And speaking of seniors4some of you surely keep your heart affairs to your- self! You could share one little confidence ere we part! Come on girls, Fes' up! I mprembm During my vacation from England to the United States-while in New York- war broke out in Europe. As our boat was not permitted to sail. we decided to remain in the United States and reside in New Orleans. While here, I entered the Millinery class of Rabouin School. Among the many questions asked me by the students, the most outstanding is, What is your impression of this school in comparison with those you attended in England? The educational systems of the two nations are more or less alike. It is true that Americans have greater opportuni- ties for higher learning than the average Englishman, but the latter appreciates his studies more than does the American col- lege youth. This can partially be account- ed for by the older average age of the English student. As is the case in some of the institu- tions here, each school has its own regu- lations and colors, and the students all dress alike. This can be compared to the military corps of American schools. The athletic events participated in are- net ball, rowing, hockey, tennis, and rounders. Net ball might be likened to basketball, and rounders is comparable with base ball. Indoor swimming pools are often provided for those who enjoy swimming the year round. Sports which the Britishers are fond of are-golf, football, hunting, polo, bowl- RAB-IAB ing, cycling, and perhaps the most typical one-cricket. More so than Americans, Englishmen spend a great deal of time in the open air and in the countrysidesf Rowing is a popular diversion in Great Britain. Once a year a boat race is held along the River Thames between the two universities, Oxford and Cambridge. Everyone does his level best to witness this event. The spectators, wearing the colors and badges of these schools, pre- sent a colorful sight. What is sometimes amusing to Ameri- cans is the fact that automobiles are driven on the right-hand side of the road. This is in direct contrast to the custom here. Busses and street cars in London charge what is called a stage fare , the amount of which is based on the distance travelled. Here, in New Orleans, the charge is the same for any distance cov- ered along the line. It is strange how two countries so closely related as the United States and England can be different and yet, at the same time, quite similar in many respects. Even though the same language is spoken, many of the customs and modes of life are not the same. Taking all things in general, I think that all countries individually have their own advantages.
