Supports Teaching of Russian

Dear Slr:

Rogarding the question-
nalre on Russian classes’ pub-
lished in Feb, 20th issue of the
Paper.

las a taxpayer, whole:
heartedly support that Russian
language classes ‘should’. be
taught in our public schools as a
third language—French, Eng-
lish’and Russfan.

I want my children to be

able to communicate with other.
people when they grow up.
Let's face it, at, present there
‘are many people with different.
languages and backgrounds in
Canada. There’ are French,
German, Hatenr| Ukrainian, Po-

lish, English ete.

Many times, it becomes
hard to communteate and un-
derstand | person, with a

‘different language, especially in

the Kootenay area where there

are many: Russian-speak-

Ing people, ‘
Wouldn't it be practical to

havea Russian language taught

here in schools, 80 there would

be better communtcation and
inderaenging, between the
people, *

(As an. old saying goes,
“whatever good you learn when
you are young, you don't have
it on your shoulders

the reat of your life.”)
I think the School District
No, 9 board ‘should approach

the department of education for, .

help in implementing’ the Rus-
stan language in the schools
before approaching the local
taxpayers. 4
