MacLeod thought there ttmlld be a great deal more of We Gaelic spoken if parents would only remember that their .m1clrEl”l can lose it if they have ,0 (lllIllCe to converse with others.

He said it was being taught now ; lire schools in Nova Sootla but yrliclcs the only real progress will nnlc when the teaching reaches tllnvrrslty level.
