Today’s entrepreneurs

Letter to the Editor

Encourages Any Language

Dear Sir:

Personally, I cannot see
the argument, debate, or even
the relevance of the questlon-
naire sent home by the school
board on the value or necessity
of the Russian language being
taught in the local schools.

As an English-speaking
Canadian, with no Russtan
ancestry, I can see only g
In the opportunity my children
will have exposed to another
language.

Surely, with the shrinking
of the expance of the world,
where in a matter of hours one
can be transported from Castle-
gar to Russia, Sweden, South
America ete., it seems to me to
be the most inexcusable lack of
integrity if we pass up the
marvellous opportunity we
have, in this little B.C, interior

Very few places in Canada
have such a natural source of
teachers for the Russian lan-

In the future, I would hope
that the Portuguese language
could also be added, so the
children of this heritage, as well
as others, could have the
opportunity to learn the lan-
