yaIue of the study of French,


Very often it is remarked that there
French, and we hear the student who
is struggling over the conjugation of an
irregular verb or who is trying to wade
through a so-called dense translation ex-
claim, We'll, you just bet | wouldn't
bother with this stuff if didn't have to
have the unit for college To regard
the study of French in this light is to
mistake the actual worth of the subject.
Those who do feel this way about
French have absolutely no foundation
upon which to base their belief; they
should stop and think that if there was
no value in studying French, no such
course would be offered either in high
school or in college.
To say the least, French can be made
a most fascinating subject; in addition
to this fact it is often called an art
The French language is without dispute
the most beautiful of all romance Ian
guages. In the pronunciation there is
characteristic ring combined with reso-
nance. which makes it's features very
distinct from the modern languages.
Then, too. when we read French litera
ture there is gentle undercurrent of
thought which, although it cannot be
translated into English words and
phrases, has a very deep and symbolic
significance. How often in reading
French do we meet sub a passage as
this: La langue Franpais est I'M tres
belle langue" (The French language is
a very beautiful language). showing
that the French people universally prize
the beauty and the distinguished tone
of their mother tongue. To be sure. mos
anyone who has studied French at all
can pronounce French words and trans
fully with ease and grace requires skill
There are very few who can do this
One definition of art is that art is any
thing which, if perfectly executed, re-
Quires skill. This proves the point that
French discourse is an art.
In reading French many new ideas
and new lines of thought are found
which aid greatly in the writing of
English compositions French, like
Latin, aids in the understanding of
many English words, since many of the
latter are direct derivations from the
French. Not only is French a help in
the study of English. but in the study of
history, too, for the very best concep-
ton of the French people. their customs.
their ideals, their difficulties, and their
triumphs is obtained, not by merely
reading an English textbook, but by
studying those details in the very Ian
guage of the people Another reason
why the study of French should be en-
Outraged is because of the fact that the
fraternal bonds of hospitality and ALI
ance between the United States and
France are ever becoming stronger and
more steadfast.

est, Bruxelles has been very interest
ingly taken up. The city hall of Brux-
elles is very old, dating from 400. It's
tower is one of the finest ever raised on
Continental Europe. The parliament is
in the center of park and ii is here that
the laws of Belgium are made. The new
Royal Palace, built since 1905. is very
beautiful and is of the period of Louis;
NV. The Park of Bruxelles is noted
for its beauty and for its extent. Here
too, in Bruxelles we find the Palais de
Justice built at an immense cost a YER
liable palace in itself. Here we find the
beautiful old house of the Guilds. in one
of which Victor Hugo once lived.
The next town which was visited by
my correspondent this summer was
Bruges. This town of water streets and
oObblestone pavements is extremely in
teresting. made famous perhaps by the
Belfoir of Bruges, about which we have
Iongfellow's immortal poem. The tower
has 500 bells and the building beneath
it was once guild house.
