About two hundred student work
ers or work students" as they call
themselves are at, present in Ameri-
ca. These. are all graduates Of the
universities or technical schools in
their own countries. Some are
studying farming in this country,
some mechanical engineering, min

cheering. All are required to un-
dergo the hazards of the work Sc

by-products of this movement, along
with Sthe opportunity for interpret

tubs are cut from solid rock near a
natural spring of pure water, or fed
by a stream through bamboo pipes.
These stone baths are near the homes

musical comedy Of Americans

background. Unlike the majority

strong story that maintains its
continuity from start to finish.

convince his fiancee that he can
do the same thing for her. is the
theme around which THE Street
