ozef I2 any uagea Ancient and Modern Here at Paseo, the modern language departments wish, above all, to develop a feeling of international respect and toler- ance. After we become acquainted with the vast cultural background, the customs, the ideals, and history of a people, we are better able to understand their problems and methods of solving these problems. Ill-will among the peoples of the world will be reduced when we are able to place ourselves in the position of others. A knowledge of their language is a great aid in arriving at this goal. Our German department stresses the acquirement of a reading and speaking knowledge of simple German but never loses sight of the broader goal mentioned above. ln order to apply the vocabulary learned in class and to learn more of the music, literature, and history of the Ger- man people, Der Deutsche Verein was organized ten years ago. Because of the central location of the German people in Europe, it can truly be said that the history of Germany is the history of Europe. La Fleur de Lis has been organized this year by our French department to help the students toward a better under- standing and a more fluent use of the language. Since international relations are largely carried on in the French lan- guage, a knowledge of French enables us to understand diplomatic words and phrases and to read the originals of treaties. The rich historical and cultural Page past of France, places a large store of knowledge at the disposal of one ac- quainted with the language. Since Spanish is the language of all but one of the independent nations south of the Rio Grande and of our own Puerto Rico, our Spanish students learn not only of the customs and history of Spain, but also of American countries. Those of us, who learn Spanish, can be leaders in establishing more friendly relations with our southern neighbors. El Ateneo, our Spanish club, promotes interest in the Spanish language and the customs of Spain and lbero-America. The more complex and newer words in the English language are derived from Latin, the language of Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. Fuller powers of expression are to be had by students of Latin, for they are able to trace the derivation of many English words. The essentials of grammar are also learned from the study of Latin. Any of us, of course, may read excellent translations of the Latin classics, but any literary work loses the feeling and richness of the original in transla- tion. The Ciceronians and Virgilians are made up of third and fourth year students respectively. As their names imply, it is their purpose to create a better knowledge of Cicero and Virgil. Our language faculty is Miss Alma Betz, German, Mr. Paul C. Constant, French, Miss Nellie M. Cody, Spanish, Miss lane Adams, Latin, and Miss Irene Blase, Latin. I3 ' TT J.
