to a great state of excitement by the
report that at the conference of educa-
tional authorities to be held in Berlin
this month a proposal will be made
to replace Greek by English in the cur
riculum of the Prusisan gynasla. 1t
is now stated that the entire reform
of the Humanist gymnasium is con-
templated, the proposal being TO make
Greek an optional subject, thus placing
It on a leven with Hebrew. and to
make English obligatory. 1t is also
proposed to reduce the time devoted
to Latin in favor of natural science
and gymnastics. 1t is declared that the
emperor is in favor of the proposed
reform.
