German School Board Member

The German members of the Board of
Education held an informal meeting last
evening in the German Mutual Insurance
Company's Office to reconsider the action
taken BY the Board by which Grade A OF
the District Schools was transferred to the
intermediate Schools. The following ar
guments were advanced against the change
by the speakers:
First-That the separation between the
District and intermediate Schools was USE
less and was Objectionable; also, because
experiment had shown that it increased
the expenses OF parents for their children.
Second-That the taking Of grade from
the District Schools simply lessened the ad-
vantages OF proportion of the pupils, al.
legged to be very large, whose training ceased
with those schools.
Third-That the measure was really an
attack ON the teaching of German in the
public schools since it would reduce the
time allotted to that language in the Inter-
mediate Schools
Fourth-That the action was contrary
to rule 40 of the board, which required
that proposition for any change in the
system of the school must lie over at least
from one meeting to the next.
Nothing was done by the meeting, the
object apparently being to pers uade some
member who had supported the measure
to move its reconsideration.
