from play days to school days for children from three to six years of age is sometimes a very difficult problem. THE RIVIERA PRE-SCHOOL, by employing modern methods, tested and proven by world leaders in education and child psychology, not only accomplishes this end but creates in the child an eagerness to attend school. Here amid delightful surroundings, work becomes play and the children joyfully assimilate a thorough cultural foundation in the arts, music, French and the development of a broad vocabulary. Parents, too, are afforded an opportunity to take part in their children's introduction to education, thereby engendering a deep understanding and laying a sound basis for the mutual enjoyment of the years ahead.
