For any one who wants to study applied to a spirit: he would find Paychology the constant quest of the expression to "spacy"), The pictures is a handicap.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

The need for British universities to give greater attention to the growing importance of English aś an international language was en- phasized by Mr. A. Lloyd-James, University Reader in Phonetics, School of Oriental Studies in a lec ture he gave at University College on "Speech in the Modern World.",
Sir John Reith, director-general of the British Broadcasting Cor poration, who presided, said the line that the B.B.C. tried to take and be was not sure that this for mulation of policy did not owe its originations to Mr. Lloyd James was that the speech of the an nouncer should be such as would not broke any considerable measure of opposition in any part of the

The B.B.C. had never set out to produce a standard English pro- talk by the mouth of its announcers nunciation. It had only set out to that type of English which might
be described as the common de nominator type acceptable to alt social grades and all geographical classifications. He did not refer to dialects, the preservation of which was of immense importance, but to the ordinary speech of every.. day life.

The technical and scien- tifiq vocabulary of the future in the East and in Africa would be largely English. It was time that the British universities became aware of the fact that English bad become avory familiar fact in the world, and adjusted their ideas accordingly on the subject of English teaching.
