    "Very early, in fact almost immediately, translations into Basic can be begun. Translation, I believe, will prove to be its most productive use. In the first place, a class soon learns that a Basic translation cannot be made a word at a time. The whole sentence must be taken together as the unit of thought and meaning. This in itself is a useful thing for a boy to know at first hand. Any boy who has worked in Basic translation will never again have to have explained to him the fact that one language cannot be translated word for word by another, and the fact that the meaning of a passage of prose or poetry cannot be got at by piecing together the dictionary definitions of the words that make it up, or by producing a synonym-by-synonym paraphrase.
    "Growing out of translation, there is another use for Basic which I am sure will prove to have great educational possibilities. Much of the work done in schools to-day in language is in danger of defeating its own ends by producing boys who Know so many words and so many fetching ways of putting them together that the fundamental connection between words and realities has been all but lost. It is, unfortunately, precisely the potentially good writers, readers, and speakers who acquire this ready facility with words, a facility which lead anybody to believe that he has said something and knows what he has said, even when both these comforting beliefs are demonstrably false.
