Show U. SUMMER SESSION REFLECTS SPACE AGE Impact of the space age and the Russian challenge in science on American education was reflected reflect-ed Monday in the calendar for the 1958 summer session at the University of Utah. The calendar, released by Dr. G. Homer Durham, academic vice president of the University, is generously dotted with workshops work-shops promoting national preparedness pre-paredness in several directions mathematics, science, languages, medicine and physical fitness. Five separate workshops will be devoted to mathematics and science education. The first, open to the teachers and educators appointed to the state curriculum committee in physical and biological sciences by the State Department of Education, Edu-cation, will run June 9-27. Committee Com-mittee members will meet from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily to study the curriculum in sciences. Workshops on science in the elementary school will be given twice in the summer. Demonstrations Demonstra-tions and experiments for teaching teach-ing children physical sciences will be stressed in both. One will run June 16 to July 3 9 a.m. to noon daily and the second will run July 28 to Aug. 15 at the same hours. Two workshops on mathematics in the secondary school, the other open to experienced teachers and graduate students will study methods and materials in arithmetic. Both will meet 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Summer school registration will be held June 16. In all, 46 workshops, work-shops, institutes and conferences are scheduled for the summer. Others that perhaps reflect the growing concern over the space age challenge include: Language method workshop, June 16-July 3. It will include demonstration of teaching methods meth-ods and practical work in audiovisual audio-visual aids. Physical fitness workshop, on June 16-July 4. Workshop on behavior problems prob-lems of elementary school children, chil-dren, June 16-July 3.
