does not justify the means.
Secondly-The duty cf the State.
1t is time that american institutions
should be held such and not Gcrmanized.
The law evidently sets forth the duty of
the Board to fur in school houses and
teachers, and prescribeS that certain
studies shalt form the basis of lhc school
curriculum, among which German i, not,
mentioned. The State has assumed the
duty Of educating her Youth
upon two main considerations:
FirSt-Mcntal md moral culture
necessary for mans highest degree OF
happiness. She Says that every child in
her domain shall have an education. or
least an opportunity.
observation-disclosures ana morality are
essential to self government; hence the
cheapest means of self preservation
Is justified in requiring that her children
shall have an education essential To good
citizenship, the elements of which are
the English branches, mcdaniel phil
eoophy, chemistry, book Keeping and
such studies as enable them To c"mpre-
heod inteiligibIy the laws of our country
The study of the German is foreign, 10
MI these Obj CTS. Art agriculture, manu-
facture, mining move along among our
people without it.
Ii is incxpcdicnt to encourage any
American citizens by adoption, to keep
up any barrier Of distinction, and the
unity Of language should be rs complete
as the unity OF love OF country and her
great interests.
1t also works a great inju tice to citi-
zenS of other nationalities, who are AS
good, and pay their school taxes as
freely.
Thirdly-German is a higher Branch,
and as such, should be classcd with Latin,
Greek, Geometry, Hebrew, French. &c,
&c, and which are only adapted to the
wants and demands of High Schools, aad
