Ballet Lessons
GiUe The Pupil
Healthy Exercise

A brilliant ballet season is pre-
dicted by Princess Nina Carrac-
ciolo with the appearance in New
York and other big cities of Sad
Ter Wells Ballet, the Monte Carlo
Company, the Marquis de Cuevas
and the French Partisan Ballet.
Princess Nina, a former baller-
ina, and "old timer" and teacher
for many decades, stresses that
this graceful art not only coordi-
mates muscles, but gives health and
endurance, and resistance to any
prevailing sickness.
Even eyesight improves for the
circulation is speeded up and blood
runs freely through the system.
Princess Nina does not, believe
that elaborate costumes are neces-
sary for young ballet students -
for even famous artists dance in
colorful, but plain attire, except
for great length Sadler Wells Bal
let or continental companies.
She says; THE movements are
important. They make the dance,
not the. gowns and materials"
Her little girls are assembled to
create ballet scenes - not num-
bers, any more with such won
derful talent as Darlene Jurziniski,
Yvonne Moore, Rosalind Grooms,
Christina Dopp and several other
young ladies as soloiSts.
The scene they are preparing
now, with beginners as corps de
ballet, is dance of the Hours"
from the opera Gioconda.
Little girls will be minutes and
seconds. Their costumes - just
plain leotards with transparent
scarfs.
Princess Nina is putting finish
ing touches to her ballet book and
biography which deals with all the
famous personalities of the last fif-
ty years with whom she has work
ed and appeared on the stage.

College Student
Finds Schools In

yersity students--and only 10 per
cent are able to 60 from high
school to college-don't have to
attend class if they don't want to.
But the final exam is required,
just the same.
That's one of the interesting
facts / discovered from talking
to two young Germans who were
guiding conducted tour in Bonn,
similar to the one / was taking.
became interested in the
German school system when /
visited the office of the U. S.
High Commissioner and found
some interesting data which made
me eager to talk to students them
selves. &
The two German guides were
about 20 years old and had just
been graduated from ''hochere
schulz" or secondary Sschoek
Since American students usually
graduate at an earlier age, asked
them how their system worked.
Children start school at 6. After
the first part flour years. of the
elementary or "Grundschule," rs
to 80 per cent 60 on to
"volksschule'' or higher. elemen-
tary school. Here, many Of the
children must pick a trade. Others
go on to the secondary schools, or
what we call high school.
Who will take advanced school
ing is decided in the fourth or
fifth grades. My friends explain
ed to me that it's based on what
is called a maturity examination.
Even if this is passed, faculty
members and parents must APP
prove. Only about 20 per cent in
the elementary schools 60 on to
the secondary education.
At the end of the secondary,
the student is ready to take the
entrance exams of the university.
College classes are largely
lectures and as students advance
in their work, they attend SEM
mars for specialized work.
At the end of eight semesters
the students are awarded doctor
of philosophy degree. It is gen
orally accepted, however, that
this is equivalent to our masters
degree.
When I asked if the two stu
dents had any criticism of their
system, they said they thought
children must make up their minds
too early about what course they
would follow. They felt if they
could 60 on into high school with
out having had to decide whether
to enter apprentice training or
secondary school, it would be more
satisfactory. a..
They also commented that they
approved Of our co-educati0nal
system. Here, it seems, it is allow
ed in few secondary schools from
necessity. Elementary schools,
however, are co-educational.
