Lalill II- .L if .A The ability to express oneself in a language other than his own is an asset in the modern world where continents are only hours apart. The study of an additional tongue also in- creases precisionin thought and aids variety in expression. The study of language is also said to be good mental dis- cipline. Latin, although a dead language, is considered to be of use in strengthening one's vocabulary because many English words are built upon Latin stems. The works of Caesar, Vir- gil and Cicero are translated and studied. In the study of Spanish, the goal is proficiency in speaking, as well as proficiency in reading and writing. The student learns simple, elementary statements which are used in actual conversation. In writing,the same procedure is followed. The language learned is a useful one, spoken by the people of tl1e southern half of our hemisphere. French is also a useful language. In its study a similar procedure to that followed in Spanish is utilized. Simple co11- versations take place and a student's vocabulary increases as he finds the words he knows insufficient for expression. K MR. ANTHOAVYC.
