Show World Student Exchange There are some 17,000 foreign students going to school on A-TnC.ano A-TnC.ano rcollege campuses and about 2,500 American students and scholars studying in foreign r'es. This latter number would have been larger except for war-caused dificulties which prevented other nations from accepting ac-cepting a larger number of A-merican A-merican students. Dr. Kendrick Marshall, who di-rects di-rects the Interantional Frinra. tional Relati(is of the U. S. Office Of-fice of Education, is anxious to promote a two-way flow of students, stu-dents, which, in his opinion, will do more for world peace and welfare wel-fare than any other single measure. meas-ure. . Dr. Marshall thinks that a reciprocal re-ciprocal program of education wn permit foreign students to translate American modes of thinking in their own country and, at the same time, give A-merican A-merican students an oportunity to learn much from the foreign students. Naturally, the presence pres-ence of American students in other countries will give them a beter understanding of the foreign for-eign country, its peoples and problems. One step in the carrying out of the program of exchange is to promote the visits of students and teachers during the summer months. Two troop ships have been set aside by the Government Govern-ment to transport students and teachers between this country and Europe, but the details have not yet been worked out. It's about time for the people of the United States to decide whether they are going to sup-porot sup-porot the one world idea, which wil cost some money, or whether they prefer the same course that they followed after World War I, which cost another war. Mr. and Mrs. A. Thomas Patterson Patter-son and children, Tommy, Paula, and Lucille of Salt Lake City were guests last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Seely. |
