Wednesday, December 31, 1913 E OUHMEMEIIT TO STUDY ABROAD .'rofessor Snow Urges That Expenses of Teachers Be Paid Abroad. "Cities should grant leave with half pay to modern language teachers who will goalie expense of study abroad," declares William B. .Snow of the Bos ton English high school, in a bulletin Just Issued by the United States bu reau of education, On the whole Dr. Snow thinks modern language Instruc tion In our best schools is as rood as that abroad, In proportion to the time allowed. "We need more good teachers and an opportunity for se lected pupils to begin the study of a ,'orelgn language under competent In itruction in the grades. The colleges ihould give special attention to pre paring teachers of modern languages." In speaking of the various methods nf language Instruction, each with Its ardent advocates. Mr. Snow says the reason the discussion waxes so warm is that all (lie m nth (His have som sood features; that nearly everything depends on the teacher. "The worst of a dozen methods, employed by a strong teacher with underlying purpose well In 'mind,'-will give a more valuable training and better results than any method when employed by an Inferior teacher. , . ' "It Is probable, too. that one meth od is better than another for doing noma things, by less effective In se curing a different end. so that the aim which seems most important will determine tho method to be used In n particular case. Instead of trying to lay out In detail the 'best method we should consider various methods that have been found good, endeavor to see wherein' their merit lies, and decides what method seems especially well-suited to various conditions and to different types of classes or teach On the question of whether conver sation or translation should be empha sized in teaching modern languages, i)n me question or whether con versatlon or , translation should be emphasized in teaching, mod em languages, Mr. Snow Insists '.hat both demand teaching of :he very highest type to be effective that both are valuable. "Translation lias lis warm friends and its bitter enemies. Reformers have worked as hard to drive it out of the class as Ihey have to drag conversation In The difficulty Is that the meat In the sandwich has a tendency to drop out and leave only the bare bread; trans latiou comes to be a mechanical huIi Htltutlon of the words nf one language for the words of another with little or no thought in the process, while, translation ought to mean the study nf a passage until its thought In clear ly apprehended, and then an effort to put that exact thought Into the other language with all the force and beauty that our command of the second Ian guage makes possible," - , : POLICE COURT Milliard Blair, charged with carry ing a concealed weapon, , drew the largest line In Police court this morn ing, when he got $25 and the costs.
