For many　　years, artists have flocked to Paris, France, to paint or to learn to paint.　　Perhaps artists first went there because of the city's beauty.　　They went to paint pictures of the broad tree-lined streets, the great churches, and the graceful river bridges. The artists felt comfortable in Paris because the people of the city had always enjoyed art.　　Paris had great art museums, filled with famous paintings and statues from many countries. And the people of Paris had always welcomed new ideas.　　In this city, artists felt free to experiment with new ways of painting. As soon as famous artists painted in Paris, students came to learn them.　　People came to buy paintings.　　Men called art dealers set up galleries where paintings could be bought and sold.　　Others kept shops that sold artists' paints and supplies. Students and the artists who were not yet famous could live in Paris for very little money.　　They learned by studying great art in the museums, and they learned from one another.　　They held art fairs, hanging their paintings outdoors along the streets. Today, New York City and Florence, Italy, are also famous art centers.　　But the world's principal art exhibits are still held in Paris.　　Important judges of art live there.　　Most　　of the new ways of painting that have started in the last hundred years began in Paris.　　So artists and art dealers still go to Paris because it is the world's leading art center.

In Kansas City, Missouri, a computer helps fire-fighters. The computer keeps information about every one of the 350,000 street addresses in the city. When fire-fighters answer a call, the computer will give them important information about the burning building; its position, size and so on. In fact, the computer system has a lot of ways of helping fire-fighters with the problems facing them, For instance, it can give medical information about invalids living in a burning building. With this information, the fire-fighters can take special care to find these sick persons and save them.

The Kansas City computer system also keeps a medical record of each of the city's 900 fire-fighters. This kind of information is especially useful when a fireman is injured, With this medical information, doctors at the hospital can treat the injured fire-fighters more quickly and easily.

I am sure that no one can describe the feelings one has when they go home for the first time. I know I couldn’t. after living in school for three weeks and experiencing homesickness. I was actually looking forward to having some quiet time at home. On Friday, September 13, I left school for home at about 2:00 pm. On my way home, I kept thinking what it would be like to go home for the first time. As my mother drove through town, I could tell nothing had changed, but it was still very strange. Suddenly I learned that I was starting to regard Cedar Crest as my home.

I had a great weekend. I attended Jewish services most of the weekend and did a few other things that I had missed for three weeks. I spent a lot of time playing with my pet rabbit because I missed her a lot. I felt strange when I slept in my own bed again. When Sunday came around I actually wanted to go back to Cedar Crest. I missed my roommates there. And, I had to finish my homework. My father brought me back. When we arrived, I hugged and kissed him goodbye and carried all my stuff to the room myself. What I wanted most at that moment was to be back in Cedar Crest and see all my friend again.

I have been home once more since then. It still felt very strange. When it was time to go back to school for the second time, my father said, “What do you want to do now?”, my answer is that “I want to go home now.” It meant I wanted to go back to school. I guess you could say, “There is no place like home!”
