schools and at the public expense.
MIR. Donnelly took the question right. FL
/ dfd rot think it right, poor man, that Mr
Scheffrr. as rich man; should ask him, Dir
| Donnelly, to pay for his (ScheHers) children
to be taught German, and he certainly woulo
| children to learn Irish.
| The question was debated thoroughly b5
| Messrs. Scheffer, Benz. Merriam and Don
! nelly.
/ Mr.. Merriam asked Mr.. Scheffer if he wouk
| vote for Norwegian and Swedish being taught
| Mr.. Scheffer did think there were more Scan,
dinavians than Germans, but must not take
SO narrow view-we should legislate for tbs
| United States, not for State.
| Mr. Merriam thought it just pertinent tc
teacR Norwegian, Swedish, or even Chinese, in
the public schools as German or' French.
| Mr.. Berry was sorry the matter brought
| up at so late date because OF the teachers.
| MIR. Donnelly said he had brought foY-
ward motion at the commencement
of the year and it was laid on, the table. Es
| did not think the matter was supported for the
good of the schools, but to give some one job
the rest of the German gentlemen but he did
not like them well enough to do anything des-
| rnnental to the public schools.
| Mr.. Benz wanted to know what Mr.. Donnelly
meant by jobs; one wanted q job any more
| than Mr.. Donnelly did.

on that board who would pretend to say that
teaching German French IN the common
schools did not int rfere with the other work
and was not an injury to the schools.
DR.. Hagan moved that Mr.. Donnellys motion
be laid on the table, He thought it best to do

The amendment of DR.. Hagan was put, DR..
Hagan, Benz, Scheffer, Manson and Murphy
voting for, and Donnelly, Dufresne, Cullen,
McCardy and Merriam against, the motion.
Mr.. Merriam then asked Mr. Donnelly if he
would strike out from his resolution excepting
the High school," 80 that it would do away
with teaching German and French altogether.
MIR. Donnelly consented, and the motion as
amended was put. Ayes--Donnelly, Cullen,
Merriam. Noes-Hagan, Dufresne, Benz, Nc
Cardy, Scheffer, Manson.
Mr.. Donnelly then called for the original
resolution.
The President ruled tha. as Mr.. Donnelly
had accepted Mr.. Merriam's amendment, it be-
came the original resolution.
Mr. Scheffer asked that the report of the
committee on languages be sent back with in
structions that the expense be reduced to the
same amount as last year. The melton was
carried.
Mr.. Benz spoke of the age Of admitting chill
dren, saying that years was too young.
Mr.. Scheffer moved that in "rules for pupils
of schools section two. the word ''fve'' be
