Problems of unemployed youths in C. C. C. camps and other governmental agencies will be discussed in a ten-day conference at the Tercentenary Session of the Summer School, to be held from July 6 to August 15.

In addition to federal directors, several professional and lay leaders will be present to help formulate definite educational policies for the training of jobless young men.

Second on the list of eight special conferences is one dealing with new viewpoints in the social sciences, especially with the status of labor organizations, developments in municipal government, and problems relating to the causes of war.

Two general parleys on educational problems will consider such subjects as "Shall education at public expense be extended?" and "Shall equality of opportunity in American education be limited?"

Among the leaders slated to be present for a conference on principles, problems, and trends in vocational education are Dr. J. C. Wright, assistant U. S. commissioner for vocational education; Robert O. Small, director of vocational education in Massachusetts; and Dr. William J. Bogan, superintendent of Chicago public schools.

Two meetings will be led by Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of the Observatory.

The other colloquium will concern hollow squares, consisting of informal discussions of various observational and theoretical investigations.

The final conference on the schedule will concern the teaching of dentistry.
