Germany, until August, 1914. the intellect
ual leader of the world, the most broad-minded
nation on earth in its attitude toward Ian
guage, literature and art, has thrown away
incompatible blessings for the sake of military
hegemony. Do you suppose admire Germany
because her armies, her soldiers and her gen
erals are the best in the world? | can think
only Of what she has lost. To admire Ger
many because she can whip any nItion in the
world-as she undoubtedly can-would be like
admirng the negro race because it produced
Jack Johnson. When Jack Johnson is rated
above Paul Dunbar and Booker T. Washing
ton, then | will take off my hat to modern Ger
many.
Germany mas announced that no authors of
Great Britain, France Italy, Belgium or Rus
STA shall be sold in Germany; that no music
coming from any of these countries shall be
heard in German auditoriums, and Germans in
Germany almost foam at the mouth when they
hear English spoken in their hotels, although
until very recently Germans were so univer-
sally eager to learn English that it was diff
cult for an Engish-speaking traveller to learn
any German. How stultifying how unworthy
of the Germany we Americans used to love!
Equally silly, of course is the English adver-
tisement | recently read, where, in the an
nouncement of forthcoming series of orches-
trial concerts. appeared the statement: "No
German music will be played" Nothing by
Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Wagner, Schubert
Schumann, Brahms!

they hear an American in Berlin talking his

who should refuse to speak anything but
Dutch would cut himself off from much hu
man intercourse, and would be a narrow
minded, stiff -necked, obstinate fool. Maeter-
linck is not bit better Belgian when he talks
Flemish than when he speaks French, and it
is more beneficial for all the inhabitants of
Belgium to be taught French than to be taught
Flemish, for French is a finer language and
better adapted to-day for general use. If the
inhabitants of New England spoke certain

lea we should be very foolish indeed if we re-
garded it as a patriotic duty to speak this
dialect rather than English, or, indeed, if we
spent any time and money in preserving it or
in having it taught to our children.
Anything that concentrates a mans atten-
ton on his own village, city, state or country
to the exclusion of the rest of the world is
narrow, foolish and wrong. To insist on the
preservation of a certain form of speech or to
insist on talking in a certain way because
people in this particular locality used to talk
that way is as absurd as it would be to re-
g
read only native authors. l well remember

Yale University.

few weeks ago on the night of June 10,
as l sat in the open air at New Haven re-
gardng the first performance in the world of
Tennyson's drama Harold" given by Yale
undergraduates, l could not help thinking
what fortunate thing it was for Englshmen
that England was so thoroughly beaten in the
battle Of Hastings All Tennyson's syn Va
thes were with England and with Englan
King; Harold is represented as an admrabl
person and William as a barbarian. But if
Harold had won the battle there would have
been no Tennyson, nor would England have
had a language adapted either for great lit
ersture or for universal commercial use. The
Norman conquest Of England turned the stiff,
ugly awkward, highly infected Anglo-Saxon
speech into Teutonic-Latin hash, fit to be,
as 1t is fast becoming, a world language. We
cannot really call Anglo-Saxon the English
language, so thoroughly did the invaders &C
complish their work There is more difference
between English and Anglo-Saxon than there
Is between Italian and Latin.
George Moore complains bitterly Of the
eanness Of English grammar, because the ad-
Iective does not agree with the noun; but what
blessing it is TO all foreigners who wish TO
learn our speech that they find almost no
grammar, no accursed infections and no alb
"rd grammatical gender. Apart from the
Pronunciation, English is the simplest, easiest
language in the whole world. Won Hartmann

form of our speech, and made it adapted for
universal use. He also made it easier for
English-speakng people to learn foreign Ian
guages Our speech is so closely related to-
day to French. Italian and Spanish the one
hand, to German 9nd the Scandinavian Ian
Guages on the other that it is far easier for an
American to learn either French or German
than it is for a Frenchman to learn German
or a German to learn French. Thus the Nor

Englishmen and Americans ought to rejoice

have no sympathy with those who strive to
revitalize dying language with those who re-
fuse to speak a language because it is the
speech of their enemies, or with those who re-
sist the influx Of foreign words. Every foreign
word brought into language enriches the said
language; there is surely no more virtue IN
Saxon word than in Latin word, and those

clusively Saxon words ought not to be praised

The earnest attempts made to-day to force

is far better that the Irish and the Scots
should speak English and devote their spare
time to learning French and German than to
the resurrection of ancient forms of speech

ism. President Hibben of Princeton. in a re-
cent article advocating military training and
military preparedness, remarked that it was
the duty of the colleges to train young men to
serve their country. | regard such state
ment too narrow and too shallow for uni
versity ideals. 1t is the duty of our colleges TO
train young men to serve God and humanity.
to regard foreigners as our brothers, to be
eager to learn the truth from whatever
source, and, above all never to permit emo
tional patriotism to obscure moral ideals.
Only four years ago was sitting in group
of German professors when some one cited
aloud Mills statement that he whose fear of
consequences is greater than his love of truth
has no business TO be college professor. This
sentiment was enthusiastically applauded by
the Germans-what shall we think Of German
professors now? Is it not strange that il they
really love the truth more than anything else
that they should see that truth only in a leu
tonic aspect? that there is not a single man
among them who sees it from French or
English standpoint? And what shall we think
of these learned philosophers and scientists
who have been urging US TO give up religion
and all the things we hold emotionally pre-
cious TO sacrifice all for the truth-when we
find them unable to see the truth at all except
through the distorting lenses of sentimental
patriotism? Is it not clear that they love their
country more than they love the truth?
AMERICANS CORRUPTED.
And in America the war is gradually cor
rupting our minds. A distinguished foreign
visitor, about TO address a large assembly in
one Of our cities asked his audience what was
the real American attitude toward the war A
voice replied, in America we are all in a
state of boiling neutrality" 1t is certainly
true that day by day those who are pro-Ger-
man are becoming more passionately pro-Ger-
man; those who are anti-German are becoming
more violently anti-German. 1t is to be hoped
at all events that these emotional states may
not lead us into imbeciity; that those or US
who rejoice in German victories will not stop
reading Dante, Shakespeare and Rostand, and
that those of US who hate Germany will not
close our hearts and minds TO Goethe. And
yet only the other day in great town in the
Middle West many teachers of German could
not be re-engaged for next autumn in the pub
lie schools because so many pupils have now
