Exchange Student
From Germany
Addresses Rotary
Mount Joy Rotarians Tuesday
noon at their weekly luncheon
meeting heard a talk by Miss
Renate Platsoeder, an exchange
student from Germany, who this
year is a senior at Donegal high
school.
Miss Flatsoeder, who is living
with Mr. and Mrs. John Groff,
Marietta, was introduced by
Miss Doris Groff.
Speaking on the subject, “Ed-
ucation in Germany, Miss Plat-
soeder gave an informative talk
on the differences between
schools in Germany and the Un-
ited States.
German schools put consider-
able more emphasis on books,
with practically no extra-curri-
cular activities being offered, it
was pointed out. Also the per-
centage of students %going to
high school is much smaller.
There is also a much more
rigid system of examination to
determine a pupil’s ability to
proceed with high school work.
Pupils who do not pass these
examinations enter various
schools according to the jobs
for which they wish to prepare
themselves.
