MWVWZW W! V ' N ,f i V W tl U I lls tjm ws LANGUAGES It is our belief that the study of foreign languages should be the source of present and enduring pleasure and inspiration. We-. do not mean that all mental effort can be or should be eliminated, but it should not be drudgery. This latter is too often the case where a student has only two years of French or Spanish or Latin, because of the cxactingcollege entrance requirements which must be met in that short time. They do not leave time for the games, songs, vocabulary contests, spelling matches and other diversions which can bring such fun as we play while learning? This is the reason why we are now offering languages in the eighth grade. Having this added year, it is not necessary to concentrate' on re- quirements, but there is time to enjoy natural progress and acheivement, :ind to learn something of our far-away neighbors and their countries. As the present program develops and our library facilities increase, .we hope to have regular library days on which the foreign language classes will meet in the library, each student reading whatever he wishes about the country in which he is most interested. Then we want fourth year classes added. In Europeancountries the study of a foreign language is begun early and continues through five or six years or even longer. This is necessary for the acquirement of ease in reading and any fluency in speaking. We are convinced that a student who commences the study of a foreign language in the eighth grade and continues it throu-gh high school, adding perhaps a second in the tenth grade, will be graduated with so thorough a knowledge of at least one other tongue that it will be of .practical and cultural benefit to him all his life. Reading and speaking this language should have become a p'leasu're1which we will never willingly relinquish. Unconsciously, one of the greatest aims of education will have been accomplished: that of arousing a lasting interest which will contri- butehto the wholesome enjoyment of leisure hours. How unlimited glare the possibilities forhappy exploration in thewhole literature of another people! A popular scholar and l913iIl'.l1'91' said recently: The breadth of a man's cul- ture IS measured by the breadth of his sympathies. What study can offer a greater opportunity for broadening our sympathies than the study of modernplanguages? The more We learn of a language the more we want to know or the people who speak it and inevitably, the more we understand other people greater becomes our sympathy with them. Every little advance in this direction is a step toward the realization of our nation's Cl'l81'1Sh9d dream of universal peace. 1171-
