As a teacherjn the schools near Monmoutchshire, England, she taught American history and American "Pontvpool is a town of about 40,000 population, including the suburbs, about 150 miles west off London on" the BnFtoI Miss Tidwell explained. The city is highly industrialized: But among the few crop3 that are raised are potatoes and rye. The country on the whole is too moist for our crops. Miss Tidwell taUght in four schools near Pontvpool. The junior school corresponds to our elementary schooL The modern sec-ondav School resembles our technical high school.

The English children are divided, when they reach the age of eleven, into two groups. The superior children go to one school, the non-superior to another. The modern secondary school is for the non-superior children. This school gives the students only vocational training and few of them ever "attend col-, lege. About 70 per cent of all English students fall in the non-superior group.

Miss. Tidwell ilso taught in two "grammar" schools. The superibr children sre taught in these schools and their preparation for college is the principal factor. The first things that shocked i i Miss on her arrival in England wera the absence of -fpuntaics in the schools. they, like refrigeration, are nonexistent; and the presence of trn air raid i the school building.

"The most outstanding item about England is its compactness. It 15 s-mott like-, a-eountry. fri niiii-; iature," Tidwell said. Since meeting her parents in Statesborough, Tidwell has spent a few days with relatives in Lamesa. She will return to her teaching position in the ObuiT.1 scnoois next week.

They were driving down our way and just a little "below our house they saw a huge chicken snake run across the road. Being unable to kill it with the got out, saw it in a culvert and PeeWee took a shot at it.

I'm a little mixed on -my gender, because when they shot the snake five little snakes were delivered by, shall we say a Caesa rian, so "it" is not the correct pronoun to use in referring to this particular snake. Now the question was worrying PeeWee, Fatty and me, as well as a number of other people, was whether or not snakes were hatched frefm eggs as so many people believe, or born. Mv encyclopedia says thaterpentslay eggs, but that common varieties oF shakes are That was a new word to me and- upon looking it up I found it to mean "Producing yoHng alive, not by hatching from Don't you hate to talk to a person who never thinks anything has been done-right, who is always cranky, evrt when people are trying, to help and please him, who never says "Please" or "Thank you" and still expects everyone to jump in circles to. make life easier for htm? -I still think a little appreciation expressed, a request made in a voice instead of one of complaint will go. a long way and mwfce pleasanter for everyone concerned Can't understand why mature people don't realize it.
