A story that I read when I was very young left a deep impression on me. It was called “The Last French Lesson”, and was written, I think, by Anatole France. That part of France in which the author lived had been ceded to Germany, and lessons were . thenceforth to be taught in the German language. The story gave, with a marvelous flavor of nostalgia, a recitation of the opportunities the author had missed while his beloved French had been spoken in the school.
