FRENCH.

The courses deal with language. Students are carried to the point
where a study of French literature may begin. Pronunciation and
the ability to understand easy spoken French are held to be quite as
essential as the knowledge of forms. In both courses, the student
will not be considered as having mastered a form (either word, or
phrase), until he has learned to recognize the form by sound and is
able to reproduce the sound.
