EARLY TEACHING OF FRENCH.
Was Done in Academies: Now High
Schools Give 1t.

Credit is given to Catholic missionar
les for the first teaching of French ii
america in a bulletin on modern Ian
guages just issued by the United States
bureau of education. Dr. Handschin
author of the bulletin, shows that even
before the English settlements were fair
~ started, the Jesuts were bringing
their language and civilization into the
valleys of the st. Lawrence and the
Mississippi In Louisiana French was
first taught by the Ursuline nuns, who
came from Rouen, France, in 1877. In
their convent school they anticipated the
demands of present-day language teach
ers by insisting that instruction both
in French and English be not only sin
theory, but in practice, the pupils being
required to converse daily in both Ian
guages."
French was favorite subject in the
private schools of Colonial days and lat
err. Thomas Jefferson had studied French
in the school of a certain Mr.. Doug
lass. In Franklin's Academy of Phil
adelphia' it was taught as private
outside study until 1854 when a pro-
lessor of French and German was APP
pointed. In 1900 THE Boarding School
tin Bethlehem, Pa for the Educa ton
of Young Misses" offered instruction in
French, stating that "a lady, well versed
in this language, has arrived from Eu-
rope with the intention to give lessons
in the same" An extra charge of five

GRANITEvILLE.

| Last night the home missionary
society OF the Presbyterian church held
it's fourth annual meeting in the audito-
rum, which was in every respect a sue
cess. Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather, there was a good attend
ance. The meeting took the place of the
regular Sunday evening service and is
known as the thank offering meeting.
Mrs. Macarthur occupied the chair and
conducted the meeting. The pastor
opened the service with prayer. num-
Der of appropriate hymns were sung and
scripture was read. The secretary, Mrs.
ID. II. Mcdonald, gave an excellent re-
port of the meeting held year ago and
showed that several members were added
to the roll. The treasurer Mrs. Malcolm
Mckinnon. gave full statement of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the past
year The subject for the evening was
1.-The Spiritual Condition of the Aborig
ines of America" To illustrate the sub
jeet. Mrs. Macarthur told in an impress
sive way OF her visit to village on the
Pacific coast, which was inhabitated by
pagan Indians, and eontrasted their de-
graded condition with the happy lot of
Christian Indians, whom she afterwsrd
met at Regina. Most appropriate and
wellread papers were given by the pres
ident, Mrs. McRae Mrs. Roach. Mrs. Ed.
wards, Mrs. McKinnon and Mrs. ID. II.
Mcdonald. During the collection. the
choir rendered an appropriate missionary
hymn, which was much appreciated. The
offering amounted to $40 and was con-
secrated by prayer, after which the
meeting closed.

JINGLES AND JESTS
Why Is II?

There are ways of making cash
With a minimum of toll
Man need never feel the lash
Nor yet burn the midnight OIL
There are chances everywhere
We can sit around like Turks;
Fortune whispers In the air
Yet most everybody works.
Lures beset us on our way
To the desk or to the bench.
''Toil no more" glad voices say.
Drop the pen or hoe or wrench:
Put dollar there or here
Then the rest that each one Graves
No one needs to work: that's clear
Yet most everybody slaves.
Nearly every one you meet
Knows a game that's sure TO win.
Grab IL now, for time is feet.
Workings Just form Of sin.
This will put you past all need.
Free you from each chain that binds
From tolls car we can be freed
Yet most everybody grinds.

THE TAXATION LEGISLATION.

Admittedly, the most important act
legislature was the enactment of a
taxation law which radically changes a
system that has been in operation for
many years. The former law did not
work satisfactorily to all concerned; in
fact no tax law does work to the sat
sfsetion of every taxpayer. and the
problem is to eliminate as much as pos
slbe the features which work to the
disadvantage of the majority. The law
enacted abolishes offsets and exempts
from taxation money that is loaned on
Vermont real estate at five per cent. or
less. The latter provision may work
out TO the results anticipated by the
sponsors of the measure and without
any undue hardships upon any one class
Of property holders; but the former
provision is calculated to work to the
disadvantage of large classes of people
everywhere in the state, particularly
the merchant class and the manufactur-
ing class, upon the latter of whom rests
a great measure Of the prosperity and
progress of the state. After two years
trial of this law the state is likely to
revert, not TO the system of wholesale
offsetting but rather to some system
which will give a measure of relief to
persons who are forced to do business
on borrowed capital and who under tue
newly enacted law are compelled to pay
the double burden of interest and taxes
on the same property.
But, in any event, the legislature Of
1928 may have this said about IL,
that il took some decided steps in the
matter Of taxation in an honest effort
TO eliminate the evils and injustice OF
taxation. Succeeding legislatures will
not find il so hard 10 break away from
the established conditions in further ef. !
forts TO eliminate evils which NAV crop
ont from time 10 time.

