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.

will be reflected in their
teaching and in their lives in
ways that cannot be mea
sured." 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."

Some men of Con
cord in old Massa
chusetts once got
themselves called
"Minute Men" be
cause it took them
just sixty seconds to
come to the defense
of freedom, day or
night.
In the years since,
the Minute Man
has become a sym
bol of our deter
mination to stay
strong and to stay
free. Other symbols
of that determina
tion are U.S. Sav
ings Bonds.
When you buy a
Bond today you do
more than invest
money for your own
future. You also
show your own per
sonal determina
tion to keep Amer
ica strong and free
right now because
the same dollars
you save for tomor
row help the gov
ernment defend
freedom today.
That's why buying
U.S. Savings Bonds
is a way to be a
"Minute. Man" in
1962. And Bonds
work for you and
your country
around the clock.
Why not join the
ranks of America's
modern Minute
Men? All it takes is
$18.75 and a visit to
the Bond window at
the bank.
Keep freedom In your future with
U.S. SAVINGS BONDS
