CLASS 1 — Travel, Sports, Manners and Customs 17 1009 Code CABUR Children of Holland Post A visit to the quaint and picturesque city of Volendam, Holland, where our attention is drawn to the children in their baggy trousers, wooden shoes and winged caps. We see them at work and at play, rolling hoops, playing football, etc. Their stiff wooden shoes affect their walk, giving the children a peculiar gait. They are very particular to leave their shoes at the door when entering the house. The streets are really the brick-paved tops of dikes which keep the water from overflowing this extremely low flat country. There are no autos on the streets nor do we see any beasts of burden or other means of transportation. Apparently "Shanks' mare" performs this service for rich and poor alike. Many of the men are fishermen on the Zuider Zee and their picturesque boats line the wharves. We visit Marken, a small island nearby, and observe slight differences in its costumes from those of Volendam, though the general characteristics are the same and as in Volendam we see children everywhere. An instructive and fascinating journey to an unusually interesting land. 330 jeet Rental $1.25 1010 Code CACA Poland Post For 150 years previous to the World War, Poland was in subjection to Russia, Germany and Austria. These countries were compelled to grant her independence as the result of the Treaty of Versailles. About two-thirds of the population of 30,000,000 is agricultural, and this subject is concerned largely with the country life of the peasant class. Polish women have always been renov/ned for their grace and beauty. Characteristic types are shown and one is particularly impressed with the fact that most of the poorer people go barefooted, except to church. 357 jeet Rental $1.25 1012 Code CACI Athens Post Athens is one of the world's oldest cities. In 1068 B. C. it was already a thriving village. It contains many historic old ruins of once famous temples and other buildings and in our trip about the city we see these as well as the more modern ones. First comes the Parthenon, built about the Sixth Century B. C. and called the "most perfect monument of ancient art." Then comes the Stadium, 330 B. C, built of Pentellic marble. This huge structure was the original site of the Olympic games and seats 50,000 people. We visit also the Place de la Constitution, Boulevard de I'Universite. Academy of Science and the University. On account of its fascinating history this Greek city is of interest to the whole world and one's studies in ancient history are vividly recalled by the scenes in this film. 352 feet Rental $1.25 1013 Code CACO Children of Roumania Post Despite the fact that for years the children of Roumania have been victims of neglect and poverty, they are bright and very responsive. As a rule they know far more of work than of play. They are too valuable as workers to be forced to go to school and only those who want to go to school do so. If they don't like the teacher they stay away. Each home has its own small flock of sheep which are generally tended by Select plenty of alternates
