When 43 children passed into, the higher grade school at Kolding, m Denmark, not long ago, all but three wished to learn English. It seems that in Czechoslovakia also there is the same eagerness to master our language in preference to any other except their own. Many of the children in schools are learning German for business purposes, but many are learning English in their spare time, and parents are clamouring for English to be taught in all the schools.
