Mr. President. one of the most successful programs of bilingual education has been that practiced by the Coral Way Elementary School in Dade County. Fla. This school district. because of the large number of Cuban refugees. was faced with the same problem that many of our Southwestern States face. The school population contained a large proportion of Spanishspeaking students. In a real exhibition of educational innovation. the entire school was transformed into a model school of bilingual education. with very successful results. Not only has the students learning ability been enhanced. but also by the sixth grade. both formerly Englishspeaking and Spanishspeaking children. are fluent in both languages.
