UNDISPUTED VALUE OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES. No one to-day disputes the desirability of acquiring command of a foreign language, and but very few dispute the actual necessity of the acquisition as a commercial or social asset or both. But the old-fashioned method of passing through a period of drudgery with a mentor has been a stumbling block to thousands who otherwise' would desire to gain the knowledge, provided that knowledge included perfect pronunciation. The era of “cramming” is past, the day of poor French unintelligibly spoken has gone, for by the Linguaphone Method you can learn any one of ten modern foreign languages in three months without a teacher of any sort, in the comfort of your own home (simultaneously with the whole of your family if you so desire) and at a cost very considerably less than the t ual tutors' fees, and you will read, writ# and speak that language with perfect eorrectitude and pronunciation. If a language is worth writing at all it is worth speaking well, and the Linguaphone Method cannot fail to give you the ability to do so rapidly, efficiently, and economically. 'Phone 4386, or write or call for a Free Demonstration in your house or at the Bureau any week day between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. The Linguaphone Institute, 161, Hereford Street (opposite the Union Steamship Company’s Building), Christchurch. 7801
