And. on the other hand. our school systems provide for the education of our schoolchildren in foreign languages. And even then. there is a question as to whether the foreign language studies are adequate enough. What a waste. then. it seems to discourage the development of a second or third language of immigrants and of young children who have been fortunate enough to learn a language other than English. How much better it would be if we had an active and enthusiastic policy pervasive in our society to encourage foreign language development. and to effectively use the foreign language resources which we are squelching or letting wither away by not tapping its .source. Despite the fact that this country is rich with diverse peoples and cultures. to date there is no agency or branch of Government in charge of a fullscale incentive program to encourage social. educational. and political associations. educational institutions. and educational systems at the State and local level to develop programs to preserve foreign language resources.
