PA4GE FOUlR THE MICHIGAN DAILY Recent Survey Reveals Statistics on'U' Veterans Required Language Study Is Advocated by Prof. Pargment The avetage veteran here is 24% years old, has served 32 months int the armed services and was overseas 26 months. These facts were disclosed by a statistical survey of the 2,093 veter- ans at the University. The survey was made for the Veterans' Service1 Bureau by the Statistical Service of the Registrar's Office. Seventy-one per cent of the 2,0561 male veterans served in the Army, with 21 per cent in the Navy, and 3.5 per cent in the Marines. The remain- ing 4.5 per cent were in the Coast Guard, auxiliary services or with for- eign' armies or navies. Among the 37 women veterans, 51 per cent were in the Army, 27 per cent in the Navy with therother 22 per cent divided among the Marines, Coast Guard and auxiliary services. First lieutenants predominated among the veterans who served in the Army, with privates next most numerous and privates first class third in number. Among the former Student Players Are Wanted by Civic Orchestra Positions for a number of student players are available in the Ann Arbor Civic Orchestra, and students inter- ested are invited to attend the next rehearsal. The group, comprised of approxi- mately 40 players, mainly city resi- dents, is under the direction of Prof. Joseph E. Maddy, professor of radio music instruction. Rehearsals are held Monday evenings 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., at the city high school, State and Washington Sts. Some enlargement of instrumenta- tion is planned for the rest of the season, and several public perform- ances will be given. These include the Civic Music Night, February 14, and participation in the all-state Massed Orchestra Festival at East Lansing, April 7.- Rehearsal date will be announced later. Navy personnel, ordinary seamen top the list by a wide margin, followed by lieutenants, junior grade. Among the Marine veterans, pri- vates first class dominate the group. The ex-Coast Guardsmen are the same as the Navy men since most of them served as ordinary seamen. A surprising item disclosed by the survey is that 305 veterans are paying their own tuition.

Because their educators and governments are of the opinion that his study poessesses very high edu- ational and practical values both for he individual and the nation. Q. What is the attitude of Amer- ican leaders toward this all-impor- tant subject? A. Many prominent men and wom- en, leaders in many walks of life, have come to recognize the impor- ance of giving high school and col- ege students a real command of at east one foreign language for prac- ical, social and cultural reasons. I have here many quotations from statements made by some of them to that effect. It would take much space to publish them all in complete form. Here are a few lines from some of them- Wendell L. Willkie: "The study of foreign lan- guages has always been reward- ing to the student, but today more than ever before, we see evidence of the very real and practical benefits to be gained by a knowledge ' of them." Nicholas Murray Butler: "The barrier of language has long been one of the chief obsta- cles to better international un- derstanding and closer interna- tional cooperation. That barrier should be broken down as speed- ily as may be possible." G. F. Zook, President, American Council on Education: "It seems perfectly evident to me that the passing of the isola- tion of the United States will quite naturally make it more and more desirable for an increasing proportion of our population to become acquainted with one or more foreign languages in the or- dinary conduct of their voca- tional interests." Harry E. Fosdick: "I should simply remark that anyone who cannot see the im- portance of foreign language study in America now must be stark blind to the realities of an obvious situation." Q. Are there, or will there soon be, many opportunities for Ameri- can graduates to use their knowl- edge of foreign languages in di- rect intercourse with foreigners? A. Right now many American of- fices of all kinds are in correspon- dence with their foreign counter- parts, thousands of young American men and women are working side by side with foreigners in a score of countries, numerous American planes are landing our citizens in the re- motest corners of the globe. But this is nothing as compared with what is coming. This follows from the in- evitable growth of international rela- tionships in the post-war world. Through improved means of trans- portation and communications, the world distances are shrinking very fast. Countries only recently far distant are fast becoming our neigh- bors. Our relations with them, diplo- matic, military, economic, social, and intellectual will soon surpass any- thing that we have ever experienced or even imagined. For these relations to be beneficial, we shall need experts in many fields who can read, write, understand and speak a language other than English. We shall do well also to bear in mind that the time is nearly over when a foreign language can be used only in a foreign country. Soon there will be in this country, on business or on visit, as many foreign- ers as there ever were ;iW any Euro- pean country. We shall want not only to transact business with them, but also to exchange ideas freely with them. Let me quote from two prominent American business men: Juan Trippe, President, Pan Ameri- can Airway System: "After the war the new era of expanded world trade in the new Age of Flight will offer limitless opportunities to American youth for careers in business, in Gov- ernment, in international trans- port, both air and sea. Our young men and women would be well- advised to begin as soon as possi- ble to acquire complete knowl- edge of the foreign languages which will be the "open sesame" for them in whatever sphere they choose for their own world career-the new era that lies just beyond the peace." D. S. Jeilehart, President, Giace Line hinc.: "We are likely after this war to face' a very keen international competition in world markets. To meet this competition more effectively, it is essential that the knowledge of foreign languages shall become no less general in the United States than it is in the countries with which we will have to compete:" Q. Do you believe that foreign languages should be made a com- pulsory subject of study in college? A. There is no question whatever in ny mind that at least two years of language should be made compulsory, not only in college, but also in every secondary school that has a compe- tent teacher to teach them. There are at least two good rea- sons for this position: 1. Because of the lack of esteem in which for- eign languages have been held by many American educators, most American students do not realize how valuable they really are to. themselves and to their country; 2. Because the philosophy and practice that prevail in our high schools have favored painless edu- cation, many students, who have not acquired the habit of concen- trated and sustained effort, avoid foreign languages, a successful study of which calls for both.
