SCHOOL STUDIES
SOUTH AMERICA

South America having been in
the lime-light for quite some length
OF time, the seventh grade OF
Wrightsboro school undertook the
task of learning, not the political
status of the continent, but the
history, physical features, occupa-
ton, leading cities and products
of it.
AS the results, a clever, instruc-
tive and attractive South American
product map, engineered by the
seventh grade pupils, is now on
display in the City Library.
If income is measured by out
put, those Wrightsboro school stu
dents will have splendid report
cards, for this map is astonishing
in its uniqueness. Not only it is a
raised" map designating the diff
ferent countries, rivers, mountains,
and islands, but is tagged, in dim
inutive size, with the 40 main
products of South America.
The public is invited to view the
South American product map, and
accompanying enlightening pam
phlets, at the Library during the
next six days.

Although Imphal is ITS miles by

Gen. Auchinleck based his dis

their inferiority in the air, which
