He would not say a word, Then hurl insults He was heard, by those Who didn't hear his whisper - Do you like me? WouIdn't print - yet wrote sin Couldn't read - see the blood The lightning and the Cloud, In the picture . . . Never ioining in the game To him, You all look the same. Never asking or showing But pleading with a grin - Do you like me? Emotionally disturbed, oh they heard They all heard, this policeman Demanding their obedience. His parents were concerned That he learn, he must learn Like the others with the giggles, Never trying nor replying But imploring - Do you like me? He sat alone building housesp Never homes - For Cinderella, a lofty castle Her sisters, a birchbark tent A laugh, then contemplation Removed to the safety of the white and the gray, From the shadows and depths of the children at play Giving their hearts, help and sympathy ln this land of mosaics, willingly ln this world where all are free, Silently praying . . . Do you love me? OLWEN ROBERTS

riculum is strictly set without the freedom or chance to follow one's personal inclination and talent. This phen- omenon is particularly prevalent at the university level. The universities are overcrowded and the doors of pres- tige universities or courses leading to a good position or income are open to students who satisfy the re- quirements of the Party, those who do not, no matter how talented, are rerouted to other universities o'r could be even barred from further studies. The state recognizes, just as Plato and Aristotle did, the great importance of education and sees to it that by the pro- vision of a proper education and environment the chosen elite is conditioned to become the faithful serv- ant of the system. Political sciences and Marxist-Lenin- ist dogmas are integral parts of this training. FUREIGN LANGUAGE BRANKO DERONJA I was about ten years old when the English language became a compulsory subject in our schools. This sud- den decision on the part of the Board of Education created a great shortage of English teachers, however, this fact bothered neither the Board of Education nor the pupils. The principal would select a sinner from the staff, who was then given the task of teaching him- self and us, the English language. We were quite happy with this arrangement, since in this way, the new sub- ject presented no headaches. On the contrary, the Eng- lish was a pleasant relaxation from the other subjects. During these lessons we entertained ourselves quite well. When the teacher did not learn the new lesson, he would get quite indignant at the mere mention of English, and would quickly turn the conversation to a different area. He would tell us, for instance, how King Mitridat VI, who reigned a whole century before Christ, spoke twenty-two languages. He would then tell us about an old Montenegran who travelled around the world and knew five languages, his only fault being he spoke them all with a montenegran accent. At times, when our teacher did learn the lesson that he was to teach us, he would inevitably-begin with: Children, you have to pay special attention to the English language. This language is not essential, let us say, if you plan to become a Minister of Internal Af- fairs, but if your ambition is to become a doorman in a hotel, then know that without English you cannot acquire this post. After this wise saying, he would place in front of us a well-known book, Olendorf Method for Learning English . This book was the only textbook that existed, and from it both teacher and pupil learned English. At last, a conversation based strictly on the Olendorf method started. 22 Finally, something about the education and training of the teachers themselves. The educators are trained at three levels. Those who have an early call of vocation can enter a Pedagogical Secondary School , from where, upon successfully completing the fourth year, they obtain a teacher's certificate enabling them to teach in the lower four grades of the primary schools. The teachers of the upper four grades of the primary schools are educated at college level in the so-called Pedagogical Upp-er School . lt takes three years to complete this course where every teacher specializes in two or three subjects. Thus, starting from Grade 5 the children can benefit from the more thorough know- ledge of specialized teachers. To teach at the secondary or higher level requires a university or post-graduate degree. Question: The brother of your wife, does he have a bird that sings nicely? Answer: Yes, the brother of my wife has a bird that sings nicely . Question: lsn't your aunt's sister a relative of my nephew's aunt's sister? Answer: Yes my aunt's sister is a relative of your nephew's aunt's sister. Question: Did you see my uncle's knife? Answer: Yes, I saw your uncle's knife on the bench in the garden of my aunt. As you can see from these examples, the Olendorf method is well suited for learning the English language. Spelling gave us the most trouble. This was a pitfall that buried not only our class, but our whole genera- tion. lt is true that other languages have difficult spel- lings, but somehow these looked reasonable in com- parison. When English is a foreign language you almost feel that the English made it up as one of their military manoeuvers for destroying the enemy. A barb wire seems to envelope this language and any attempt to learn it is always painful. You sweat and sweat until you finally learn a phonetic rule, and then, happily, you stand in front of the teacher to recite the rule that you just learned hoping the teacher will say, Very well, sit down . Instead, he asks you if the rule has any exceptions and if so what are they. That is about the same as when you, with the greatest of gusto, finish eating a dish of cooked peaches covered with honey an dthe one who serves you exclaims, Now you must swallow this crab-apple! Because of these intricacies in both En-glish spelling and English grammar, a pass in the subject was the ex- ception, not the rule.
