says he; The summer after graduation I was trav-
eIing alone through Germany. Before landing in the
country had thought that I knew considerable
about the language, having spent two years in the
study OF IT, with a finish Of Goethe and Schiller
But soon found that reading Of the poets or the
Nieoelungen Lied did not help me when I wanted
20 order beefsteak at hotel or was inouirfnr

further up the Rhine I found myself more and
more confused by what I heard and had finally
made up my mind that an American cannot learn
the German language out of textbooks or even bv
weeks sojourn among the German people them
selves.

sat number OF German soldiers drinking and

soldiers arose hastily. and taking OF his cap ad-
