Conclusion: The French language and its probable duration in Canada;
the advantages of a friendly rivalry among French and English
Canadians, which will best stimulate the genius of their peoples
in art and letters; necessity for sympathetic encouragement of
the two languages and of the mental efforts of each other; less
provincialism or narrowness of mental vision likely to gain
larger audiences in other countries; conditions of higher
intellectual development largely dependent on a widening of our
mental horizon, the creation of wider sympathy for native talent,
the disappearance of a tendency to self-depreciation, and greater
self-reliance and confidence in our own intellectual resources.
