Boulton, of Wigam, England, was the guest speaker on the program. Commending the club members on their motto of Service Above Self, Mrs. Boulton told the Rotarians she believed any program aimed at creat ing international goodwill in times like these was a light in the future. In her brief talk she spoke of many customs of her native England and explained the school system, which varies considerably from that of America. Children start to school at the age of five, and continue through the age of 16, after which they are given tests to determine if the student is to continue in educa tional fields or become an appre- tice in some field of work. Schools are. free, Mrs. Boulton said, and scholarships are offered in the Uni versities for those permitted to con tinue endeavors leading to profes sions. " Mrs. Boulton told of socialized medicine, which has been adopted in England, and said of this that doc tors who first opposed the plan now seemingly favor it but the weakness was with many people who took much time of the doctors in seeking treat ment of very minor ailments. 'She spoke of England's nroblem of providing foodstuff for the Peo ple, pointing out the lack of space and suitable soil made it impossible for England to raise sufficient food for the people and therefore, was forced to import many things. Rationing of certain food items continue, she said, but tiie control over some items have been lifted. At the close of the meeting Mrs! Boulton was presented a gift from the Rotary Club by J. R. Fturell, program chairman for the night.
