"Promenades an France,” a French text book by Dr. Rene Belle, SC protessor, and Andree Fenelon Haas, of The West-ridge School, has just appeared in a second edition, according to word from the publishers. Henry Holt & Co. Inc.
The book, called "the finest nevv reader for beginners of our times," has been adopted by at least 200 colleees and univei’si-ties in the United States and about 20 in Canada since its first publication in 1951.
Among leading universities using the Belle-Haas book are Harvard. Indiana. Iowa State, j Lehigh. Mills. New York. North- ; western. Purdue. Stanford, Tulane and Yale.
Students at UCLA and Cali- i fornia also use Dr. Belle’s book, which starts with a vocabulary j of between 500 and 850 words and increases in difficulty to a knowledge of 2000 words.

Dr. Belle will add to his teaching duties this spring by con- | ducting a class at Caltech in | place of Dr. Alfred Stern.
Opinion Rules Nation, Says Noted Visitor
The average American citizen is more capable of voting intel-| ligently and forming opinions on j international and domestic issues than ever before in our history, a professor of politics said yes-
I terday.
This is due to the free and rapid exchange of information in this country through the press,
I explained Dr. Harwood L. Childs 1 of Princeton University, who is , a Haynes Foundation visiting professor at SC this spring, runlic Opinion Rules Democracy means rule by public opinion. Dr. Childs said, and opinions are formed to a large extent by propaganda.
"Propaganda only means that ideas are being propagated,” he explained. "The democratic system assumes that there will be propaganda, and only as you have competing propagandas will the citizen be able to arrive at some intelligent view of the truth.
"Although we are subjected to a mixture of fact, information, truth, distortion and misleading statements, the average citizen will be more likely to arrive at the truth under a system of competing propagandas,” he added.
Secrecy Needed "There should be as much open, free disclosure of information by the federal government as possible.” Dr. Childs said, "although there must be some secrecy for the sake of security.”
Congress should say what the people should be told, he said, instead of leaving this up to the bureaucrats.
"The government may not be ; able to live in a goldfish bowl,” j he admitted, "but there should . be a maximum disclosure of information to the people.”

“The starting blocks used for | the track sprints held at the stadium were constructed of marble slabs,” he noted.
He also noticed that there was a straight-away track rather than the oval track currently used.
"In Southern France an ancient amphitheater there is presently used for bull fights,” Dr. Butler mused.
"They rarely kill a bull in the bull fights. In fact, they kill a bull only once a month,” he said.
Encounters Grail
While in Germany, Dr. Butler encountered an SC graduate, E. Ray Scott, who is the director of
stage direction in Nevv York,”
Butler remarked.
