- W1998155209 abstract "O PPOSITION to the study of foreign languages in our public schools has increased in intensity during recent months. This opposition has come to a large extent from public school administrators. The Office of Admissions of the University of California has been deluged with letters from high school principals, protesting against the two-year foreign language admission requirement to the state university. The state colleges of California have very nearly eliminated foreign languages as a requirement for the A.B. degree in those institutions.

The favorable attitude of the general public is evident from the increased enrollments in night school adult classes in foreign languages, the popularity of foreign language study groups in women's clubs throughout the country, the tremendous popularity of lessons in Spanish printed in the Los Angeles Examiner during the summer of 19411 and numerous other such manifestations of public interest in foreign language study. A question that has remained unanswered is what is the" @default.
