The men who choose these roads to the modern languages are supposed to spend five hours a week in attending the stated meetings of their class; presumably, a serious student would expend two hours a night besides, in preparing of the recitations and in doing the reading; an exceptionally hard worker might devote three hours five times a week to the study of his French or German.
