A year ago Dr. Knud- sen pleked 101 “fypical American boys” and led them to Denmark. where they were taken into Danish homes and spent two months in close contact with the natives of that eountry. It was his hope that mome other country might wish to play host to American youths at some future time, and he was| greatly pleased when Denmark ask- ed te repeat its hospitality this 3 r and when both Norway and jweden requested that bovs from this country be sent to them. This summer 400 boys will he | taken on the trip, accompanied by 49 adult college leaders. They wili set out from New York city on July 38 aboard the liner “Hellig Olav.” The first port of call will be Oslo, | the capitai of Norway, where one- | halt of the boys will leave. Thesr»‘ will be divided into two groups of 100 boys each, one group going to | Gothenburg, the commercial center | on the weat coast of Sweden, and | the other to Stockholm, the capital of that eountry. They will be en- tertained in and around those two cities for three weeks. ‘The remaining 200 boys will con- tinue on the “Hellig Olav” to Den- mark, where they will be aplit into four groups of 50 each, and will scatter to the following interesting Danish towns: Odense, a town on the island of Fyn; Vejle, in south- ern Jutland; Aalborg, in northers Jutland, and Bornholm, a Baltic re: island. They will be entertained in these places for 10 days and on August 19 will assembla and return by special steamer to Oslo, where they will spend eight days. Two Weeks in Copenhagen On August 29 the entire 40 youths will gather in Copenhagen, Danish capital, where they will r main until 8eptember 12, when they will leave for home on the “Inited Btates.” This ia dua to dock in New York city on, Saptember 23. Dr. Knudsen . will be in personal charge of the expedition and will be agsisted, not only by the college 1saders, but by a group of 15 which will include a medical staff and ex- perts to organize the American ac- tivitles which will be presented abroad. These include athletics, in- strumental and vocal music, de- bating, recitations, and talks. While in Scandinavia the hoys will be en- tertained in the homes of well-to-do families which speak and understand English.
