KERR BLUFFS AND THE PEOPLE PAY

W. j. Kerr president of the state agricultural college,
has made his bluff work and has had his board of regents
raise his salary from ST. 900 to $84O0 year. Some
spread the that Kerr had been offered $4,000
to head the Kansas agricultural collegeand this the
signal for the machine to get busy here. State Senator
Hawey of Polk, secretary of the college board mmedi
atey launched movement to petition the board to raise
Kers salary from $1,000 to $4,000 and press agents
set to work flooding the state papers with laudatory
notices of Kerr and his work Many of the papers
printed the editorials and news stories they were
furnished and the movement grew Of course, when
the proper time the board of regents got down
their knees to Kerwe infer from the reports sent OUT
offered to compromise for $8400and the little farce at
the expense of the state ended for the tmeBeng
at least.
There is no question about Kerr's shrewdness as a
politician machine organizer Just how much he has
done for the sateexcept to spend vast of money!
is probematica and opinion differs widely upon that
point What he did to Utah is definitely known.
But the real point in the joke is that the board of adj
ministraton of the Kansas agricultural college never
made any kind of offer to Kerr in fact they never
even discussed the matter with him at all.

TEACH ENGLISH ONLY

The Oregonian ntimate it believes the study of Ger
man should be continued in the public schools 1t at the
time expresses its belief that other languages should
be taught as well as German.
Undoubtedly this latter statement is correct granting
that any language other than English should be taught
in the public schools Of the country Undoubtedly Amer
leans behind almost all other peoples in learning
using any language but their The Oregonian points
this out and also notes. what the Capital Journal has
called attention to several occasions and that is that
those learning" German in the public schools know little
nothing about it when they have spent years in its
study AS matter of fact in most of the public schools
where German is taught the teacher is an American who
does not speak the language correctly AS do in
many things undertake to fit a square plug into
round hole in the teaching of foreign languages
We do not believe any foreign language should be taught
in the public Schools and of the for that be-
lief is the conditions above stated.
1t has far proved waste of money and there no
indication that the system will be hettered The time de-
voted TO foreign languages could be put to better
by devoting it to arithmetic and spelling and especially
the latter We are becoming nation of poor spelers too
many like the music teacher spelling by ear That the
present generation cannot begin to compare in the SPELL
ing line with the that preceded it is certainty It
used to be that spelling matches between schools were
featured and schools prided themselves their repua
tion in that line Schools in the country especially met
in fierce rivalry for the championship and in consequences
There were spoilers in those days" If all foreign
languages dropped and along with them some other
modern foderos and the time put in spelling arith
metc and geography it would prove beneficial to both
schools and pupils.
