Take English
There are eleven Latin-American
doctors now enrolled here in the Latin
American Institute taking courses in
English. .
This is the fifth year that, English
courses for . Latin-Americans have
been held here, the first being in 1941
when the enrollment was 108. The
Latin-Americans in 1941 were of all
professions and their expenses were
paid by Latin-American governments,
various organizations, and by them
selves. This method continued in 1942
when only 11 were enrolled due to
Pearl Harbor and in 1943 when the
Institute was for Mexican teachers of
English.
For the first time in 1944 the Insti

whose expenses were paid by the Com

to teach the doctors enough English
so that they can take special medical
courses of one year in American
