ALMOST 1900 MEN
STUDYING FRENCH
Despite Handicap, Professor
Foster Interests Many Officers
and Men in Studying Language

Although there have been many handi-
caps Prof. Foster, who has supervised the
instruction of French for the Y. NJ. c. A.
at Camp Hancock. reports about 1900 Of
ficers and men in classes. with more than
fifty men in normal classes.
Many men are Indifferent to the in~
ToTtance OF knowing the French language
and are unwilling to set aside their leis-
ure time for the work. There is nothing
compulsory about the study and with the
recent reorganization, which upset the
preliminary plans of Prof. Foster there
have been many drawbacks in the work of
organizing the classes.
The English French handbook issued by
the National Security League has been
used almost exclusively. although many
manuals of the called Detwiler method
have been sold to the students, Ten class
es have been organized among the Off
GERS. including about 800 men. Among
the enlisted men, 1000 have enrolled at
various times but the total officers and
men at the present time is a trifle more
than I500. Normal classes have been
organized in fotr units and in addition.
several Z. n c. 4. secretaries have been
taking instruction under Prof Fosters
direction.
