tidiness you and your child can do
nothing about because there isn't
room for everything, don't let it
disturb you any longer. Spend a few
hours with yardstick and you'll
probably find space for a shelf, cup
board or drawer which will save
you steps and worry.
Anyone who is reasonably handy
with tools can build them, for they
are the simplest things in the world
to contrive. Let the children help
if they are old enough, but make
sturdy shelves, for they will be used
a lot.
Extra Closet Space
If your children share a large
enough room, an extra closet might
make a semi-partition. Open shelves
on either side are of course the
simplest form, and they are handy.
However, a combination of shelves
and cupboards make a wonderful
addition to any room. Two or three
shelves in a closet will completely
revamp it. A rearrangement of
hangers and hooks may be all that
is needed.
Paint an apple box or cover it
with oil cloth or wall paper. With
or without a cover it will make a
nice holder for small toys, blocks,
balls and such adds and ends. Use
an arrangement of similarly treated
shelves or boxes to hold books, dolls,
larger toys and boxed games.
Orange crates with top shelf and
cotton or plastic skirt will make
a pretty dressing table. Make or
buy a sturdy, child-portable step
stool, one child can use to reach
the wash basin, toilet seat, table
level, etc.

The large crowd which filled the

in the fear of high level business
that the employment of Negroes
would hurt production.
According to Mrs. Alice Sims

do with this, but ordinarily the
professors are more than willing
to devote considerable time to
helping the student in any man.

personnel in the government and
it's many bureaus, of business as
sociations, as well as private bus

professional associations. AS a
whole, finer cooperation could not
be expected.
The size of Norway, it's concen-
tration of much of its govern
mental and business activity in
Oslo, and it's homogeneous society
offers a most ideal situation for
many types of social and econmic
Investigations. Here you have a
society, government, and culture
compressed into a manageable
size. In many ways the student
doing individual research will find
advantages here that it would be
impossible to get in America.
Living conditions in Norway are
better now than at any time since
the. end of the war, and although
some things are still in short sup
ply, things as a whole are quite
satisfactory. Norway has an eX-
cellent health insurance plan,
which the student may join for a
very low fee, and medicines are
strictly controlled by the State.
Those drugs that are ordinarily
very expensive are here subsidiz-
ed by the government so they are
available to whom-ever needs
them. Housing is still difficult, al
though considerable building is
being done. Single persons will
not have too much difficulty in
finding rooms and even occasion
ally apartments but married cou-
Piles, or couples with children will
probably have considerable trou-
BILE finding something suitable and
fairly reasonable.

Dear Readers:
We in Norway wish to send you
our best wishes. Our experiences
here have been so profitable and
pleasant that we wanted to tell
our colleagues in other countries
about it, and hoped to receive a
little news in return -. We think
/ the Fullbright Plan is excellent
and we want to populariZe it's
name and fame.
An attempt will be made here
to give you an insight of our eX-
periences and observations in our
adopted country, Norway. It is not
designed to be I'll inclusive Just
chummy che. of a few high
lights.
Our CurricuIar Life
Many of the Fullbright students
here in Norway are working on
special individual projects, but
some are involved in what might
be called a regular university
course. Nearly all of us, however,
have had intimate and constant
contact with the University of Os-
10 and it's faculty. The University
itself is probably little different in
makeup from others in Europe,
but the contrast with American
universities is considerable. Prob
ably the students first real en-
counter with the University is at
the matriculation ceremony an
event of some Importance here and
which marks the students actual
entrance into the University. From
that moment on, the student is
left quite by himself and to the
American this may prove a bit dis
concerning. The attitude of the
University seem to be simply that
here is plant" and here are the
lectures may or may not at
tend them, as you wish. OF course
there are particular standards
which must be met if the student
wishes to qualify for degree, but
planning is squarely upon the
shoulders of the student-no one
else.
Somewhat in contrast to this
rather detached attitude on the
part of the University, is the ex-
