Watt to Discuss '48 Trip Program

Foreign travel, reconstruction work abroad, and communal living as a member of a European family are some of the summer opportunities to be described tonight by Donald Watt, director of the Experiment in International Living, Inc. at 7:30 o'clock in the Peabody Room of Phillips Brooks House.

Costing an average of $600 for each student, the 1948 summer program offers the chance to live in French, German-, Spanish-, or English-speaking countries. Students will work in camps for under-privileged children, help farmers with harvests, reconstruct hospitals, and make bicycle trips.

Special Ships Carry Students

Knowledge of the language of each country is the main requisite. Countries included in the plan are France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Mexico, Peru, Spain, England, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.

One hundred and fourteen American students voyaged to Europe on two State Department-authorized ships last summer. "Learning through working" was the keynote of the program.

France was chosen by 90 of last year's experimenters. They served as counsellors in summer camps for undernourished children. During the latter part of the summer, their activities varied from camping in barns to helping farmers.
