Confederate Short Stories Are Honored Honors are coming thick and fast to Frances Gray Patton, one of the authors represented in the University of South Carolina Press' recent publication, "New Confederate Short Stories." Hard on the heels of the an nouncement that Mrs. Patton's new novel, "Good Morning, Miss Dove," has been purchased by the movies and selected by the Book of the Month Club, comes the news that one of her stories has been included among "The Best Amer ican Short Stories of 1954," an annual pubflcation edited by Martha Foley. Mrs. Patton, who lives in Dur ham, N. C., is well known in South Carolina. Married to Dr. Lewis Patton of Greenville and Duke University, she is also a cousin of Katharine M. Jones, of Green ville, who edited "New Confederate Short Stories" for the Press. She is a frequent vacationer at Paw ley's Island, one of South Caro lina's favorite beach resorts. South Carolinians will remem ber with pleasure Mrs. Patton's part in the Coker College Liter ary Fstival of 1952. On this oc casion she discussed the technique of writing the modern short story, demonstrating her talk by reading one of her own stories and telling the audience why she wrote it as she did. Mrs. Patton's contribution to "New Confederate Short Stories" was deliberately chosen as a fit ting one to end the volume. Originally publishxl in "The New Yorker" magazine, this story, en titled "Let It Rest," tells of a near renewal of the War Between the States by two Southern wo men and a friend from the North. In resolving this situation, Mrs. Patton shows that people of con flicting Rebel and Yankee origins can rnaintain friendship by res pecting traditional loyalties rather than by discarding them. In the opinion of the Press, it is one of the finest stories that Mrs. Patton has penned.

Stephan, head of the department of foreign languages at the university, has published his second edition of Foreign Language News, a 10 page mimeographed document. The first edition was printed last year. "Our purpose in publishing this document is to disseminate perti nent information about foreign languages to language teachers throughout the state," Prof. Stephan said. Five hundred copies are being sent out to teachers in this state and to interested people in every state of the union, he added. Prof. Stephan is state represen tative of the Modern Languages Association. This group has re ceived two grants from the Rocke feller Foundation to do research and study on the role "which for eign languages and literatures should play in American life." The current issue of Prof. Stephan's Foreign Language News has a "Chat with our Readers" in which the editor tells of services of the university available to lan guage teachers; quotations on th( value of knowing foreign lan guages from American business political, literary and educationa leaders; current trends in teach ing methods; and a request for ex change of ideas.

South Carolina is one of -only five states that (oes not teach foreign languages in any of its public schools, he added. Prof. Stephan, incidentally, teaches French in the elementary grades at a parochial school in Columbia, and he believes this. to be the only elementary school in the state that teaches a foreign language. Foreign Language News also lists figures that show an increase in language enrollment at USC with 9.8 per cent of the students enrolled in fall of 1952, 11.9 per cent id 1953 and 17.2 per cent this semester. The final page of the document is a bibliography on books that deal with teaching of languages. Attached to the back page is a questionnaiie that teachers are requested to fill out and mail back to Prof. Stephan.
