May the blessing of the Newborn Child bring peace and hope into our hearts. THE EXECUTIVE COMM ITTEE OF THE UKRAINIAN WOMEN’S LEAGUE OF AMERICA. WHAT DO WE WANT FOR OUR CHILDREN. (a continuation of interviews concerning the preservation of the Ukrainian language) The reason for this interview is that a strange situation is apparent in some families where children have achieved college status and are first or second genera tion born outside the boundaries of Ukraine. These fam ilies are proud of the achievements of their children, their successes in schools, in universities, their awards, or the abilities of their children to speak different lan guages. Yet when it comes to speaking Ukrainian, fre quently the ability for that is lacking. These children, who are so fluent in French or German, have great diffi culty with Ukrainian, the language of their fathers. What is the reason for this? When one investigates this dilemma, the answer lies not with the children, but with the parents and the way they raised their children. To be precise, there was a lack of method and direction in the way these children were raised, as well as the pres ervation of cultural heritage was not treated with the seriousness it deserves. Such problems do not exist in families as that which was described in our last interview. This interview is with the daughter of the last inter viewed family. Tanya is a second year university (Ivy League) stu dent. Her mastery of the Ukrainian language is a plea sure to the ear.
