MISSIONARIES
TEACH FRENCH
Favorits Subject Private
Schools In Colonial Days

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
.ctotae Rureau of Education. Dr..
Handschin, author of the bulletin
shows that even before the Engllsh
settlements we're fairly started, the
Jesuits 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 l72l. IN
their convent school they anticipated
the demands of p~resent-day Ian
guage teachers by insisting that in
struction both in French and English
be not only ''in theory, but in prac-
tice, the pupils being required to
converse daily in both languages"
French was a fayorite 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" 1t was taught as a
private outside study until 1854,
when a professor of French and Ger
man was appointed. In ~1790-"The
Boarding School Gin Bethlehem,
Pa for the Education 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 les
sons in the same An extra charge
of 1--WE Spanish dollars per annum'
was made for French.
In New England the early academ'
les also taught French, frequently
as an incidental study with a special
fee attached. The numerous Ohio
seminar1es OF the first half Of the
nineteenth century, especially those
for girls, taught it as an optional
study, on a par with music and
drawing.
1t was some time before French
proved its right to a place in the
college curriculum. In 1898 the Har-
ward authorities gave permission to
native Frenchman named Longlois-
serie to teach the language to such
| students as desired 1t, but this pri-
vilege was revoked shortly after
| wards because of the dangerous op'
inions'' of the teacher. The subject
| continued to be taught intermittent
ly until 1880, when 1t became a regu-
lar subject; and in 1882 French had
so grown in favor that permission
was given to substitute 1t for fresh

1 knew him about as well as he
did himself, this newspaper chap.
Figuratively speaking, we were
born and raised together. and act
ually speaking we spent our baby
hood, our boyhood and our man
hood in each others company: our
companionship was inseparaole, our,
friendship for each other was never
broken by even childhood spat, a
cross word or infatismal thought of
distrust.
We were born in Dlxeyland, not
far from Mason and Dixon's line,
but being from the lower side of it,
we were both proud to call oursel-
yes Southeners. Our parents, while
not rich in worldly goods, had
enough energy and parental love
and forethought to give us fairly
good education. Neither of us
were particularly bright IN our
studies, but we managed to hold
our own and keep up with our class
satisfactorily. so that we graduated
with a string of good percentages to
our credit.
Under the existing conditions, l
could not honorably mention his
real name, but we will know him as
MacGregor, as that is about as
Scotch as his wn, and will answer
quite as we'll to all intents and 1.ur-
poses.
Idon't know where we inherited
our intense desire for printing from,
but when we were little shavers in
knickerbockers we used to work on
little wooden press one of the big
ger boys with an ingenuity for max
ing things, had given us; and with
this and some old type of an appal-
ling magnitude of faces which we
had gathered from the sweepings Of
the newspaper offices, we would
spend our spare time printing.
But Macs actual desire to be a
newspaper man was born with a
tragedy-the murder of President,
and from that day on, his ambition
was fixed and through many at
tempts were made to swerve him,
he steadfastly ploded along goal

July End, 1SS1-Saturday too, at
that, and although we were both
pretty small. the happenings of the
day are as vividly impressed upon
both our minds as if it were yes

lation then of about 10000 and it
was our custom to go up town.
