Words From Many Languages
Enrich Western Vocabulary
BY GRORGE MARsH

Montanans use such words as
prairie" hike" butte" "coulee," and
'cayuse" almost every day Of their
lives, but few Of them realize how such
words came to be part of their vocab-
ulary. Such words as the foregoing
we're not originally English, and came
into our speech as loan-words from
dozens of foreign tongues. America has
been the melting pot" for every race
on the face Of the globe, and In no
way Is this better shown than by the
speech of western people
Prom the Spanish, French, Indians,
Irish, Italians, Chinese, German and
many other languages, came the
"westernisns" which give the speech
Of Montanans its characteristic color.

Education Association and the in
quiry staff of the Board of Regents of
the University of the State Of New
York, several of them aided by grants
from the General Education Board
of the Rockefeller Foundation, have
been taking stock of the situation.
Their reports, plus the likelihood
of some continuing form of mill
tary training for the youth over a
considerable number OF years, will in
all probability result in the near
future in an effort on the part of
school authorities to make the high
school years of our young people
richer in preparation for the actu-

When proposed changes become
reality, the Boston Latin School
with its influence on the high school

will thereby have come forth from
its swaddling clothes of the CEN

expression of democracy training
in youth for the needs of a better
