Breakfast Bickering
Can Cause Accidents

Does a farm accident begin at
breakfast?
1T can," warns County Agent
George K. vapaa, IF there's lack
of harmony at the breakfast ta-
Bile"
1.-The attitude the farmer has
when he goes out to run a lot of
complicated machinery" says Mr..
Vapaa, lis extremely important.
If his wife or children upset him
at breakfast, he's much more like
ly to have an accident than if he
leaves the table in a good frame
of mind
Its just a theory, but we think
how a farmer feels at breakfast
has a lot to do with how safe he
stays throughout the day"
It's not only nagging wife al
the breakfast table that can drive
man to an accident Burnt toast
bad weather or a sleepless night
can have the same disastrous eff
feet. Anything that causes farm
er to concentrate less on the work
at hand is to- be avoided, if at all
possible" Mr.. Vapaa said.

study was financed by the
Carnegie Corp.
The Importance of foreign
languages to our national well
fare was recognized by the Fed
eral Government. Under the
National Defense Education
Act of 1858, money has been
allotted for the improvement of
foreign language instruction. A
number of summer institutes
are being held to bring teachers
up to date and to improve their
language skillS.
In his report on the Ameri-
can high school, DR.. James B.
Conant recommended that four
high school years of foreign
language are an essential part
of the academic program. Some
schools have adopted his pro-
posal. Others have installed
language Laboratories and mod
ern audio-viSual aids.
But the basic pattern re-
mains unchanged. Most stu
dents start their language
course in the first or second
year of high school. Some may
take a three-two sequence
three years of one language and
two of another. Others take two
years each of two languages.
This is of very little value"
educators claim. "A student has
a smattering of two languages,
but cannot understand either"
Early Opportunity
The National Education AS
sociation report proposes far
reaching, basic reforms. Not
later than the third grade, it
says, all children should have
the opportunity to listen to
anq to speak a second language.
Among other suggestions: A
lO-year. one-language sequence
from third grade through the
18th. During the 10th grade
the student would be required
to take a second language,
either Latin or a modern, Ian
guage. The report also proposes
a 6Syear sequence, to begin at
grade seven, and be scheduled
at least 8 days a week for a
regular class period. A third
proposal is the 4-year program
available for all students. By
the end of the 18th grade,
the students would have had
either 10, 6 or 4 years of one
language, and two or three
years of another.
Under the present teaching
Evening star., 1960-06-19

method, students end their high
school or college careers unable
to communicate in their second
or third languages. They may
be able, jokingly, to order coffee
or pizza in French or Italian,
but soon after graduation they
forget even that much.
Elementary Curriculum
Why study a language If it
is not mastered enough to
prove of value. educators ask.
There has been a recent trend
toward introduction of foreign
languages in the elementary
grades. Approximately 100000
boys and girls get some kind
of language work in the pri-
mary classes. But this is done
on a hit-and-miss. haphazard
basis. 1t is usually not a reg
ular or recognized part Of the
school program.
The reform proposed by the
NEA Committee would place
foreign language into the ele-
mentary school curriculum. II
would add the "L"-for Ian
guage-to the three basic
"R's"-reading, writing and
arithmetic.
The drop-out rate among
students who take foreign Ian
guages is probably only sur
passed by mathematics stu
dents. This could be reduced
through a different teaching
approach. The report urges
that instead of the emphasis
on grammar-translation, en-
phaSis should be placed on lis
tening, comprehension, speak
ing, reading and writing.
Basic Objectives
These objectives are listed:
/. The student should un-
derstand the foreign languages
as spoken by native speakers in
situations similar to his own
experience.
2. He should speak the Ian
guage in everyday situations
with reasonable f1uency and

LATIN STUDY STILL HIGH
WITH u. S. SCHOOL EXPERTS
BY North American Newspaper Alliance

Latin and Greek have received pats on the back
by educators who studied the Importance of foreign
languages in school program.
Finance by Carnegie Corp, the study made
by the National Education Association and the Modern
Language Association of America The educators urge
that Latin be vigorously promoted second language
in high schools. They also recommend ancient
Greek, Hebrew classical Arabic Chinese and Sanskrit
But they their special praise for Latin They
remind students that Latin is the parent language of
French Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. 1t also has,
with Greek, furnished nearly the whole of English
intellectual vocabulary Its literature is the key to many
basic concepts that have modified to create our
modern political esthetic and intellectual life.
I'VE view the decline of Latin in American education
as unfortunate result of radical and shortsghed
efforts to odernize' the curriculum and make education
practical" the report says.

teaching of foreign languages
from elementary grades through
high school. Among them were
these three significant reforms:
l. Gifted students should
start a foreign language course
in the third grade and con-
tinue with it for 10 years, or
until they finish high school.
2. The common practice of
taking a foreign language for
two years should be discon-
tinued. All college-bound STU
dents would be required to
take at leasts one language for
four years.
3. New teaching methods
should be introduced, with the
emphasis on hearing. speaking,
reading and writing, rather
, than on grammar translation.
OF Concern for Years
For several years, educa-
tional spokeSmen have been
concerned over foreign Ian
guage teaching in this country.
Few Americans can use a Sec
ond language effectively. They
are at a disadvantage when
they travel abroad, as they
are doing in greater numbers
each year. Our statesmen and
ambassadors often cannot talk
the language of the country
to which they are assigned.
Importance Recognized
A 69-page report. outlining
the new approach to foreign
languages, was issued this week
end by the National Education
Association project on the
academically talented student
and the Modern Language AS
sociation of America. The
