But if Dybvik is in love with his homeland, he has plenty of affection left over for the United States --especially Grass Valley and Nevada County. One reason he finds it.so easy to like Grass Valley and Nevada County is that it reminds him of home. "It is very much like this around Moss and Oslo," he Says (Moss is a city of about 20,000 situated some 40 miles south of the capital city of Oslo in Southern Norway). Even the temperature Tange is not as different as most people imagine, he says. "Inthe winterthe coldest days are about 10 degrees below zero. In the summer it reaches about 85.

"The American Schools, " he says, “offer a very good and broad education--if the pupils will just take advantage of it." The system, according to Dybvik, is weakened by the elective policy that allows pupilsto skip hard academic courses in favor of the easier manual-training ones. In Norwegianschools electives are unheard of, but he he thinks this may be leaning too far the other way. Our biggest lack, in mind, is in foreign language instruction. "In Norway it is compulsory to_study English and German.’ If you go on to the Gymnasium (a cross between asenior high school anda junior college for those select students hoping to attend a univeristy) you must also take French. "We have always emphasized English and German because we had so much contact with England and Germany. But you people should at least study German in your schools if only because the Germans are ‘a great people in the field of science, " Since Dybvik teaches German, English and geography in the Moss secondary school, it’s only natural that he would like language emphasized. But, if his cursory examination of American schools leads him to believe they are deficient in this respect, he feels they are superior in at least one other. Compulsory education in Norway only covers children from seven to 14, with just the more intelligent going on from herein academic studies. A new law willraise this another two years, but Dybvik likes the 12-year plan used here~~even if its application sometimes falls short Whist Benefit Set in Penn Valley A whist party to benefit the Penn Valley Volunteer Fire Department will be held tomorrow night at.the New Ready Spr ng School in Penn Valley.

Like all able-bodied Scandanavians, he's an ardent skiier, The proximity of good ski areas is another reason he likes Nevada County. “Coming here was a very goodthing for me," he concludes. “Many Norwegian teachers wantedtocome, but there are only three taken each year.

Furthermore, legend continues, "it was impossible to shoot a gun off at night’ in the ravine.” Forthe most part the local citizenry had better sense than to try to go anywhere that would bring them near the feared spot.
