More than ordinary attention is paid
In the Milwaukee public schools to the
teaching of the German language be-
cause of the very large number of
German residents. 1t was thought last
spring, however, that this feature of
the school curriculum was costing more
than was necessary, and change was
made in the method Of indicating the
wishes Of parents as to the teaching
of German. Prior thereto the rule was
that German should be taught to all
children whose parents did not express
a wish to the contrary. Under the new
rule only those children whose parents
make a special request to have them
taught German participate in this
study This, contrary to expectation
did not cause a reduction in the num-
Der studying German, but resulted in
an increase. OF the 1921 children In
attendance a little over 10000 are re-
ceiving instruction in German, and the
annual cost of this service alone is
about $4,000.
