Talent Students Hear Address By German Student Talent, Jan. 21 The assembly program at Talent high school this week, sponsored by the freshman class, featured a talk by Harold Steiler, Southern Ore gon college student irom ixurn bere. Germany. Steiler described differences between schools in Germany and America. He stated that at ten years of age a German child's future ca reer was determined because at this time he is placed in one or two types of schools, either a trade school leading to daytime apprenticeship and evening class es, or a pre-protcssionai nigu school leading to university pro fessional training. In comparing this university trainlne with that in America, Steiler stated that the German priucation stresses the theoretical and American education the practical. riiiestlani Asked Steiler remarked that It was his aim to take back to Germany the things about American eau- cation which could De useiuny integrated in the German system. The Talent students asueu Steiler many questions about life in Germany and in reply he told them about how the first post-war movies were the cheap er American "Westerns" with English sound track; later our military government required in troduction of better films and German sound track. When asked about their autos, he replied, that the German cars are "toy cars" compared to ours and only one person in 60 owns one. A fine network of roads throughout Europe is under con struction, he said, as part of the European recovery program. Manufacturing Recovering Manulacturing is rapidly re covering, and it must earn enough to import foods, as Ger many's agriculture is not suffic ient for her people. Construction of new homes is of a somewhat temporary nature, according to Steiler, as materials for fine, per manent buildings arc not avail able. His own city of Nurnberg, he said, had its older portion completely destroyed by fire in one night of bombing, and much of it is still a mass of rubble. Steiler expects to return to Germany at the end of this school year at Southern Oregon college.

New Army Reserve Set-up Explained, Efficiency Seen The department of the army announced Saturday that new organized reserve corps program will go into effect about April 1 and sixth army headquarters of ficials stated that more efficient training at less cost will result in the eight western states of sixth army's area.
