a slim, smartly-dressed girl slip

tray he carried slung across his back.

street. "Did you ever see that any

The Idea is to have young men and
women, mostly of the working classes,
from different countries and especial
ly from those lately at war, to live,
work, n study together a year or
two in this school under selected
teachers guidance. The English tu-
torial system will be in use, students
from different countries living togeth-
err in houses OF about 20, presided
over by a housemaster.
Languages, history, and sociology,
are the required subjects for study
but history is taught in the unique
way of the folk-high schools in order
to give an understanding of forces
feelings, and aims of the people in
the past and present, so as to give
zest to life and desire to Participate
The teaching of sociology is similar in
aim, and both subjects will use dis.
