Precise and title for this paragraph.

As for the language, it is no good trying to impose a medium of instruction on young pupils, which is not their mother-tongue. In the past, parents preferred their children to undergo the disadvantages of the English medium because, as against the drawbacks of a foreign medium, the advantages in life of superficially Anglicised culture were great. They deliberately allowed their children to learn the language through subjects rather than subjects through the language, because facility in the use of English language helped one very largely and covered many defects. These advantages must now soon disappear and the drawbacks in using a foreign medium will be more and more obvious as we go on. Nothing is gained by depriving young boys and girls of the advantages of the mother- tongue or some language near to it. In regions where more than one language is spoken, I see no other way but one, namely to form sections in the mixed schools according to language.
