IIY F.U ITLTY day-to-day activities of tin University «f Miami School of Music arc sometimes overlooked in the maze of public performances by famous guest artists, concerts by the symphony orchestra, and Monday evening recitals by students. Hut behind these more or less spectacular events, the workaday routine of finger exercises, vocalizing, and sight-singing goes on hour after hour in the practice rooms of the Music W orkshop. A change of prime importance came this year when Miss Her!ha Foster, who has been dean since the school was organized, resigned to devote her time to establishing in Miami a national home forage d musicians. Joseph Tarpley. teacher of piano ami himself a graduate of the I niversitv. has become secretary of the division, handling administrative details. Mr. Tarpley doubles as director of the Keubek Twenty-seventh Avenue Center, a downtown branch of the School of Music. Miss Foster remains with the faculty as dean emeritus. Although the war has borrowed many male students, the faculty has been almost untouched. The only teacher in service is John Bitter, conductor of the orchestra, serving in London as an Army captain. The following staff members have continued to teach throughout the war: Dr. Modeste Alloo. acting conductor of the symphony orchestra, formerly with the Boston spmphony orchestra; Mrs. Hannah Spiro Asher, student of Leopold Codowsky and one-time teacher in the conservatory in Breslau, Germany; Joel Belov, formerly first violinist with the Philadelphia orchestra, teacher at Curtis and Kastman. and author of standard texts in violin technique; Mrs. Frances Hovcy Bergh, author of a four-volume work on music appreciation; Edward Clarke, widely known lecturer on music and literature; Mine.

Education DEM O .VST It AT I O.'V SCIMMH. GIVES PRACTICAL TEA«IIKI -TUAI.M. G The optimism of various departments of the University is sliared by the School of Education, which looks forward to its part in the post-war expansion program. Eventually the School of Education will have its own building on the new campus, permitting increased work with Dade County teachers-in-service and growth, too. of a testing program that is already well on its way to substantial accomplishment. As most students know, the University is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and holds memberships in the Association of American Colleges, the Association of Urban Universities, and the Florida Association of Colleges and Universities. This wide recognition is reflected in the approval by the Florida Department of Education of the teacher-training work of the School of Education. The fine work of the Merrick Demonstration School, operated jointly by the University and the Dade County Hoard of Education, is shown by the fact that there are always more applicants for admission than the school can accommodate. In the spring of 1945, for example, the parents of a two-year-old child found that ninety children had already been enrolled for the first grade entering in 1948, although only thirty-five can he taken. About eighty students are enrolled as School of Education undergraduates, forty as part-time students, and another eighty as candidates for master's degrees. University economists McMaster and the Dade County Post-War Planning Commission see evidences of strong gains in South Florida population in the next twenty years. It is believed that Miami's population will go from the present 170.000 to about a quarter of a million by 1965. The work of the School of Education in this growth is, of course, clear.
