GIRL FROM KALAMAZOO
TEACHING AT ABERDEEN Miss Iva Brockway, school teacher from Kalamazoo, has arrived to teach 500 Aberdeen children the “three Rs.” She is one of the first party of 24 teachers from all parts of America who are exchanging schools with British masters and mistresses. Forty more—from New York, .Middle West, and the Southern States—are on their way. In her pleasant, broad Middle West drawl, Miss Brockway said : “I’m going to teach the Scottish kiddies English—and am I excited about it!” From the “Wild West,” Miss Lena Skelton, of Hutchinson, Kansas, goes to teach at Stanmore Secondary School, Winchester. Mrs Frances Ford has had 14 years’ experience in New York. She takes over a class at Creek-road Secondary School, Deptford, south east London. Miss Brockway, Miss Skelton and Mrs Ford went on a whirlwind tour of London. They were officially received at Dartmouth House, headquarters of the English Speaking Union, which organised the exchange.
