Where the People
 May Have Hearing
A Chance of Tongues

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 Throughout the year we often hear or comments about courses of study or fered in the high school, remarks about the subjects taught and how they are taught; about the text books used; about the teachers, etc. From the writer's conversations with members or the board of directors and superintend- ent of that institution we were led to believe that these gentlemen are open for and willing to receive advice from citizens of this city, and if certain definite changes are desired now is the opportune time to suggest such changes-do not wait till after the high school term begins before asking for charges.
 Now, as this is the opportune time, here is a suggestion: Why should not this high school do like similar institu- tions are doing all over the country, and also the universities, namely, drop the study of German and substitute the study of French-the language Of one of our allies in this world war. There are plenty of arguments for this, most Of them apparent to everyone, but two l wish to particularly emphasize here. namely, that according to MT. Cook. the superintendent, there have been twice the applicants to study French than that have applied to study German; also that if the greatest insti- tutions of learning all over this country have considered it a most patriotic as well as practical move to make this substitution, and in many cases where both languages are being studied to drop the study of German. Then 1t seems to the writer such a move is inn portant enough for the Phoenix high school to also adopt the plan.
 Respectfully submitted,
 DR. FRANCIS H. REDEWILL.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Stocks were quiet and strong Mon day. Best information says there has been accumulation of good stocks the past week and they have gone into strong hands. This is true of Steel
 which is reflected in the strength of stock. We continue to hear good news on the equipments and believe they can be safely bought at these levels.
 Wright Martin Aircraft sold up to s16 a share and closed strong at 15A asked 16 The buying of this stock is of the highest class. This well-in- formed buying of Wright Martin is based upon the realization that the Company, through it's ownership of the basic Wright patents, is in position to become the General Motors of the aeroplane industry. The aeroplane business is today where the automobile business was 15 years ago, with the important difference that the automo- bile business had to get it's start and build up without government assist ance. The aeroplane industry will be the beneficiary of high government

BETWEEN THE TWO

There two forces at work right now Doing all the harm that they know
 how; The soulless sinner of cent per cent, And the Devil who breaches dis
 content And things most dear to me and you Are placed in peril between the two Blind and selfish they do not see The looming peril over the sea. If the Kaiser wins the selfish man Will rue the day, as the selfish man, While the idle and discontented crew Will find that jobs are hard and
 few. Between two millstones upper and
 neither, The grist of the Gods grinds all to-
 gether, And out of the furnace tried by fire, The brave will win to their hearts
 desire.
