THE WORLDS TONGUE.

English is today wha. French was
in he eighteenth centu ", and Latin
in the mioule ages, the language
chosen by common consent for inter
communication between statesman
savants and fashionable and literary
persons of different nations. With
English one can make his way con-
veniently along any of the beaten
t. acks in Europe. More people now
speak English as their vernacular
than speak any other European
tongue.
O: the English tongue is the recent
action of the school authorities Of
the German government in making
English an optional study in the pub
lie schools of Saxony. This action
was induced by a petition addressed
to the government by the Dresden
Schoolmasters' association. The pc
t;tion was an excellent syllabus of the
arguments in favor Of English as
subject for study in the German pub
lie schools. portion of it was as
follows:
First-En2lish is the most widely
used civilized language in the world.
language for Germanys international
trade relations. In Dresden especial
ly the knowledge of English is OF
great advantage to shopkeepers and
commercial men, owing to the i'm
portant Anglo-American colony there.
Thrd-English deserves prefer
ence over French on account of its
literature, which (a) eXcels that of
French both from the artistic and
moral point of view; (b) appeals
more nearly to our sentiment and I'M
derstanding as that of a German peo-
pie; (c) has played a prominent part
in the development of our own litera-
ture.
Fourth-Engish is not inferior to
French in educative value.
Fifth-In the teaching of English
the readily learned grammatical
ferns of the language enable the time
allotted to its study TO be spent in
attaining the most important object in
teaching a foreign language-the pow
or of its free use in speech and writ
irg. This is not possible in the case
OF French, owing to the difficulties OF
its grammar,
It is only within recent times tha>
English has been taught carefully
even in English and American
schools. The old theory was that
student learned English best by read
ing the Latin and Greek authors.
While the benefits of knowledge OF
Latin and Greek are very great. and
certinly assist in acquiring the accom-
plishment of using English correctly
and elegantly, the close attention now
given to English in our own schools
will improve the average quality OF
English composition.
We scarcely appreciate what a
treasure We possess in our English
tongue. The vocabulary of English
has been enriched by plunder from
every land and every language. II
is a flexible tongue, adaptable to any
IDEA, and a tongue which welcomes
accessions when those are necessary
