Grad Student Sets Up Traveling High School

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A student in the Graduate School of Education is organizing an "international traveling school," the International School of America, for high school seniors and graduates. The school will begin operation in the fall of 1959.

The student, Karl G. Jaeger, said yesterday that tentative plans for the 1959-60 term call for 27 days in the United States, 98 days in Europe and 95 days in Asia and the Far East.

He stressed that the travel will not be a sight-seeing trip, but will be used rather for educational purposes. Students will take four or five courses and will receive high school credits.

Jaeger hopes that colleges will give his school equal academic rating with conventional, immobile institutions. He has already secured the services of two teachers from Ohio State University, a professor of Botany, and an associate professor of History, and will himself teach Humanities and English.
