LANGUAGE STUDY
IS POPULAR HERE
Spanish Classes Are Larger
Than Ever Before,
GERMAN IS IN DISfAVOR
Teachers Regret That Preju-
dice Hurts Its Study,

Enrolment Of high school students
here IN language classes IS larger than
ever in the history of the school and
the condition is caused according to \.
HOFFMAN, teacher Of German, by the
consciousness on the part of Americans
that they must tit themselves for the
larger world obligations assumed when
the United States entered the war.
This time last year the enrolment n
the Spanish class was only eighteen. Il
is now 200, which goes to show. NJ
hoffman says, the increased interest cx-
istng between tins country and South
America. Two extra classes have been
added to the Spanish department
French classes are much the same as
last year, but the fact that no teacher,
have been secured is holding them back.
That the German classes have falleS
off one e-fourth, is a condition to be de
plored, both Miss Stella Smons an
other teacher Of German and Mr. koii
man think. Last year there were four
classes IN this department and this year
there arc only two. Both are small
Mr.. Hoffman saws that the English
and French are still keeping up the
study Of Geru,an in their schools be,
cause they realize that even if Germany
IS crushed, it will be to their advantage
TO know the language Just the same.

Uneuen Sidewalks
Hurt Proper Show
Window Displays

Uneven sidewalks and high heeled
shoes form a combination that prevents
effective show window advertising in
Oklahoma City, according to A. D. Nc
Mullen, secretary Of the Retailers as
sooiation.
III many merchants along Main
street realized to what an extent the
uneven sidewalks detract from the eff
fioiency of their displays, they would
raise hue and CRY for even walks IN
front OF their establishments" said the
secretary. by actual observation |
have learned that the average woman
wearing high heels will start toward
an attractive display to window shop,
then, seeing the uneven walks and tear
ing the consequent turning OF ankles,
walk around and past the display, no
matter how tempting"
