These figures reflect a trend which has developed over the past 3-4 years.
For example, in FY 1955 the distribution was
students to Georgetown.
andn to the Foreign Service Institute. Generally speaking. we now use
Georgetown largely for part-time after-hours instruction in languages which
happen not to be covered at a given time in our own out-of-hours program;
end very occasionally on a contract basis for some unusual requirement.
Our use of the Foreign Service Institute is generally for full-time training
assignments.
(2) We find the instruction furnished at the Foreign Service Institute in
the various languages to be good. FSI pioneered in Government the modern
methods of language teaching, combining use of scientific linguists, native-
speaking informants or drill.masters, and audio equipment. Their courses
are sound, are well adapted to the needs of the average student, and our
cooperative relationships with MU are quite satisfactory.
