Will Teach Spanish Instead of German
 In English Schools

London. Oct. 19-The educational authorities in London are considering the substitutioH of Spanish for Ger man as a second language in schools and public examinations. The ad- vantages of Spanish over German are thus stated by one of the advocates of the change:
 we do not want German trade, but we do want South American trade The Germans have made great pro- gress there. but the war has halted them for the time being. so that the field is open to Great Britain if we can speak the language.
 Spanish is easier to learn than German It can be taught very quickly to a student of French, which is the first language in all English schools
 German Is of little use outside of Germany, whereas Spanish is spoken over very considerable part of the world. e
 The teaching of Spanish is being encouraged in the United States with a view to that country capturing Ger manyss trade Great Britain, too, wants share in that trade
