Author's Summary— The recent trend toward more Spanish, especially spoken, fails to reckon cost or value. Basic error is failure to recognize complexity of the problem. Courses should reflect interests and abilities of students, geographical location of school. Emphasis on reading and civilization with some spoken and written work offers highest yield for modest investment, best integrates into a general cultural program.
