French House to Be Operated Next Year To Speak Only French at Mai son !rancaise-Conducted By French Department A French house, conducted under the supervision of the department of Rto mance languages of the University is being planned for the session 1926-1937. Rooming and boarding facilities will be provided for the University students and their instructors. To lead in the French social life and management, the department is counting on such instructors as Mademoiselle Jul ienne Mongin and Miss L. V. Knight. Miss Dillard and Miss White are coop erating in the plans. Maison Francaise will be the name of the place, probably the Rembert house, and French will be the language. At tables and at the social hours following meals, opportunity will be given to im prove in speaking the language. It is planned that the chaperones and attend ants will be French women. Though the house will only hold 16, the dining room will hold 30, and this will give co-eds living in town an opp>r tunity to benefit by the arrangement. Preference will be given to students in advanced French, and some previous knowledge of the language will be a 'pre requisite. Any interested should see Prof. Keith, or some of the French instructors.
