The Value and Future of Spanish

WILLIAMS COLLEGE, WilliamZstown, Mass., October 6, 1920. LAWRENCE A. WILKINS, Esq., Board of Education, New York City. MY DEAR SIR: Williams College is trying to get some information as to the quality of the teaching of Spanish in the secondary schools which prepare for college, both public and private, and is desirous of having such information as you may be able to give us by brief answers to the following questions: 1. Where have the teachers of Spanish generally received their preparation to teach Spanish? 2. Do you think that for entrance to college two or three years of Spanish as now taught in the secondary schools is a reasonable substitute for two or three years respectively of French or German? 3. Do you think that interest in the study of Spanish is likely to remain permanent? Very truly yours, ROBERT L. TAYLOR
