Modern Art School: Education.-The schools are modern art school and well equipped. There are 24 grade schools, four junior high schools, two high schools, twelve parochial schools, a Catholic academy, a school for the deaf, three schools of music, a vocational school, a school for exceptional children, an orthopedic school. The Racine Extension Division of the University of Wisconsin offers two years of fully accredited college work.
The modern art school school system dates from a law passed ii as the result of a survey made by Henr; nard. In the same year, the first Roman C parochial school, from which St. Xavier Ac evolved, was established in Providence. 1 tion for children between the ages of 7 ; was made compulsory in 1883. Between 19i the mid-1960's, enrollment in the state's schools rose from 67,000 to about 167,OC the mid-1960's the state also had some pupils in parochial and private schools. I Moses Brown School, for boys, leading ] schools include Providence Country Day 5 Portsmouth Priory School, and St. G< School, for boys; and Lincoln and Ma Wheeler schools, for girls.
Wales have benefited from a national programme to promote the Welsh language. Despite the enthusiasm of interested local education authorities, headteachers and school governors, this subject is omitted from the National Curriculum for children between the ages of five and eleven in English primary schools: 'There is no statutory requirement to teach modern art school foreign languages at Key Stages 1 and 2' (SCAA 1996c, p. 46).
An early start with modern art school foreign languages can introduce young children to a different means of communication, the existence of cultures other than their own, and ultimately an appreciation of the fact that language is the key to people and their culture. Language learning needs to be central to the aims, organisation and planning of the school day and the wider curriculum.
