SPANISH AS AN ASSET IN BUSINESS T the beginning of the school year the Papers announced in large headlines, ttSpanish to be taught in the Night High Schools. It may be elected instead of Latin. There were some people in the city who thought. upon reading this statement, that such a radical departure from the old curriculum was to be deplored, but there were others who. through business interests in South America, having some conception of the vast undeveloped wealth of that continent and hence rapidly increasing business oppor- tunities, heartily approved of this change. '13 Unibn Panamericana,' a monthly hmgazine published in H'zishihgton, and printed in English, French, German. Portuguese and Spanish languages, deals With the wonderful development of the South American countries. the constantly increasing business opportunities, and the improved means of comnmnication. Our exports to these Latin countries, it says. for the fiscal year were $196,000,000. an increase of $10.000.000 over the preceding year. As Spanish is the language generally spoken in the far south. with the development of a great inter- national trade, it is readily seen that a knowledge of Spanish is an invaluable asset for the young man or woman entering upon a business career. 51 Up to the lint decade the North Americans had very little interest in South America although the Germans, English and French, quick to realize the Opportunities which awaited them; were suing and competing for favors there, while the Yankeeh explored other Fields. The Germans and the Englishmen forti- fied by making a study of the Spanish language, the business methods, interests and personal characteristics of that nation, readily gained the upper hand. They printed catalogues in Spanish, advertised in their papers and maintained a corre- spondence in that language, and as a natural result they secured the vast negotiations of the South American countries. The North Americans have awakened at last to the fact that millions of dollars are being lost to the United States yearly through ignorance. They awoke in a hurry, the increase of $10,00I.lel'1 in the export: of this year is a silent acknowledge- The Opening of the Panama Canal will make possible a As :1 result many positions are awaiting meut. still greater increase. for those equipped with a knowledge of the Spanish language, The Public Schools, ever ready to meet the demands of the public, are doing what lies within their power to prepare their puPils in this line.
