European Study, Trips Described by Teacher

Two or three evenings a
week a student from Frank
furt university who lives sev
eral blocks from our house
comes over and we work on
conversational German (he is
on vacation from school until
the new term begins the first
of May). We are progressing
slowly, but thoroughly enjoy
the two or three hour sessions
and, in the process, are learn
ing much about the local
customs and traditions. The
son of our landlord is also a
third year law student at
Frankfurt university and has
as his avocation the study of
nistory.
He is particularly well
versed in the history of Cen
tral Europe and knows a great
deal about our own village.
I have spent a number of
evenings with him going over
background Information on
Gross Gerau and am sched

of its present political and
socio-economic struct ure.
Since World War II the vil
lage has grown by leaps and
bounds and is now about the
size of the city in which I
worked while with the Kel
logg project at the University
of Oregon, although It still
preserves the atmosphere of
a village and is regarded as
such by people from the sur
rounding cities of Darmstadt,
Frankfurt, Mainz, and Wies
baden. This past weekend I had
an interesting trip to Switzer
land. I am a member of the
Board of Goveriesrs of the
Leysln American School,

meters away) and joined Bill
and Peter in the Hauplbahn
hof there. We had reserva
tions for a compartment on
the Italian Express and were
shortly on our way south. The
engine was electric powered
. . . quite fast and smooth.
Our compartment was in the
one car Schlafwagen (sleeper)
going to that part of Switzer
land. We gave them our tick
ets, passports, and completed
customs declarations to the
porter who was assigned to
the Schlafwagen and would
stay with it throughout its
ourney. Our train proceeded
to Basel on the German-Swiss
border.
There our Schlafwagen was
dropped off on a siding while
the rest of the train continued
its trip to Italy. Although I
slept through the whole thing,
Peter the next morning told
us that we were on the siding
lor about two hours and then
were picked up by a train
heading for southern France.
When we awakened we were
Just passing by Bern. We
walked through the train to
the Spciswagen (diner), noting
that the people arming us
were mostly talking French
whereas the night before we
had been exposed to Italian
and German conversations.

The exhibit resulted from
a month-long tour which Mr.
Seldis made last summer
throughout the far-western
and Nortlfwest states. At-the
end of the tour, the widely

found "young painters of

by international norms, who
