What Will You Learn?

Naturally the question occurs to you:
''What will learn during such brief
course?" The answer is that these four
thousand pupils are to be taught by the
successful new conversational method
of the Gordon-Detwiler Institute, which
does away with most all unnecessary syn
tax and rules of grammar, and enters i'm
mediately upon direct conversation;
therefore every pupil should (1) master
all of the fundamental rules of the French
language; (2) should master French pro-
nunciation; 90 should acquire French
vocabulary of about three hundred
words; "a should learn about fifty idi-
oms in everyday use; (5) should learn
about one hundred important military
and Red Cross phrases.
