A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.
“In fifty years’ time the majority if the people of the world will speak English.” That is a large claim ; but : t has been made at the London Vacation Course in Education ; and it may lie presumed that a majority of per;ons now alive will not see it either substantiated or rejected. Almost every language has a grace of its own, ’owever, am 1 to ours belong so many graces that more than one great master of prose has chosen it in preference to all the rest. And since this is so, the rather Jhorrid prospect of a universal language, even if that were English, becomes irrelevant and negligible.—“ Morning Post.”
