Studies in foreign lan- guages weaken barriers of misunderstanding, while English courses strengthen American education by im- proving skills of expression in her native tongue. Taking utripsw around the world by picture or tast- ing German ukuchen,'7 pupils of French, German, and Spanish gain knowledge of foreign cultures as well 'as languages. Since the modern approach to language study emphasizes conversational ability, pupils spend a portion of their class time in the ulanguage lab re- peating taped drills. Studying novels and editing newspapers in the language provide practice in com- prehension and composition skills. Necessarily, the study of Latin, as the only unspoken language, em- ploys the translation approach. Fundamental studies in composition, literature, vo- cabulary, and grammar are stressed in English I through VI. Further study in English VII, VIII, and X concentrates on composition skills and English lit- erary heritage. Presenting their views on lVlaugham's Of Human Bondage, a panel of advanced pupils initi- ated Ripple's participation of NYouth Looks at Lit- erature, a new television program presenting infor- mal discussions from the cityis schools.
