Why we sh,dld Study Spanish.

| The question is being mooted wbethr
English or Spanish shall be spoken D
the Congress of American Nations to b
held in Washington next October. IS
only two of the delegates appointed On
behalf of this country can speak Spanish
and none of the visiting delegates will
probably know word of English, it viii
not only be the best plan but necessary
to let each delegate speak bis mother
tongue, what is said being made known
to the Congress by means of interpreters.
This discussion suggests that study
of the Spanish language might prove
profitable to young men in this country
contemplating business career. If the
Congress effects those very intimate
commercial relations between the United
States aud Its southern neighbors that it
is hoped will be the result of its delibe-
rstions, many drummers. agents, &c !.
will be needed to 60 into the new field
of trade, and prime requisite of a COM
petcnt man for such work will be an
ability to speak Spanish. The languake
is liquid, musical, and easily learned l.
Any one having knowledge of Lain
will find it especially easy of acquih.
ment.
1t is altogether possible, and we hope
highly probable, that in the course of a
decade Birmingham will be doing a
thriving business shipping articles of
iron and steel manufactures to Mexico.
Central and South America, and then
the young man who can speak Spanish
will be at premium and able to secure
good situation Sithout difficulty.
Our advice to the school bow who
wants to qualify himself for business is
to study Spanish. 1t might be taught
IN the public schools, and ought to be
in all Of our universities.
