Letters from the People
To the Editor:

4 " VIC A~~~S
There has been some question OF
late concerning the predicted unpopu-
larity of the study of German because
of the present war. The fear Of such
unpopularity ought to be entirely un-
founded, as the American people are
too DESTROYS of a liberal education to
allow a few prejudices to stand in the
way of the study Of language second
only to English. 1t is used, too, ex-
tensively in our own country, being
so rich in scientific research, in TO-
nance and literary worth. In con-
nection with this last point, Arthur
G. Merrill, editor in chief of the Ger
man school magazine, "Aus Nah und
Fern" expresses himself exactly as
we think. He says: "While we re-
main heart and soul loyal to our be-
loved United States, we students of
the language Of Goethe and Schiller
will ever retain the same profound adj
miration for these great masters that
educated Germans cherish for Shakes
peare and Walter Scott. Such men
belong to no nation and to no age
exclusively. They belong to the
world. Their works are part Of the
great legacy of the past. To appre-
ciate them we must read them in the
original.
"The field of German literature is
so rich and the range Of German
scientific achievement so immense that
the reward is proportionately great.
GAS students of German science and
literature, music and art, we believe
we shall be better prepared for the

A GRACIOUS alien
Wife of Swiss Minister Who Acts
~ For Germany Here.
POPULAR IN WASHINGTON.

The Break In Diplomatic Relations
with Germany Brought Forward .
Hostess of Acknowledged Charm IN
Diplomatic Circles at Our Capital.
The Swiss republic is a small one
hut It looms large in history and counts
for more than it might, In view or It's
size, on account Of the quality OF It's
citizens. The average Of intelligence is
exceptionally high In Switzerland ano
the problems of government have been
worked out much more satisfactorily
there than in some larger countries.
The minister to the United States from
switzerland. DR.. Paul Ritter, is a good
specimen of the race he represents:
Nine. Ritter has taken her place
among the lovely women OF the CAPT
tai. and she is counted among the
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1917-05-03

most versatile and entertaining Of the
corps. She is quite young, and her
frank, cordial manner and her joyous
interest in everything novel gives ad-
ditional girlishness to her appearance.
She was before her marriage Miss
Louise Reidhaar and has been care
fully trained for her high social des-
tiny, having first studied at the private
schools of Basel and afterward under
tutors in Geneva. She spent short
time in Paris, for she is an ardent mu-
stefan, and spent time at the conserva-
tory. The romance which eliminated
in her marriage is pretty story. As
the daughter of an eminent physician
of Basel, she was among the prime
favorites in the younger set, and she
met her future husband in the natural
course Of events.
After their betrothal Dr. Ritter was
appointed consul general at Yokohama
and had to depart at once for his new
post. In the meantime DR.. Reidhaar
determined, at the urgent solicitation
Of his prospective son-in-law and some
Swiss friends, to establish himself pro-
fessionally In the orient. So his daugh-
ter imbibed the charm Of the east
along with the western.
Said Nine. Ritter In q newspaper in
terview recently:
my country is conservative, and /
may safely predict that it will be
long time before the woman's problem
becomes acute. If may use the Ian
guage Of clever woman lecturer of
Great Britain, Swiss women are con-
tent to leave 'isns, asms, ologies' and
empire building to the men. Theirs is
much more vital problem.
Women are admitted to the five
great universities of Switzerland, at
Geneva, Basel, Zurich, Berne and Lau-
same, and there is no impeachment plac-
ed in their way il they wish to enter
professional ranks. There are many
women doctors and, Of course, the ex-
cellence Of the Swiss woman as a
nurse is internationally acknowledged.
But few women seem to wish to enter
the legal profession, and there is no
agitation whatsoever about their desir-
ing part of the legislative authority
which by centuries has been allotted
to man. Women are q tremendous
force in Switzerland, but 1t is along
traditional channels which the wisdom
Of the ages assigns the proper course
for women"
