Excerpt from The Wellesley Prelude, Vol. 3: April 16, 1892 Another point in which we should do well to follow our transatlantic neighbors is in the study of our own language. The study of French is of the first importance to the French pupil. Grammar and composition are taught with a thoroughness which puts to shame the childish English Language Lessons with which we are satisfied. The work in literature is similar to ours and after a careful study of modern French follows a course in Provencal and Old French. Then a course in Latin is thrown open to those who wish to elect it. This marks again the wide difference between the two systems. In the preparatory school. We give one or two terms to English composi tion and tlzree or four years to Latin and Greek, while the French student elects Latin only after a long training in her own language, and the primary object in electing it, is to trace the formation and development of the French tongue.
