The first term will open June 15 and continue through July 17. The second term will run from July 20 through August 21. The new International education seminar/workshops are part of the University's expanding program of international education. During the past year, the University has sent students to South America for ten weeks of study, and has sent faculty experts to the Mediterranean and North African areas as consultants with overseas American schools. The summer short courses in international education— each lasting two weeks—are designed to develop among educators an awareness and understanding of problems and programs In international education. The short courses will acquaint administrators and teachers with opportunities to develop international understanding through public school curricular and exchange programs. The first course—July 6-17 —will be an intensive study of inter cultural relations and their implications in the classrooms. Noted consultants in the areas of curriculum and administration will work with participants. The second course—July 20-31 —will emphasize curriculum development, including methods and approaches for schools, districts, and states which are seeking to become involved in international programs. Federal and state consultants will work with participants. Both international programs will be directed by Dr. Burton Fox, who joined the WCU faculty last January to co-direct its study of overseas schools in North Africa and the Mediterranean area. The WCU Summer Demonstration School, also opening June 15, will include special programs that include supervised study teaching for undergraduates, a full range of secondary school classes, the "Catamount Day Camp for Retarded Children"; a daily kindergarten for children eligible The NOMAD needs your poetry, prose, art, and cover designs.

A complete program will be offered during the summer to provide wide experiences in basic reading instruction, diagnosis, research, leadership, and practicum in both regular and clinical situations. Eleven courses will be offered the first term and eleven the second.
