MRS. PATRICIA w. EA-
TON, CALIFORNIA feel
very strongly that children
in the elementary grades
should learn one or two for
eign languages since they
are at their most receptive
age during these early years.
They are capable of absorb
ing speech patterns by ear
and acquiring the proper &C
cent which they never lose
and which can form a base
for the advanced studies of
grammar later. The world
today is too small for peo-
pie to be confined to a single
mother tongue, and I feel
that children cannot learn
too young to communicate
in other languages.

MRS. MONIQUE KINGS
LEY, PARIS - Languages
should be taught early. The
world is becoming smaller, SO
distances now are no longer
barriers. Thus, everyone is
bound to meet people from
foreign countries and unless
one starts very young to learn
a language one will be I'M
able to really speak it.

MRS. S. TOURAULT.
FRANCE - Children should
learn other languages be-
cause the United States is
becoming an international
center Of travel and trades Of
all kinds. In Europe, most
educated persons speak and
write correctly at least two
languages and they And even
that insufficient. American
people always have great diff
ficulty expressing themselves
when travelling abroad.

MRS. CHRISTINE LA
BARTHE, GENEVA. swift
ERLAND - l don't think
languages should be taught
in the first two grades.
Learning a language would
be useful only from the third
grade on. because children
have enough problems with
memorizing all other essen
tial branches such as arith-
metic, grammar and so on.
Also, l think it would be
good to put in a program of
good manners and behavior
which seem to be almost for
gotten in many places.

mony to have evolved without
any control is impossible. Let's
put this control into everyday
terms. Let's suppose that there is
no control.
Let's also suppose that Grass

there is no control and if grass
hopper A can do what he wants,
then he will mate with Grasshop-
per. B and they. will produce
grasshoppers c. d. E. f who will
also reproduce and eventually be-
come so numerous that they de-
stroy all the greenery necessary
to produce the oxygen that per-
sons 1, 2, 3 need.

from being born and at the same
time sustaining himself.
So there is control. But can't
see the control and l don't know
what it is made up of. Let's just
call it control for the time being.
Now the control is responsible for
the perfect harmony in existence,
and therefore some innocents are
removed from existence and some
innocents are kept in existence.
At the same time, the "guiltieS"
are kept and removed too.
What about the two theories Of

about? They are acceptable to-
