A bulletin issued recently by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching proposes a plan for a permanent arrangement by which teachers of the United States shall be assigned for a year or half-year to schools in Prussia, and vice versa.

He must be a college or university graduate and have been a teacher, though not necessarily of language, for at least a year. His living expenses will be paid by the government of the country to which he goes.
