tional Association OF Teachers of
Speech, speak more than one lam
guage and have a fundamental
reading knowledge Of English. 1t Is
impossible to meet their demands

ming school classes without discour-
againg the ordinary students for
whom the courses are planned.
Foreseeing an even greater prob

suggested that special classes. quail.

these students. be established in
addition to the citizenship" class
