TALKS ON LANGUAGES

The address given by Prof.
Geo. H. Ellingson of the st. Olaf
College, Mortified, before the
parent-teachers meeting Friday
evening on the origin of all Ian
guages and the development Of
the English language was an in
teresting and instructive one.
However, in order to cover the
subject more thoroughly it would
require a continued lecture of
several evenings duration and
Mr.. Ellingson was therefore ne
cessarily obliged to cover only
the principal points in his hours
talk.
Some of the points covered
were the conquering of England
by the Anglo-Saxons in 449 b. c..
when the original settlers went
to Scotland and Ireland. From
that time on English developed
and was influenced by the Vi
kings in the ninth and tenth CEN
turtles. Later the Normands, a
group of Norwegians who had
settled in France and hence ac-
CURED much of the French Ian
guage. came to England. This
accounts for many French words
in the English language. Many
of the ordinary words in common
usage in the English language
originate from Scandinavia.
A short musical program was
also given Friday evening.
