DIsLOYALTY IN THE SCHOOLS

A recent incident in Newark, N.
j., city containing many persons of
the pro-German persuasion, is worth
noting as an index of a regrettable
state of things.
The public school on New York
avenue, Newark, is attended largely
by children of German-born Ameri-
can citizens, and recent European de-
velopments have caused such strong
feeling that "the teachers have been
informed [according to the printed
report ] that the war was not to be
mentioned in the classrooms." Moth
ing was said about music, however,
so when a teacher in one of the lower
grades recently chose "The Star
Spangled Banner" as the marching
song in the course of the days duty,
she was somewhat disconnected to
find that all the children refused to
sing it; they kept silent under re-
peated direction, and finally marched
out to the strains of "Die Wacht am
Rhein" whistled by one of the boys.
When questioned in regard to the
matter some Of the children said "the
gang" had told them not to sing this
song; others admitted that their
parents had forbidden them to do so.
1t is said that the phrase "the Ger
man States of the Union" is a ia
vorite expression in that New Jer-
sey neighborhood.
All this indicates a serious condi-
tion, in which more serious develop
ments are bound to come. 1t is of
prime Importance that disloyalty be
not taught in the public schools. In
the case Of these Newark children
the work Of clearing up the mis-
understanding under which they and
their parents are laboring may be a
little difficult, since all allowance
should be made for imperfect
knowledge and sentimental excess.
The District Board of Education
has commercially ordered the sing
ing of patriotic songs in the Wash
ington schools every day. 1t would
be difficult to imagine any pro-Ger-
man protest against the order of the
practice. But one thing is clear.
Children who are not sufficiently
American to sing America" are
hardly fit subjects for education at
the public expense.

WILL LET WAR CONTRACTS.

Contracts for searchlights. steering
apparatus and other equipment neces-
sary TO fit out merchant auxiliaries in
time OF war will soon be sought by
Paymaster General MCGOWAN, of the
Navy Department. The equipment
will be known as the war reserve sup
ply of the navy and will be purchased
with an appropriation OF $4,000. 900 al
lowed under the naval act of March 4.
The Bureau OF Supplies and Accounts
has determined to acquire the ma
terial shortly in large quantities and
keep the equipment available for i'm
mediate use should any emergency
arise.
