Instructions In German IN the Public
Schools.
Apropos of an article In the Sunday
edition OF the Germania, advocating tho
addition of German TO the course OF study
of the High school, q petition was pre-
sented TO the Board OF Education NJ its
regular meeting, signed by prominent
citizens of American and German birth.
In Il the manner In which tho study OF
German should be introduced IL briefly
Indicated, supported by concise and in'
dlsputable arguments. The introduce
tion Of the study Of the German lang
uage 10 advocated simply as n linguistic
study, and not as n medium OF language
In the teaching OF the entire course OF
study, as In favored by certain other
parties, They cite ~ proofs OF The teaal-
bility OF their plan the cities OF Cleye-
land, Cincinnati and Milwaukee, where
German IL taught and used, along slde
of the English language, In the entire
course OF study.
But II IL clearly established by sta
tistics, that this method produces ny no
means the results that could Justly De
expected, and that for this reason, ana
for the fact that the great expenditures
caused by this method Ia entirely mad
equate by the results achieved, opp0si'
tlOn has been made TO the Introduction
Of the German language In the Amer
lean public schools In general. Eur
theTmOre, II will be very difficult, from
the standpoint Of American citizenship,
TO establish good reasons for the a6ao'
lutte equality Of the German language
In the public schools. The plan is im-
practicable and will never be introduce
cd In this city. This was clearly DEM
onstTatod by previous consideration ana
agitation OF the question.
For this reason the method OF intro
ductiOn indicated by the Germanla is
the only correct one, The majority OF
the members OF the Board OF Education
az we'll as Of the citizens NJ large Will
favor II, In the special committee, TO
which the petition was referred At the
last session Of the Board, the plan to In.
troduCe German in all grades and
classes Is represented by Member Sey-
bold. But Its agitation will never be
successful and can at best cause . possl'
Bile delay Of energetic action. The mo:
