our educational institutions OF today
with the results that students, even
after long years OF laborious study,
fail Of that mastery Of the language
which modern conditions demand
more and more. Not only this. but
students are practically obliged to
devote a very large proportion Of
their time available for language
study in the study Of languages
from which the great majority Of
them will derive little or no practi-
cal benefit"
Our higher institutions OF in
structiOn are confronted with respon-
sibilities which should be met
promptly and effectively. A proper
readjustment Of provisions for for
eign language instruction with obvi-
Gus and necessary reforms Will prove
an important step in this direction.
Courses in history, geography, liter
allure, government, and institutions
also need readjustment: but in the
case OF language courses the need is
immediate and imperative"
