EARLY TEACHING OF FRENCH.

Credit is given to Catholic mission
aries for the first teaching Of French
in America in a bulletin on modern
languages just issued by the United
States bureau OF education. DR.. Hand
schin. author OF the bulletin, shows
that even before the English setti.
ments were fairly started, the Jes-
uits were bringing their language
and civilization into the valley OF the
St. Lawrence and the Mississippi. In
Louisiana French was first taught by
the Ursuline nuns, who came from
Rouen, France, in 1927. In their con-
vent school they anticipated the de-
mands Of present-day language teach
ers by insisting that instruction both
in French and English be not only
"in theory, but in practice, the pupils
being required to converse daily in
both languages"
French was a favorite subject in
the private schools OF colonial days
and later. Thomas Jefferson studied
French in the school Of a certain Mr..
Douglass. In Franklin's Academy OF
Philadelphia" it was taught as pri-
vate outside study until 1854, when
a professor Of French and German was
appointed. In 1890 THE Boarding
| School Tin Bethlehem, Pa, for the
Education OF Young Misses" offered
/ instruction in French, stating that "a
| lady, we'll versed in this language, has
arrived from Europe with the inten-
ton to give lessons in the same" An
extra charge of five Spanish dollars
per annum" was made for French.
In New England the early acade-
mics also taught French. frequently
as an incidental study with a special
| fee attached. The numerous Ohio
seminaries of the first half Of the
18th century. especially those for girls,
taught II as an optional study, on a
par with music and drawing.
II was some time before French
proved its right to a place in the col.
lege curriculum. In 1873 the Harvard
authorities gave permission to a ma
tive Frenchman named Longloisserie
to teach the language to such students
as desired 1t, but this privilege was
revoked shortly afterwards because
OF the dangerous opinions" of the
teacher The subject continued to be
taught intermittently until 1880, wher
it became a regular subject, and IL
1882 French had so grown in favor
that permission was given to substi
tute 1t for freshman and sophomore
Hebrew. Although William and Mary
college established a professorship o.
modern languages in 1779-S0, Amherst
according TO DR.. Handschin, was the
first institution in America to intro
duce a thoroughgoing modern Ian
guage course.
French as a high school subjec
grew rapidly after 1850. In 1SS6-S7
IL per cent of the students in thu
public high schools studied the Ian
guage. The latest figures cited by DR.
Handschin show that over a hundred
thousand students in public and pr
vate high schools are now taking il
French is little taught in the elemen
tary schools. except where there is
large French population, as in Louis
lana.
