POSTS IN FRANCE FOR BRITISH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE n SPECTATOR.'] SIE,—Will you kindly allow space in your columns for the announcement of newly created situations in the French national secondary schools (lycees) for British students and teachers ? The Minister of Public Instruction in France has authorised the head-masters of a few lycees to receive an assistant teacher of English whose duties will be to give for two hours a day English conversation lessons to small groups of pupils. In return for his services, the assistant teacher, of British nationality, will receive free board and lodging, and will be allowed to attend any of the classes held at the lyce, such as rhetoric and French literature, advanced classics, higher mathematics, history, philosophy, &c. He will take his meals with the other French residing master, and will have a room for himself. The advantages of such a situation during an academical year are obvious. It is an excellent opportunity offered to students and teachers to acquire a thorough know- ledge of the French language, and to observe the methods in teaching the various subjects of the curriculum in France! Candidates must have a good pronunciation when speaking English, and it is not necessary for them to be able to speak French. They must be graduates of some British University, or possess some other academic recognition of their previous studies. The appointments will barnacle at an early date, and applications should be sent witl oat delay to the undersigned.
Professeur de l'Universite de France. French Language and Literature Department, Glasgow University.
