is obligatory for applicants in from j five to twenty-five daily advertise-' ments, while, other qualifications j being equal, the.ability to speak both! languages will often be the deciding factor in securing the position desired.Such being the circumstances, why do our young people not become bilingual while attending our Protestant schools?In the last analysis, the blame must be placed primarily on the parents of such pupils who, by reason of heavy taxes, high school fees and constantly changing and inordinately expensive text books, can be truthfully said to be \u201cpaying the piper,\u201d which proverbially gives the right \"to call the tune.\u201d Bilingualism can be achieved and is being achieved in other countries, where the determination to achieve it is strong enough, and it could be in French Quebec if parents would take an interest in school board elections, which are rather mysterious affairs without publicity in most cases.Could not a pledge be exacted from every member of a school-board to make it incumbent on French specialists, either to produce bilingual pupils or hand in their resignations?Knowing all about the irregular verbs is very well, but being able to converse in good Canadian French \u201ccomme nous autres\u201d will be of far more practical value.The alleged reason for present conditions is that the curriculum does not allow enough time to do the subject justice.The obvious answer to that is, then, change the curriculum, which should be a fluid utility and not like the laws of the Medes and Persians, unalterable.As the Harvard Professor said, at the recent Teachers\u2019 Convention\u2014\u201ca curriculum should be adapted to the needs of the pupils and the society they are living in.\u201d Well said, Professor!!
