The Study of Languages Promotes Understanding One of the most important ingredients in association with people in the world today is understanding. An at- tempt to fulfill this basic need is made by the language departments of St. John's. In the ofifering of courses in Latin, Spanish and French, St. John's hopes to promote understanding by the knowledge of other people, and their history and culture. Latin students learn not only Latin, but a history, which, though it dates back thousands of years, is still very much a part of our world today. Who could teach Spanish any better than someone to whom Spanish was a native language? And, so it was that this yearis Spanish students learned Spanish as it is spoken. The French class too had its own techniques. French was taught from conversations on films and records so that it could be understood, nothing but French was spoken once inside the classroom.
