text of any books now in in the public schools
Notwithstanding the reports TO the contrary"
lie reminded Of the assertion that publish

sectaran songs and hymns from fifty books. Super
intendeut Maxwell replied that no one one In the
Department of Education had given orders for
changes in the text Of schoolbooks. He added that
If the work was in progress. the publishers OF
schoolbooks were doing their own response
bnity.
The subject will probably be brought up to-day
at the meeting OF the Board of Education. 1t is
expected also that representatives OF religious

to enter protest. If the opportunity arises against
the resolution adopted by the board II was ru-

Sir: The humiliation of great nation was COM
plete when President Roosevelt pleading for our
own vessels TO convey 10 the Pacific Coast our own
coal for our navy, and reinforcing his sup
pIicaton by promise of large increase of money
remuneration and above the asking price of
other nations, compelled 10 throw up his
hands. finding it absolutely impossible TO secure
the efficiency of our naval squadron without re-
sorting a strangers ship 10 float the necessary
coal. In view Of the above dust eating by the
Executive of great and glorious country"
it is seemingly most pitiful that the powerful
journals OF a world metropolis give so much space
to subjects entirely local and other topics friv-
olous enough. and practically eliminate the burn
ing question of shipping interests"
A hundred millions FOR navy! All praise for
that. but. Heaven the mark not one cent
TO keep that navy from actual dependence upon
more favored nations ships when 1t reaches out
10 distant lands across the waverlng seas! That
il is high time for the nation 70 sit bolt upright
and take notice Of the most important subject at
present confronting the people OF these United
States you and all others may be sure, and that
The Tribune, somewhat eschewing politics in IA
vor of a much needed and genuine craftsmanship,
will advocate, in uncertain vein the cause OF
our future commercial fleets. is the firm belief of

THE GERMAN THEATRE.
"Jugend," an Unreal Love Drama. -

DIR. Baumfelds capable stock company presented
last night at the German Theatre a German play
called by its author, Max Halbe love drama
The piece is entitled "Jugend" CYouthO and was
intended perhaps. 10 be { dramatic justification of
youthful illicit love. II this was the intention It
failed completely. from the narrow technical
point of view, for the spec. of calf love and
cat and dog passion presented was neither realis-
ucally convincing factitiously allurng. The
student betrayer and his easily yielding cousin
were both improbable and not little trying, and
their follies had excuse in stage temptations
too strong for ordinary natures to resist.
The playwright set his tragedy against a relig-
ious background, the scenes all taking place in the
rant young people being the parish priests nephew
and niece. The only merit about the play was its
incidental satire the risOr and bigory sometimes
developed in rural priesthood. the chaplain of the
parish being represented unrelenting judge
of human frailtes. In striking contrast with the
humanity and charity of his elder and expert
enced associate The two clerical roles were played
with force by Adolf Winds and Ernest Sauermann
and half wtted brother taken by Max Ldebl,
brought a welcome touch of naturalism into the
atmosphere. But the two lovers were burdened
with load of theatricality and unreality. which.
