WHY ITALIAN

If would no difficult we think, to find con-
vincing reason for making the Italian language
q studv even an elective study, in the common
schools of this city, as it is said the boafu Vi
Educa ton may do. The teaching OF ioreisn IAN
guages is in any case of disputable proprlety.
In the case of two or three languages 1t Is pei
haps to be defended on the ground of practical
utilitv The results of the war of 1898, with
our acquisition of popuous Spanish speaking
territories and consequent great increase OF Cold
mercial and other intercourse with communities
which will probably always remain spanish
speaking afforded plausible pretext-We snail
not object to saving it created actual need-0t
putting Spanish upon the elective curriculum
But no such plea can be advanced for Italian.
We are not unmindful of the beauties OF that
tongue and of the desirability of acquiring 1t as
a part of a liberal education. But it does not
seem to us to be of such practical utility IS
would entitIe 1t to a place in the elementary
schools. Our social and commercial intercourse
with Italy is agreeable, but 1t is limited IN eA-
tent, it is not greatly increasing, nor likely 10
increase and it is and doubtless will be con-
fined chiefly to persons who have been able 10
secure at their own cost other educauonal al
vantages than those of the COMMON schools.
More Americans set type or practise dentistry
than visit Italy, Why not teach typesetting or
toothpullng instead of Italian?
If 1t be said that Italian should be taught i'll
our schools because so many Italians have come
hther, we must deny outright the competency
and effectiveness of the argument 1t is for
Italians who come hitler to learn our language,
not for US to learn theirs. If the children or
immigrants want to learn their parents mother
tongue they may do so, from their parents or
elsewhere, but they should not do so in our pub
lie schools There they should learn the English
language, as one of the most essential steps
toward their becoming completely American
lied. Our public schools should not be made an
agency for the maintenance of communities
speaking alien tongues.
In saying this we are not ungraciouS or in
hospitable to our foreign born citizens, nor IN
mindful Of their sentimental ties of race and
speech. The views we have expressed are, as
we happen to know. held by many representa-
city. They have manifested an earnest desire
that their children shall forsake the language
Of the old country for that of America, and
have even uttered the expectation and the hope
that one day in the not remote future all the
immigrant elements of NETWORKS population
will become so Americanzed in speech as we'll
as in other respects that the newspapers and
in foreign languages will be chiefly If not
wholly transformed into English printed sheets
1t is for such reasons that while we regard 1t
as a highly desirable study for private high
schools and colleges we cannot concede the
propriety of teaching italian in our common
schools

JAPANESE RIOTS EXPLAINED.

Secretary Taft's dispatch to the President, ex-
planning the recent disturbances at Toxic and
elsewhere in Japan. gives welcome confirmation
Of what we have all along assumed TO be the
fact The riots were in no sense anti-American
demonstrations. Neither were they anti-dynas
tic or even anti-ministerial They were pro-
voked by bit of overcaution perhaps over
zealousness on the part of the police. The
people, or many OF them, were not pleased with
what they had heard about the terms Of peace
and wanted to say so publicly. The police I'm
wisely and Illegally tried to prevent them from
meeting and talking, whereupon the diBorderly
elements, such as exist In every country, com
mitted some excuses. That was all. When
the police RETAINED from interfering with free
speech, the people met and talked in orderly
fashion, and went away quietly.
There is no occasion for Americans. or for the
people of any nation to throw stones at the
Japanese. Our own police have often enough
committed indiscretions, and our own people
even right here in New-York, have often enough
INDUCED IN riots TO make us realize tslat our
own house is largely rooted with glass IF his

coed In defeating altogether the Panama prof.
ect But they hope to cause much delay ana
they know that every days delay means a DAY S
respite the more for some other enterprise, ana
a DAVIS more confirmation of commerce in other
lines. But they will scarcely succeed in causing
delay. Their motives are too evident Their
trick has been worked before. and worked
threadbare For years, whenever Congress was
apparently at the point of doing something
definite toward canal on one of the two prac-
ticable routes. somebody who was really OPP
posed to any canal at all was sure to bob up with
perfectly passionate advocacy of some other and
absolutely impossible route or with clamorous
announcement of the discovery of a real, bona
f1de. smon-pure mares nest, which he would
take pleasure in placing at the disposal of the
government If only 1t would postpone action for
year or so and appoint another commission to
go down to the isthmus and study things at lei
sure. That sort of thing is played out, and the
fact may as well be understood. The United
States has committed itself to the building of a
canal at Panama. and has spent $500O0000 and
more already in the enterprise. It is not at this
date going to abandon that investment or delay
the prosecution Of the great work TO which it
has set its hand.
