I remember one time in Eris,' sells. My young brother was with me. The only French he knew was crude, useless stuff like, "Bebe, je Patine" and "Veulez-vous de bully-beef ou des nylons?" In contrast, I had a solid grounding of high school French, and had been living on Add beauty's photo for 'Hall of Fame' De ypu think those separatists in Quehec might shut." up about the whole thing if all the rest of us learned to speak French fluently enough to give them a good missing out in their native 4:gigue? If this is a solution, let's get cracking. But I don't think it can be, accomplished Under our prepent system of learning the language. We are getting great many teachers of French these days who can actually speak the language. But the sys- tem prevents them frpm pass-, ing it along to others. As a Proininent educator said the other day, "We take kids from immigrant families who speak poor Engiisli. We teach them French badly, encourage them to forget their native tongue, whatever it is, and wind UP with youngsters who are illi- terate in three languages." I know from experience. My mother had to go to a French-. speaking school as a child. She learned the language with the ease all children have in grasp- ing a tongue. All her life she could rattle it off like a habi- tant. On the other hand, I studied French for five years in high school and four years in Univer- sity. Nine years. Enough time, you'd think, to learn to speak French backwards. And that is exactly how I speak it. IRVING LODGE NEWS Thursday night the District Deputy Grand Master Rt. Wor, Bro. R. G. Shortreed of Clin- ton, made his official visit to Irving Masonic Lodge 154.
