IMPETUS GIVEN TO
SPANISH TONGUE
Increased Desire to Acquire
Language Grows as Canal
Nears Completion.

The EngIish-speaking countries of
the Western Hemisphere contain
about 101 900. 900 inhabitants. The
Spanish-speaking American countries
have a combined population of about
100000.
Recognition of the great desirability
of closer union among the American
nations came to the people of the
United States after the Spanish war,
and with the recognition came =
demand for instruction in the Spanish
language. Where French and Ger
man had been considered the only
modern languages essential to a
finished education Spanish now as
stunned an almost equally high rating,
SAYS the Plain Dealer.
Now the impending completion OF
the Panama canal has given a new
impetus to the Spanish movement in
North American educational institu-
tons. Not only the colleges but also
the preparatory schools are hearing
the call and some cities have re-
sponded by making Spanish part
of the public high school course.
Spanish Is a language of considera-
BILE beauty and of remarkable regu-
larity, much easier to acquire than
either German or French. Its gram
mar and pronunciation follow fixed
rules and present few troublesome
complications. As mental training
Spanish is equal to either German
and French. as a literary language 1t
is only slightly inferior, and as a
language for practical use by Ameri-
cans it ranks above its more respect
ed rivals.
The Importance of familiarity with
the Spanish tongue is clear to one
who considers the great number of
Americans who speak only Spanish
Meeting the South Americans on
their own ground is the first step
toward bringing about the desired
closer commercial relationship of
North and South, but speaking to
them in their own language is a sec
ond and scarcely less desirable adj
vance.
incidentally, it should be remem-
bered that the more than 20,000,000
inhabitants of Brazil, the second
greatest American republic, are not
reckoned in the total of Spanish
Americans. Brazil Is a Portuguese
speaking country. At present the
study of Portuguese is almost I'M
known in the United States. and it Is
not without reason that Pan-Ameri-
can enthusiasts are urging that 1t be
made an elective study in our col
leges and possibly in some of the
preparatory schools. In Brazil, as in
the Spanish speaking countries, Ger
man commercial interests have large
~ crowded out United States bust
ness. A knowledge of Portuguese will
be an asset of large value to those
who are contemplating the reclama-
ton of the Brazilian field.
