wrono Method of r.aehino.

Consul Paul Nash, of Venice, writes:
Hundreds of well-educated Americans
annually pass through Venice and, al
though probably nine-tenths of them
have had several years of instruction
in a European language, not one
tenth are capable Of speaking dozen
connected words of anything but Eng
fish. Even college graduates, fresh
from prize-winning in French or Ger
man, are generally unable to speak
either language, although capable of
writing an excellent thesis on their
history, phIlology, syntax and litera-
ture. This is the result of teaching
French and German in much the same
way that Latin and Greek are taught"

says writer, ''in the desire to con-
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
instance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew it would very possibly
insure the defeat of the one whose
feelings were betrayed to the other"
