Foreign Language Makes Staeiemfr Patriotic IN A DEMOCRACY where all nationalities live and all languages are spoken, teaching foreign languages is important. Ottawa teaches Latin and French and has a Latin club called S.P.Q.R.', and a French club Les Amateurs Francais. In the Latin classes taught by Miss Katherine Smith, a wall panel was made illustrating the costumes of Roman men and women. A model Roman home was redecorated and refinished and two recordings of class work were made. In Miss Horn's French class culture points are given when a student visits art and furniture exhibits, French movies, opera and ballet, lectures about France and French Canada, or reads magazine articles, and biographies.
