GERMAN IN THE SCHOOLS

PROTEST TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
AGAINST DROPPING IT FROM THE COURSE.
Superintendent Jasper's report TO the Board of
Education yesterday on the attendance al the open
inc of the schools month showed that It was be-
low, tho average this year on the opening day It was
1870 2s2 against 1886 61 last year 1897 new pupils
we're admitted against 90 092 last year. The pupils
IN whom admission refused for lack OF accommo-
dotjon in the schools were ABB The attendance
during the first week Of school was largely aected,
Mr. Jasper said, by the bad weather.
A memorial was received from the Central Com
mIttee of the United German Democracy on the report
~ the Committee of Eight before the Board In favor
of disseminating the teaching Of German In the public
schools The memorial says In part
The adoption OF such recommendation by tho
poaId ~ Education would be ine2cusabe disregard
~ 80 wants of our cosmopolitan population Although
the English language IS the language OF the country
notbor tongue IS the German language, and OF whom
a croat many desire their children 10 be instructed
therein. This tendency, instead OF being dscQurased'
should he assisted by our Board OF Education be-
cause the study Of another language besides the
mother tongue IS admittedly one OF the most efficient
factors Of rational education; The introduction OF
the instruction IA the German language In our public
schools was the result Of long and thorough discus,
.lons 1t should not DC s.soG 6e''rOE Tba , but
Di,toe has however. not advanced such basis
for It's recommendation. It's sole argument Is the
assertion that the results of such instruction are moi
tradcfion of the judgment OF the superintendent OF
public schools on ths gs samf be eppont ms last
tanned by the principals OF a great number OF our
schools Therefore the United German Democracy
the said Recommendation to abolish the instruction In
the German language in our public schools.
The report Of the committee to which this memorial
related came up before the Board but It was post
pon.d as a special order for the next meeting.
