O ' REILLY FOREIGN LANGUAGE: NEW EQUIPMENT MODERNIZES LANGUAGE LAB Mastery ot one ' s own language is basic to the educated student, but knowledge of other languages and cultures is useful in increasing subtlety of thought and analysis. Thus, the Niles Foreign Language Department offers a variety of courses in Spanish, French, Latin, German, and Russian, to increase the student ' s skills of reading, speaking, writing and listening comprehension. In the classroom, students are introduced to the grammatical structure ol their language, while in¬ specting the culture and customs ol the people from which it is derived. During extra-curricular activities, the student may hear a French singer, see a German film, or read modern Russian verse, all increasing proficiency in the language and in the knowledge of its people.
