FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN THE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

Only 10 cities out Of lG3 Of $4,000
reputation or over reporting to the
Bureau of Education teach foreign
languages below the seventh grade of
the elementary school, according to
statement just made public. In II
of these cities German is the foreign
language taught; in three cities Ger
man, French and Spanish are all
taught i'll the elementary grades; in
one city German, Italian and Polish
while i'll the three remaining cities
the languages taught to elementary
school children are French lnd Span
lsh. a.onc or in combination. In Il few
cities the foreign language is taught
in all grades, from the first to the
eighth; in others the instruction does
not begin until the fifth or sixth
grade. The number of elementary
sch, oil children taking German rang
cs from 40 in one city to $4,000 in
another.
Few Of the superintendent who
replied to the Bureaus inquiry favor
the teaching of German or any other
foreign language in the lower element
airy school, though many Of them be-
llcVc thoroughly in foreign language
study for students in higher schools.
\ California superintendent says: Il
was i'll doubt before the war. / am
becoming convinced now that our pub
lie schools should teach one nation,
one language. one flag. The teaching
OF Il foreign language below the sew
cnth grade is n sentimental hold Of
the old country OH Americans OF the
second gcncration.' An Illinois SUI
pcrintcndcnt says: "The public
schools should not assist in perpetual
ing foreign language in the home
and foreign view points in the com
munity." An Iowa supcrintcnd Is
careful to explain that German is
taught in the elementary grades in
his schools because "Gcrman-Ameri-
can grandparents and many parents
demand it,"
typical condition is that in Balti
more, Maryland, whore the introduce
ton OF German as n subject OF instruc
ton in elementary schools In 1874
was partly due to the fact that there
were large number of German pri-
vate schools in which the atmosphere
was entirely German. BY the introdu2
ton OF German into the schools the
private schools were eliminated and
the children gradually came under tho
influence of American ideas. In this
city the superintendent reports that
rho number of pupils taking German
mas been reduced so that now Ger. Is
taught only in n few Instances in the
scVnth and eighth grades ~" In st.
Louis instruction in German I'm the
elementary schools was discontinued
in the SOS. IN Cincinnati agitation
against the continuation of German
IN the schools has resulted in the re
auction Of the number Of children
studying German in the grades from
1880 in 1867 to 1000 in 1917-1S.
German has been taught in all grades
or the elementary schools Of Cincin-
natl for 76 years

CARE FOR PRISONERS AS THE

German prisoners are faring so
sumptuously at our expense?
Many OF these German prisoners
are interned at Hot Springs, N. c.,
and Senator Overman, of that State
addressed a letter on this subject to
Secretary of War Baker, from whom
he has had this reply:
"Relerring to your letter in which
you state that you have a good many
inquiries in regard to informed men
at Hot Springs, I beg leave to inform
you that the German prisoners held
at Hot Springs are under the jurisdic

that the war department has no iuris
diction concerning them. Information
al law provides that q captor nation
pay commissioned prisoners of war
a certain amount which is used to
defray the cost of their food and cloth
ing, and for the purchase of any 9th
cr articles permitted them by prison
regulations. Upon conclusion of war
the amounts so expended shah be re.
funded by the prisoners own govern
ment.
international law also provides that
enlisted prisoners Of war shall he
clothed and fed by a captor nation,
and shall be paid for certain labor per
formed by them. This provision Of the
law does not require that they shall
