We were somewhat surprised by the
announcement made yesterday, by the
secretary Of the German school associ.
alton, that Of the very considerable Ger.
man population ofthe city, only nineteen
names appeared on the rolls of that
society. The German school, now In ito
sixth year, 10 an institution that certainly
deserves greater encouragement than
such membership indicates. II has
been most successfully managed, and has
been pointed to with pride - an educs-
tional institution that gave caste and
character to our young city. II II pstro-
nized alike by German and American
families; and its discontinuance would
form q source Of unendIng regret with al
concerned. We hope no such necessity
will arise. The levy imposed upon the
members Of the association is small,
being only 25 cents per month. A little
EFFORT, itseems TO us, would add at least
one hundred members. Cannot this ef.
fort be made?
The value Of the school to the com mu-
nifty at large Is acknowledged, and 10
those families that wish to give their
children German education. the school
Is invaluable. There are, no doubt, a
large number Of American citizens who
would enroll their names as members of
the association, II permitted to do SO, and
we are quite sure that the humble Of
German members might be quadrupled.
The thought Of abandoning the school
ought not to be entertained for single
