INTRODUCING-
(By Ruth Canary)
Perhaps in your journey across town either to or from school you have passed the bi? Grand avenue school at j the comer of Eighth and Grand, and have noticed a large sign announcing something about a Part-Time School. However, being a university student, doubtless you weren’t much interested in what it was all about. Yet it is

that very Part-Time School, with an attendance of 4,667 students, that is exerting an educational influence in this community wider, probably, than any one or all of the Los Angeles day schools. It is here that “junior workers” from the ages of 16 to 18 are required by California law to spend four hours a week in some sort of specialized training.
The aim of the Part-Time School is not, however, merely to sponsor vocational instruction, but is primarily to encourage in the city’* vast army of jeinior workers the fundamentals of character building a sense of civic responsibilities and job-loyalty. It has been time and again shown that the real influence of the war-time instruction comes not alone through any certain course of study, but, rather, through the contact of the student w’ith fine, upright character in the person of the part-time instructor. So it has been “personalities” behind this movement that have made the Part-Time School one of the biggest and most influential fields of activity in the public school system of Los Angeles.
Not the least of these “personalities” is Mr. Vierling Kersey, who, as director of part-time education since its origin in this city three years ago, has done a great work in organizing and supervising in detail every department of the school.
Mr. Kersey is sparing a little time from his many activities in this connection to conduct a class in the commerce department of the University during the Summer Session. It may seem that we have been attempting to introduce Mr. Kersey in terms of his work, and we are very sorry if vve have given the impression that that is the most interesting thing about him, for it isn’t at all. Mr. Kersey is a remarkable personality in himeslf— keen, alert, essentially optimistic, and an inspiration to talk to. He is a real business man, too, and a great advocate of service in business.
He says: “The big business men of today have adopted this motto: ‘He who serves best, profits most.’ And it is a fact. All our big stores in towm feature ‘personal service,’ and by creating an atmosphere of courteous attention to ever customer they are able to build up and maintain a large clientele of followers.
“It is such principles of business that we try to impress upon our students in the Part-Time School, together with more personal influences. So many of the young people with w’hom -we come in contact have forgotten that they have any other self but their 'working selves.’ They think only in terms of dollars and cents. They forget that they have social and civic responsibilities, so we try to make them realize that after all they are ‘somebody’ by dealing with them in a highly personal way and by using w'ith them a method of treating the individual as a part of a group he belongs to, but has gotten aw^ay from.
“As many of our students come to us on their employer’s time, we come in contact all the while with the big business men of the city, and I am proud to say that on the whole the Los Angeles employers have rallied to our cause and have given us wronder ful support.”
Mr. Kersey is a graduate of U. S. C. and informed us that all of the forty-two members of the Part-Time School faculty are also students of the University of Southern California.

Of all the memories of happy times to be associated with this Summer Session, perhaps none will be more outstanding than the memory the summer students will carry away with them of the informal social evening held in the president’s suite last Wednesday evening. The event planned and arranged by the Music Department under the direction of Mrs. Emma M. Bartlett, was attended by more than five hundred summer students, in addition to a arge group of visiting celebrities.
Dean and Mrs. L. B. Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. Vandegrift, H. J. Stonier, Mrs. Emma M. Bartlett, and the faculty of the Music Department, together with the professors and their wives who presided at the refreshment tables, acted as hosts and hostesses for the evening. In the receiving line were Dean and Mrs. Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. Yea tm an-Griffith, Mrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond, Dr. and Mrs. J. J. Carter, Emil Oberhoffer, Mrs. Carrie Emerich, Mr. Kerekjarto, and Mr. and Mrs. Horatio Cogswell, who represented the U. S. C. College of Music.
After a short time devoted to getting acquainted a musical program was presented, including a group of numbers by the Summer Session orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Maddy. The Jamison quartet composed of the Misses Jean Colwell, Hazel Anderson Bryshon, Edna Voorhees and Daisy Prideaux, with Mrs. Jamison as accompanist, sang “Over the Hills” (Carrie Jacobs Bond), “Kerry Da wee” (old Irish song) and “Whistle” (old Scotch). Leslie Brigham’s solo “The Pilgrim’s Song,” wras so heartily encored that he was forced to respond with two additional selections, “Round-Up Lullaby” (Gertrude Ross), and “Trade Winds” (Kelterer). Following this the Jamison quartet favored again with “Invocation to Life” (Gilbert Sposs), “Sweet and Low” (Rogers), and “Mammy’s Lullaby” (by Mrs. Jamison).
The real surprise treat of the evening came when Mrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond played and sang “The Hand of You,” delighting her audience not only with her talent but also with her gracious personality.
Ice cream and assorted cakes were the refreshments served.

NOTED PIANIST
Mrs. Carrie Emerich, a talented musician of Chicago, was heard by a large group of Summer Session students of the University of California Music Department, in »an informal piano recital at Bovard Auditorium last Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Emerich supplemented her concert with an instructive talk on “The Development of the Art of Music,” and chose piano numbers to illustrate the different points brought out in her discussion. Included in the group of selections played by Mrs. Emerich were the following: “Sarabande” (Rameau-McDowell), “Pastoral” (Scarlatti), “Tocatta and Fugue” (Bach-Tausig), “Impromptu” (Chopin), “Etude” (Liszt), “Novellette” (Schuman), several numbers by Mac Dowell and Cha-minade, and “Juba Dance” by Dent.
Mrs. Emerich says that she aims always to bring out the beauty of the composition she is playing rather than to exploit her own talent as a pianist; however, it can not be denied that Mrs. Emerich adds a great deal of the charm of her own striking personality to her solo numbers, making them more unusually appealing and enjoyable.
