Foreign Language 'lilie Foreign Language Department offers two years of Latin, Spanish, lfrench, and German. The aims of the department are to supply the student with some geographical knowledge of the country where the language is spoken, to teach him to read with fluency, and to understand the language when spoken in its simpler forms. A new method of teaching was devised in Spanish this year. 'llwo different courses were formed-a college course and a non-College course. In the latter, only the necessary grammar is taught. Here the students learn to read immediately' and take up minor grammar principles as they need them. Having gained a sufficient foundation in Latin I, ll and lll, the Latin lk' classes puhlish annually a paper they call the HRes Latinae, made up entirely of contrihutions of the classes. In German, customs and traditions are learned along with a speaking and under- standing mastery of the language. ln addition to regular class work the students in French lV compile their own paper, called 'ALe Courier de L'lQcole. displaying all the features of a metropolitan newspaper. Each language department sponsors a cluh. At the meetings, class room and outside talent is presented to make more vivid the lite in the foreign countries. lN Iary C.