CURRENT COMMENT
The SUMS Best Wishes to Lord.

The Sun habitually refrains from men
tioning changes in its domestic establish
ment, but the record of continuous and
important service rendered by Chester
Sanders Lord and the esteem in which
he has always been and is now held by
his associates surely make proper this
note in this place. 1t is forty-one years
since Mr.. Lord entered the newspapers
employ, and thirty-three years since he
became managing editor by Mr.. Dana's
appointment. From 1880 until now he
has been in immediate charge of the
news columns of the morning paper,
function of responsibility exercised by
him with high and loyal intelligence.
This relation, covering third of GEN.
fury, ended Saturday by Mr.. Lords re-
tirement. He carries away from the
desk so long occupied an honorably ac-
cumulated treasure of reputation and
respect and good will.--New York Sun.

Spanish dollars per annums was made
for French.
In New England the early academies
also taught French, frequently as an
incidental study with special fee at,
tached. The numerous Ohio seminaries
of the first half of the nineteenth cen
fury, especially those for girls, taught
il as an optional study, on par with
music and drawing
! 1t was some time before French proved
! its right to a place in the college cur
! ricuum. In 1888 the Harvard author
titles gave permission to a native French
man named Longloisserie to teach the
language TO such students as desired it,
but this privilege was revoked shortly
afterwards because OF the dangerous
opinions" OF the teacher. The subject
continued to be taught internationally
until l7S0, when it became a regular
subject; and in 1882 French had so
grown in favor that permission was
given to substitute it for freshman and
sophomore Hebrew. Although William
and Mary college established profess
sorship of modern languages in 1880,
Amherst, according to DR.. Handschia,
was the first institution in America to
introduce thoroughgoing modern Ian
guage course.
French as high school subject grew
rapidly after 1850. In lsS6-S7 ii per
cent. of the students in the public high
schools studied the language. The lat
est figures cited by DIR. Handschin show
that over a hundred thousand students
in public and private high schools are
now taking it. French is little taught
in the elementary schools, except where
there is a large French population, as in
Louisiana.

The End Of the Literacy Test.

President Taft's courageous veto OF
the immigration bill was not vain act
after all. His forceful reasoning won
over enough votes in the House to pre-
vent the passage of the bill over his
veto and the measure is dead so far
as the present Congress is concerned.
What will happen in the coming era
of increased Democratic control no one
can forecast. But we think much has
been accomplished in the present debate
toward clarifying opinion. The liter
acy test has been thoroughly debated
and its weakness abundantly laid bare
How widely it misses the mark con-
cededly to be aimed at and what dam
age it would almost certainly do the
country is for all to see.
The desirable features of the pending
bill will undoubtedly be resubmitted to
the next Congress in new bill. II is
greatly to be hoped however, that the
last has been seen of the dangerous
and laundering literacy test.-New York

Governor Fletcher still has quite a
ehore to perform in the appointment OF
many persons to fiji important state po-
sitions, appointments which are ordinar.
lily made shortl yafter the assembling OF
the legislature. In addition, there are
five appointments Of local concern as
there are five municipal judge positions
to be filled. The office of state purchus-
ing agent is one of the major state
Offices to be filed, and for that place
Dewey T. Hanley, at present deputy
state auditor, is prominently mentioned.
Mr.. Hanley undoubtedly has many Of
the qualifications which would go to
make successful purchasing agent; and.
Furthermore, his lon experience in the

the work of instituting the new depart
ment. Governor Fletcher might look a
long time before getting better man
for the place.
