language leads to world unity With the great amount of foreign travel in today’s world, it is not a luxury for students to be able to speak a different language. It is almost a necessity. The language department of Pembroke prepares students in the lan- guages of French, Spanish, German and Latin. Realizing that the words themselves do not constitute a language, the teachers include studies of history, art, and music as a supplement to their regular curriculum. While instilling an even greater interest in the students concerning their languages, the assignment of reports, demonstrations and skits prove to be enjoyable learning experiences. The teachers concerned with language study realize that in the near future the comprehension and ability to speak with natives of other lands will lead to world unity.
