As the native of the region surrounding New York City is probably the most typical of those trants considered American, and as a Swiss represents a blending of the more admirable qualr tres of many Europeans perhaps a comparison of the boys of these two groups would present a rea sonable comparison of the Amerlcan and Euro- pean mannerxsms. As we are already familiar with ourselves I shall deal chiefly with a Swxss boys general char acter Like us he is spirited happy and reason ably intelligent He rs honest and very patriotic, and closely bound to his family However he differs from a New York boy rn this important way the Swiss boy gives an impression of genuine sincerity when you meet him probably brought about by his modest politeness and frankness while an American boy although perfectly sincere inwardly presents an impression of slyness and by his fondness for bemg overbearing and smart ' These qualities are rarely carned to extremes in either case, and there are exceptlons to both but such rs the mann difference, as it appears to me It is hard to know whether the much greater amount of leisure time and the much greater number of amusement facilities of the American AND SWISS boy have anything to do with his seemingly more klddlsh and msmcere attitude As he has more personal liberty he may tend toward self-con lidence which sometimes is expressed by frivol ousness and levxty I have noticed however that the time it takes to become good friends with a Swlss boy is only equal to the tlme rt takes to strike up a casual acquaintance with an Amen can Soon after I moved to a house in Blenne Switzerland two brothers, notwlthstandmg the fact that I was a foreigner marched up to my door and offered to become my friends Such an mcx dent would be practically unheard of at home, where even a compatriot has to surmount many barriers and withstand wrse cracks, well mtend ed or otherwise before bemg recognized as a member of the group In Switzerland your friends will come to you while in America you must go in search of your friends It seems to me that these characteristics of American and Swiss boys are still very apparent lomats missronarles and other travellers unxver sally popular and respected while his arrogance makes the American tourist or other voyager das- lxked If we are to follow through with our good neighbor and family of nations policies, we would do well to emulate the Swxss Dick Hulbert Grade10 THE CLOCK One day last year I took an antique clock down to Theodore Balf, the Jeweler When he first saw it, his eyes lit up and he said ln his foreign accent My that is a beautiful clock After he h cl finished admiring it I spent ten or fifteen minutes trying to explain what was wrong with it and how to spell my name He seemed to know what was wrong with the clock but as usual I ended by wrxtmg our name It was eight months later when he appeared at our door with the clock He told us a long story about it and what a beautiful one it was. Then he hung it in its proper place and left About three or four days later the doorbell rang It was Mr Balf He made a little bow and said I ve come to see the clock He walked over to it and put his ear caressxngly against it Before he left he asked whether we wanted to sell it Naturally our answer was, No Even though it was somewhat unreliable as a timepiece it did fill an empty place on the living room wall Not more than a day or so later Mr Balf ap- peared agam made his little bow and said I ve come to see the clock Agam he gazed at the clock and made his speech but there was no sale He left disappointed, but came agam and agam for many weeks for the same purpose Finally Mr Balf broken hearted came no more to see our clockg which ticked every so often Diane Throckmorton Grade 10 61 . - ,F . . ,, . . . , - 1 .
