HIGH SCHOOL NOT
KEEN FOR GERMAN
Supt. Horton Believes Subject
Will Eventually be
Eliminated.

Whether the study Of German in
the public schools OF The city shall
be discontinued or not is a question
which has been much mooted dur
ing the past few weeks. Agitation
has been strong against the con
tinuance because OF the decided pro-
German sentiments in evidence
throughout the state. Many citi-
zens are in favor of its elimination
on the ground that IL tends 90 spread
the feeling OF German sympathy
and is a means OF aiding the un-
loyal in their distribution of sediti-
Gus propaganda
Mishawaka and South Bend are
among the very few cities Of the
state still retaining the study Of
German in the curriculum Of their
schools In many institutions the
scholars have voluntarily dispensed
with IL and in a number Of instances
have positively refused TO study it.
Supt. Horton Of the high school in
a statement made Wednesday. said
IL was his belief that the subject
would eventually eliminate itself
the interest shown this year by the
students being such that instead Of
the usual three sections, there is

The argument most strongly
against its disuse is the requirement

partments Of the universities that

familiar with German. II their
ignorance or the language viii bar
them from enrolment IL would be
advisable TO remove the study from
the schools.
u is the belief OF Supt. Horton
that there will be a concerted action
by the school boards Of the country
TO determine whether or not its re-
moval is justified, and steps then
taken 10 bring it into nationwide

which is likely 20 result from single
departures from the custom makes

LUTHERANS WORKING FOR
RED CROSS.

In reference to the article in
Sundays News-TImes on
Knocking the Red Cross" in
which it was stated that a
prominent member Of the Ger
man Lutheran church had been
guilty of circulating rumors det-
rlmental TO the work being car
ried on by the women of the
city. il now seems that there
has been some misunderstand-
ing in the matter. Members of
the board of management of
the church called at The News
Times office last night in refer
ence to the statement which
they flatly contradicted. In
fact, they state, that on the
advice of their pastor. Rev.
Otto Turk, the women of the
congregation have done con-
siderable sewing and knitting
for this very object. Sunday,
Sept %, Rev. Mr.. Turk from
his pulpit EXPORTED his congre-
cation in special announce
ment 10 contribute Of their
services for the benefit OF the
Fort Wayne Lutheran hospital
which is actively engaged in
Red Cross work. At the same
time he told them not 10 let
this object interfere with their
work for the local branch of the
Red Cross which he compli-
mented on its splendid eff
forts.
IL has since been ascertained
that the two women who re-
turned their yarn to the city
hall owing TO the rumOr, are
not mem bers of the German
Lutheran church, but belong to
entirely different denominations.
The News-Times gladly makes
this explanation. The informa-
ton published sunday, came to
the paper from a source which
il considered unimpeachable An
effort was made TO get a state
ment from Mr. Turk Saturday
night. but as ne was out Of the
city this was impossible.
