A Woman's Testimony as to the Value 81
Knowledge Of German.
It was just little informal gathering
of women, and as they slipped tea with
their hats on and gossiped about church
sociables and Of the preponderance Of
girls among the babies that had recently
arrived, one Of them let fall a German
expression.
ooh, dear mel Do you speak Ger
manY' asked the tall woman from
down east, who plumes herself upon
having married German broker and
thinks she speaks German herself.
Glow delightful
Certainly. said the. stout woman
who was addressed. 81 should think ]
ought 10. I lived in Germany for ten
years before I was married. It is very
useful thing too. My husband does not
speak German. but I remember one in
stance when the knowledge Of just one
little German word was Of great help to
him. You see, always made it a prac-
tice to begin teaching German to my
children when they were babies, and
just teaching them one word at time
and saying that one word whenever it
was appropriate until it was indelibly
fixed in their memory. Now, when my
last baby was beginning to walk, ]
wanted to teach her that the fire was
hot, an so whenever she went near to
it I would pull her away and point to
the stove and say, 'Heisl' said it a
great many times, and by and by she
learned that sheis' meant hot. Now, one
day my husband was breaking in new
man at his factory, and he wanted to
warn him about some dangerous place.
The man was a German, and my hus-
band was at a loss as to how to make
him understand until, all Of sudden,
he remembered having heard me in
structing the baby. So he pointed to the
place and called to the man, Heisl'
'Heisl' The mans face lit up, and he
turned to my husband and exclaimed:
81 understand you perfectly. -
