Abstract
I WAS somewhat surprised to read in NATURE of October 3 a vigorous attack upon the Government Committee on Modern Languages on the ground of its having considered nothing but the interests of trade and diplomacy. I trust this will not deter your readers from examining what is generally considered to be a most valuable report. It is certainly a document which has met with the general approval of modern language teachers and others interested in the subject with which it deals. Against the charge made I may point out that of the nine pages of the section entitled “The Value of Modern Studies,” nearly three are devoted to the higher aspects of the subject, while the section on the aims of language teaching in schools begins with the sentence, “Language teaching has, and should have, a disciplinary and educative aim,” and the treatment of the subject is based on this text.
