SUMMER SALES tFJlIE T -in i '. !..' Li 4 O.-egon in France the seven week session in Tours for 80 American high school teach-, ers is reaching the midway point. The participants, represent ing 22 stales from Alaska to Florida, from California to Maine, and including four from Oregon, are attending the National Defense Educa tion Act Second Level Insti tute for American Secondary School Teachers of French, being held under the auspices of the University of Oregon. The institute is designed to further the teachers' compe tence in thp French language and improve their teaching methods. . Second Year This is the second year that the University has sponsored the overseas institute. Dr. Da vid M. Dougherty, head of the department of foreign lan guages, is director. He is being assisted by Mrs. Jean B. Jones of Chapman school, Portland, who is in Tours, and Dr. Richard H. Desroches, assistant professor of romance languages, who has remained in Eugene to coordinate activities on the Oregon campus. Oregon teachers who are attending Include George A. Matile, West Linn High school; Carole M. Keller, Mil waukie Union High school; Jean H. White, Madison High school, Portland; and Hugh H. Shurtleff, Hedrick Junior High school, Medford. The participants, who have an average of 15 years of ex perience in French teaching, attend classes each morning in French culture and civili zation, linguistics, phonetics, and methods of teaching. The afternoon classes are devoted to laboratory practice, includ ing conversation and writing. Most of the faculty members are French. Held In Lycee Balzac Classes are held In the Ly cee Balzac, a secondary girls' school. To facilitate the practice sessions, a Lingua Trainer has been installed. With this mechanical aid, which is similar to the ones used in the University of Ore gon language laboratories, the student may hear the in- slructor's voice over an ear phone, ask questions, play back his own speech on tape to check his pronunciation, and participate in other ac tivities that make language drill more effective. The teachers must have at tended a first-level institute in thp U.S. before being ac cepted for the overseas pro gram. They are required to speak French at all times. This is made easier by the fact that all participants eat lunch together, sealed at small tables with a French man or woman with each group to lead the conversation. In addition, 60 of the par ticipants are living with French families where they eat breakfast and dinner and take part In the family table conversation. .

Mrs. Jones, the assist ant director, wrote from France. "As these teachers begin another school year, they and tiieir students will realize in many intangible ways the benefits of this summer in France."
