age others to serve where you
are: join the P.T.A."
Serving the welfare of Amer
lean children, wherever they are
growing up, is the primary OBJ
ject of the National Congress.
II has brought the P.T.A. into
many areas of activity during
its 63-year history. Since forma-
ton of the European branch in
1858, these activities have taken
on new flavor:
"A European program of
scholarships, similar to those
provided by many state con-
crosses in the United States,
this year awarded $500 against
tuition to American colleges for
seven students; they were grad
yates of American overseas
schools in Monsieur, Morocco;
Stuttgart, Berlin, Bitburg, and
Heidelberg, Germany; and VII
cenza, Italy.
Concerned, like other
P.T.A.'s. with the interests of
mentally and physically handi-
capped children, the European
Congress has initiated pro-
gram OF special class instruc-
ton for these youngsters, pro-
viding the funds for additional
teacher assistants, helpers, and
materials to be used in some 20
schools.
Foreign language educa-
ton, a natural interest for chill
dren whose parents are assigned
overseas, has been a major in
terest of P.T.A.'s in the Euro
pean Congress. In Air Force
schools, extending from Oslo to
Libya and from the British Isles
to Saudi Arabia, children in
grades 8 through 8 are taking
classes in foreign language this
year.
Adult education programs Of
the P.T.A., which in the us.

discussion groups, may become
adult self-education in overseas
areas, where American military,
government or civilian members
of P.T.A.'s take advantage Of
opportunities for learning the
language of the country and for
studying its cultural assets.
AS these P.T.A. members, both
teachers and parents, return
from overseas assignments, they
bring broader understanding OF
other countries to their state
side colleagues.
'This is one great contribu-
ton our European members can
make" says Mrs. James c.
