The warning was given at an
orientation class, meeting in Hurst

British men and women began their
years study in this country.
You'll be shocked when you OBJ
serve circus aspects of the campaign
and you will think you are in an
insane asylum DR.. j. Donald
Kingsley, acting administrator, Fed
eral Security Agency, told the group.
But remember these antics are
designed to exact attention rather
than persuade people
DR.. Kendric N. Marshall, director
Of the Division of Internationa,
Educational Relations for the United
States Office of Education, told the
teachers they would have to buck the
old theory that the British have nc
sense of humor.
DR.. Paul e. Smith,, chairman
Of the Committee on the Inter-
change of Teachers of the United
States Office of Education told the
visitors that Americans have an
