Multilingual ldquoWe need to renew our efforts so that every American citizen can become multilingual in

every aspect of the word The more individuals that can speak more than two languages

and understand the cultural variances between languages the more we can become a

country that avoids cultural and linguistic misunderstandings Parents need to teach their

children the importance of embracing and maintaining their own language and culture

while learning additional languages Always remember who you are and where you come

fromrdquo

Escuela Normal de Los Angeles

I expect that I am the last remaining alumnus of the old Spanish Escuela Normal de Los Angeles I attended there in

1863 when I was eleven years of age and was one of the youngest students in the school I was in the school until 1865

The school closed just after I left If any others of those students still are living [1936] they probably are ninety or more

years of age

The Principal of the old school was Sr Juan Manuel Silvas of Concepcion Chile The second in rank was Candido Fraijo of

Spain and the third was Francisco Escanillo from Andalucia Spain Understand theirs was not a church school It was a

tuition school They taught us French Spanish English Italian mathematics and bookkeeping Our parents paid three

hundred dollars a year for our board lodging and instruction

School was held where the southeast corner of Main and Castelar streets are now three or four blocks east of the old

church on the Plaza

Dual Language

ldquoIn our research findings the program with the highest long-term academic success is the

two-way dual language educationrdquo [page 52]

ldquoStudents who receive at least five to six years of dual language schooling in the US reach the 50th

NCEpercentile in English by fifth to eighth grade and maintain that level of performance because

they have not lost any years of schoolingrdquo [page 83]
