The Teachers Honorary Society,

handle on November 8 at 2:00 with
23 members and two guests in at-
tendance from Pampa, White Deer

Vera Copeland, Bette Dill and Thel-
ma Holman.
The speaker for the evening was
Sister M. Valentina of the Catholic
Children’s Home in Panhandle. Her
subject was “A Look in Austria”
or “Einen Blick Auf Osterreich.”
‘‘There is something to be learn-

and then a branching off into eith-

colleges and universities. Nine
years of schooling is required in
Austria before going into either lib-
eral arts or academic schooling.
TV programs are weekly in the
schools of Austria. There is no
driver education in the schools of
Austria. A driver’s license cannot
be obtained until a young person is

taught twice weekly. Gym is three
times each week. The study of the
alphabet precedes reading.
Field trips in science similar to
two weeks summer camp in the
United States are conducted under
the supervision of two teachers at
a time. This is the first hand study
of nature, plant and animal life.
Preceding the speech, Exie Van-
tine and Mildred Sullivan of Pam-
