quests ALI instruction Be
Given in English; Aimed
at German.
tFrom a staff correspondent.J

Lincoln, Dec. ll.--(Special Tele-
gram. .)-The State Council of De-
tense has come out strong for the
abolition OF German in private and
denominational schools and this after
noon passed the following resolution:
Whereas, From Investigations
which have been conducted by the
Nebraska State Council of Defense,
it has become very apparent that the
teaching of German in some of the
private and denominational schools of
the state has had an influence which
is not conducive to proper and full
appreciation of American citizenship,
therefore,
BE it Resolved. That the Nebraska
State Council of Defense earnestly re-
quests that no foreign language shall
be taught in any of the private or
denominational schools. of Nebraeka,
and that all instruction, whether
secular or religious shall be given in
the English language.
And the council earnestly asks the
cordial cooperation of all private and
denominational school authorities of
Nebraska in putting into effect this
request, and we again urge that the
public school authorities Of Nebraska
see to it that no foreign language
shall be taught in any Of the grade
schools OF our state"
