THE SPANISH CLUB
A plea is made by a correspondent'for support of the Spanish' Club, which" has been established to aid study of tho Spanish language. "The Spanish-speaking lands of Central and South America, where live our nearest white non-English-speak-ing neighbours, are great : potential new markets for this Dominion, and the key to' them is a knowledge of Spanish. Commercially the third most important of the woi'ld's great business languages-*-second only to English and German—Spanish is probably the most useful of all foreign languages for New Zealanders to learn, and it certainly is the easiest. Apart from its commercial value, few languages have a richer literature more worthy of study. "Don Quixote d« la Mancha, written by the immortal Cervantes, to mention but one example, v recognised as one of the world's' grettstt classics. In oiir own day the works of the-late Senor Ibanez have become world-famous, and deservedly so."
