Spanish urged as essential in schools by former Tennessee governor
Former Gov. Benton McMillin, now Peru’s minister to the U S, argues Spanish is the most universal foreign language and should be taught in all higher grades. He notes 20 South and Central American republics speak Spanish, Peru’s trade with the U S is warm, and after the war the U S could monopolize much South American trade. Peru’s balance of trade favors exports, with higher domestic sales amid import restrictions.
