ENGLISH THE WORLD SPEECH.

The Germans Favor tho General Study Of
tho Coming Language.
In an article on the Importance OF
introducing into the schools the study
of universal language (Weltsprachej
which recently appeared in the Preus-
sische Jahrbuecher DR.. Schroer advo-
Gates making the study of English OBJ
ligatory, not necessarily to the exclu-
sion of the classical tongues, but at
least in conjunction with them.
''This," he says, ''is not question Of
taste or rivalry between the 'moderns'
and the 'ancients;' it is simply a his
torical ecessity." The learned pro-
fessor properly condemns ali attempts,
however scientific, to construct an
artificial world speech, like Volapdk.
In his opinion a language which pos
sesses neither literature, historical de-
velopment nor linguistic relations can
never serve as a medium of general
communication, for the reason that no
one will take the trouble to acquire it,
merely as tool of trade" until it be-
comes universal; therefore it can never
become universal. Such attempts, how
ever, are not only aimless, because
they can never obtain the general con-
sent Of mankind, but they are needless,
for there already exists a universal
language. e., language which, by
its spread over the whole earth and
by the ease with which it may be
learned, has gained such long step in
advance that neither natural nor arti-
fetal means can deprive it of its as
sured position as the future medium of
international intercourse. And this
language is the English.
Prof. Schroer is careful to warn his
readers not to get their aim too high,
for to learn to speak and write fluently
and correctly a language which holds
SO high place in the scale of culture
and refinement as the English is diff
cult, but for the average man this is
not necessary, for even the average
Englishman has but limited COM
mand of his mother tongue, and the
daily intercourse of life requires but a
small and easily acquired vocabulary.
This is true of every language, but the
absence of puzzling genders and infiec-
tions and synthical forms renders the
English easy in comparison with
others. "The English language" con-
cludes Prof. Schroer, lis the world,
speech, and will, to all appearance, be-
come more and more so every year"
During the present century the Eng
disappearing population of the world
has increased fve-fold, from possibly
twenty-five million at its beginning to
at least one hundred and twenty-five
million. No other language has ever
been so rapidly developed no fact in
civil history is more significant than
this In every quarter Of the
world English is the conquering
tongue. The wide spread OF the Brit
ish colonial system, the marvellous
growth Of the United States and the
facility with which it absorbs every
foreign element bear witness to this
great fact, and our cousins in Germany
are Of too practical turn of mind to
be jealous or forgctful of it.

which extend far out under the Allan

few Americans who know that the
most extensive under-ocean mining
operations in the world are carried on

there is coal mine the shaft of which
extends several hundred feet below
