BOSTON PRAISED IN CUBA 



"The teaching of Spanish in Boston's High 

 School has made a greater impression in Cuba 

 than anything else that Boston is doing," 

 says Roger W. Babson in a report just re- 

 ceived by the Massachusetts Board of Labor 

 and Industries, which he represents as envoy 

 in Latin America. 



When he was introduced to a gathering of 

 Cuban merchants recently, Mr. Babson, says, 

 one of them said at once, "Boston, that is the 

 city where they teach Spanish in the schools." 

 Mr. Babson adds: "I am becoming more and 

 more certain of the necessity of knowing 

 Spanish in order to do business in Latin 

 America. 



"Tell the young men who wish to become 

 real merchants to learn Spanish. Let us 

 cease to be provincial, learn as well as teach, 

 listen as well as preach. 



"The State Board of Education and the 

 Board of Labor and Industries should unite 

 in a campaign to have Si^anish taught in 

 every high school in Massachusetts, and es- 

 pecially in business colleges and commercial 

 schools. Every boy should be free to sub- 

 stitute Spanish for either French or German 

 if he chooses. The larger cities should adopt 

 this policy at once." — Boston (Mass.) Morn- 

 ing Globe.
