Medium description: | Maximilian D Berlitz opens his first school in Providence, Rhode Island. "[W]here English, French and German were taught by the new 'direct method', using only native-speaking teachers, no translation and an essentially oral approach in which grammar is implicit, not spelt out in rules" (Haycroft, 1985) [Berlitz states that he joined school then found himself principal of it] | |||
