Demand For Linguists Is Great
Habla usted español? Parlez-vous français? Well, if you speak any of the Romance languages—French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese—you are in great demand.
Philip Smith, instructor of romance languages, said. "At present I have 140 juniors and seniors majoring in French and Spanish education and when they graduate I will have no problem in getting them placed."
"The demand for skilled linguist is greatest in education, government and business work," Smith said.
IN EDUCATION, all secondary schools are expanding and innovating programs in the romance languages. Elementary schools in Lawrence, Olathe, Kansas City and Topeka are initiating courses in French and Spanish with the aid of trained specialists and television.
Junior and senior high schools are beefing up their programs. They formerly had teachers instructing two or three languages or doubling outside the language area but now have full-time language instructors
"Three-fourths of last year's KU
graduates in French and Spanish education now instruct in junior and senior high schools," Smith said.
IN GOVERNMENT, knowledge of foreign languages is a must for American diplomats. Even if a political worker is not interested in international politics, proficiency in a foreign language increases his versatility in government service.
Many American corporations have business concerns abroad and they are begging for employees with foreign language skills.

Smith said the 1958 National Defense Act has been a principal influence in the strengthening of our foreign language programs. This act emphasized the study of foreign language, science and mathematics as vital for national defense. Since then, millions of dollars have been pumped into summer institutes, fellowships and scholarships for study in these fields.
