OFFERS SUMMER
FRENCH COURSE
|coE COLLEGE PLANS SPECIAL
TRAINING FOR TEACHERS.
FRENCH SUBSTITUTED

Cedar Rapids, May 16.-Because OF
the fact that high schools throughout
the country are dropping the study OF
German from their curricula, and sub
stituting French courses, Coe college
here will offer this summer special
training classes for teachers Of the
latter tongue. a
Miss Anna Heyberger, who is con.
sidered one Of the most accomplished
linguists In Iowa, and head OF the
French department of Coe college, will
introduce the course. Two courses
have been planned, the first Of which
will cover preparation for teaching
first year high school French. The
conversation method will be used and
English will be used in the class room
only when an Interpretation Is neces-
sary. Course two will give preparation
for teaching second and third year
high school French and composition
and dictation will be given much atten-
ton. Each week, a lecture on the de.
velopment ef the French literature Will
be given by the instructor.
It Is expected that these timely
courses will meet with wide approval,
due to the fact that students generally,
are taking up French in the place OF
German. These training courses will
provide teachers to fill the vacancies
that ARE sure to occur with the IN
creased demand Of students for the
French language.
