A comprehensive treatment of the teaching of Ukrainian might well begin with the statement that there are approximately two hundred schools in the United States devoted almost exclusively to this project. In addition there are many schools in which Ukrainian is merely another subject of study. The latter group consists of grammar schools, high schools, and institutions of higher learning.
Although the number of pupils in some of these schools is comparatively small (in some cases less than fifty), and sometimes the whole school is staffed with only one teacher, there is nevertheless an active interest in their promotion, and their attainments are most gratifying. The results are certain — the Ukrainian language is being learned even in obviously pauperized schools by the most direct methods. The children learn to speak Ukrainian; they learn to read and to write the language, and they often delve deeply into literature, history, and the arts.
