1 1 Languages It has become a necessity in todayis world for people to be able to communicate with each other. The language barrier, which has always been the greatest obstacle to this end, is di- minishing day by day. This is due for the most part to increased language instruction in the schools. Pleasantville High School is fortunate in having so many advantages to its language pro- gram. We have excellent teachers, some of whom are teaching their native tongue. Our French instruction begins in elementary school, and high school credit is given in junior high school. A wonderful new addition this year is the language laboratory complete with facilities for each student to listen, speak, and record his own speech on tape. NATHAN GABRIEL Out-of-town reformer . . .
