The language has always changed, but the rate of change has been uneven. The most important of these periods occurred during the two hundred and fifty years after 1066, the year the Norman conquered England. Before the conquest, the inhabitants of England spoke Anglo-Saxon, a complex Germanic language. The Normans were Norsemen who, after generations of raiding, had settled in northern France in the tenth century and by 1066 were speaking a form. of French. After their conquest of England they instituted Norman French as the dominant language--the language of the upper classes, of law, of government, and of such commerce as there was.

Have you ever heard of a four-year-old college student? But this is true of Nicholas MacMahon, who is now studying at college because he is too clever for school.
Nicholas spoke well before he was one. At eighteen months he took telephone messages for his parents. At two he began to learn French. The strange thing about Nicholas is that he taught himself to read before he could speak.
His parents knew immediately that he could read. When he could speak, he corrected his spelling. He tried two different schools, but he was bored and unhappy and his parents decided that he couldn't stay there. His parents did not have enough time to prepare special lessons for Nicholas. The MacMahons had no idea what to do with him. Then the West London Institute offered to help. Nicholas spends some of his time there, and also studies at home. He reads newspaper every day, and he can play the violin well. He doesn't have any social life in the school. Nicholas is a clever child and the teachers want to help him in every way.
