New YORK, Aug. 10.
The Association of German American
Teachers, which meets every two weeks in
this city, have submitted report of the
educational system pursued by them to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction In
Washington. 1t appears that German
children going to regular schools in this
country usually forget the language of the
Fader Land, and the schools were first or
ganized to do away with this state of affairs.
These have, in the course of time, been
greatly improved. until now they are
claimed to be equal to the, best schools in
Germany. 7--o to,.. ,re Mol
