Mrs. Elsa Vigelamd Nelson
Instructed Norway Royalty
By Ruth Dean

Imagine the surprise Of Mrs. Elsa
vigeland Nelson when In answer to
an advertisement in an Oslo news
paper she found herself tutor to the
three children of Crown Prince
Olav and Grown Princess Martha
Of Norway.
Now in this country for q short
stay-to study and learn how the
American people live"-Mrs. Nelson
described her experience In q re-
cent interview.
"A motherly type of woman, quiet
and reserved, she pointed out that
besides picking a tutor for their
children in this manner, the royal
family was democratic in many
other ways. She explained that
her little class also included three
other children chosen from the pub
lie schools of Oslo.
Her duties took her back and
forth every day to the royal estate,
Skangum, IA miles outside of Oslo,
which she described as "a real home,
cosy and unpretentious.
Mrs. Nelson's tutoring position
ended when the royal family fed to
the United States following the
Nazi occupation. After their return
to Norway, she explained, Prince
Harald, now 10 years old. was placed
In q public school in keeping with
the royal family's desire to continue

Princess Astrid and Princess Ragn-
hid, are now attending a private
girls school. she added.
The Norwegian teacher, who ar.
rived here in November, also re-
viewed the present state of affairs
in her country. ''We can now get
what we really need in food and
clothing" she said. "but the housing
situation Is still very bad" Nor
wegian families must still share
every available room they have with
others. Often there are as many as
four families living in the same
house, she pointed out.
Mrs. Nelson who is now making
her home at the YWCA, has been
studying child psychology since the
end of the war and recently was
admitted to the Wilson Teachers
College Orientation Center for
Foreign Students.
She expressed a wish to live in an
American home before returning to
Norway. 81 feel I would get to know
your way of life so much better"
she declared.
Mrs. Nelson spoke modestly Of
her hobby when asked If she had
any interests outside of her work.
IT like to paint and to model in
clay" she said, but I have a lot to
live up to-" Her husband is an
architect and her late father, Adolph
Gustav Vigeland, was one of Nor
ways noted sculptors.
