STUDENTS DESERT GERMAN.
Cornell Freshmen in Stampede From
German to French Glasses.
Snecial To Times Renl1hlican


Mount Vernon. Sept. 22.-High
schools over Iowa are wrestling with
the question as whether or not the
study Of the German language should
be included in the curriculum. The
experience last week at Cornell Col
lege may be an. interesting straw
showing which way the wind is blow
ing. No effort was made to influence
freshmen against German, in fact the
professor of German Gan American)
was the head of the freshman enroll
ment committee and the language had
every chance. Some considerable de-
crease was expected but the STAN
pede" from German to French sur
passed all estimates. Last weeks reg
istration revealed thirteen students III
beginning German and 200 in begin
ming French. Last year at the CORE
spending period there were 100 in be-
ginning German and 100 in beginning
French. The French department has
increased Sc per cent over last years
registration. In other respects the en-
rollment is practically normal in spite
Of army. and navy enlistments, the
draft, the army Y. NJ. C.. A., and other
forms OF military service that have
taken heavy toll from Cornell College
during the past few months.

Montezuma. Sept. 22.--Among those
called for service is a man who ap-
peared before the examiners in Au-
gust as an invalid. He was supposed
to be suffering from a severe attack
OF rheumatism. He was almost carried
into the room by his father and a
friend and his condition appeared to
be such that the physicians did not
ask him to strip but made the examin-
alton as easy for him as possible. He
was given discharge on account of
his apparent physical condition. A lit
tie later\ it was rumored that very
shortly after he appeared before the
examiners he was at work in the field.
It iS not known what showing was
made to the district board but an DR.
der was later received revoking his
discharge. He Is now at Camp Dodge.
The local board is decidedly OPP
posed to the examination Of the bal
ance Of the men subject to draft at
this time /as has been suggested by
some Of the officials. 1t would take
some fifteen days Of solid work for two
examiners to finish the work in this
county beside the vast amount Of cler-
ical work such course would entail.
There are several things that are sug-
gested by the experience in this coun-
ty where the examination was only a
few weeks prior to the actual draft.
One man was certified but did not ap-
pear because Of an accident which ne
cessitated his confinement in a hospital
for time. A number of men were
discharged because of underweight. At
this time Of the year many have gone
thru a hard summers work and are
reduced in flesh to point quite be-
low their normal weight. They might
be rejected on that account now
whereas if the examination is not held
until spring they would be up to nor
NAL weight.
