MINORITY REPORT.
Your committe to whom was referred
the question of feasibility of arranging for
the study of German outside of regular
school hours, or at such other times as
would not interfere with regular studies.
respectfully submit the following minor
ity report: That from the testimony of
such principals as have appeared upon in
vitation before your committee, we have
arrived at the following conclusions:
First. That in such of our school
buildings as have separate room for the
purpose, the teaching of German has been
so arranged by the principals, as not to
prove detrimental or interfere to an ap-
preciable extent with those taking this
study.
Second. That the teaching of German
in such of our buildings as have separate
whatever interfered with those scholars
not taking this study.
Third. That those pupils taking this
study have in other studies, not fallen be-
hind, but on the contrary have stoo above
those not taking it.
Fourth. That in buildings which have
no separate room for the purpose, the
teaching of German can be so arranged as
b.
work.
Your committee would therefore offer
the following resolution:
ResoIred, That in school buildings
which have a separate room for the pur
pose, the teaching of German be continu-
ed as heretofore, and in all other school
buildings having no such room, th9 study
of German be conducted at such time
outside of school hours If necessary as will
not interfere with regular school work.
