"I suggested to them also the great desirability……" — Calvin Coolidge

"I suggested to them also the great desirability of a general knowledge on the Island of the English language. They are under an English speakinggovernment and are a part of the territory of an English speaking nation.... While I appreciated the desirability ofmaintaining their grasp on the Spanish language, the beauty of that language and the richness of its literature, that as a practical matter for them it was quite necessary tohave a good comprehension of English."
