To the people ot the United States, English is the most important language. Because ot the tast-moving world ot today, it is imperative that Ameri- cans understand each other. They must be able to use their language effectively in order to preserve democ- racy. As future leaders, the students must be able to com- municate with other societies. For this reason Latin, French, and Spanish are included in the curriculum. Be- cause French is the diplomatic language ot the world, it is spoken in almost every country. Latin has served as the basis tor many European languages that are vital to the world. Spanish is the language spoken by our Southern neighbors.
