MODERN LANGUAGES IN OUR SCHOOLS.
To the Eiitor. Sir, —Allow me to introduce myself as a member of the far-famed and most distinguished academy, "Be la Sardine a l'Huile " of the no-less renowned city of Conearnea, and to state that, in that capacity, it may be admitted that I know something of the French language and especially of the French Grammar. Well, sir, will it not seem strange to you that of the two gentlemen who are contending about the supremacy in the knowledge of the French tongue, neither is a Frenchman? Such being the case, I would suggest that those two gentlemen should submit themselves to a searching examination into their respective knowledge, —for instance, by means of dictation or composition and that the result of such examination should appear in print.—l am, &c, ACADEMICIBS. Dunedin, September 14.
