French in Schools

When our boys come back from "over there they'll
bring with them better knowledge of the French language
and greater love for the French people than the
American had when he headed for Berlin. He will have
fAught with French soldiers He win have traded with
French dealers And don't worry. girls, for he will
back to again. he will have talked with French girls
So it will about that when the Yanks return vic
torous and proud of it. millions of them will talk French
to each other and to
Mothers fathers sisters brothers. and friends of
~0ver there how going to with those
tors who will be given to slipping in few French words
every and then? Hadn't stayat-homes better get
busy and dig up French dictionary and grammar? But
that isn't all do We have oused German from our
schools. II should stay ousted. No doubt il will.
Why not substitute French for German? The younger
brothers and sisters of the Yanks start right this fall
acquiring French words Some schools already have broad
ened the of their French studies High schools which
gave optional French during the last two years insist
that pupils of the third and fourth years take French and
make it optional with freshmen and sophomores Graded
schools cities had German and hese-and others
might well teach the youngsters French The boys and girls
who have brothers lover there will like this opportunity of
studying the language of their brothers fighting comrades
the language they will often talk when they come back
to them.
The ties that bind America and France are grow
ing stronger and unbreakabe every day The Yanks
making it We help them by teaching French to
more of our school children.
Shall the schools of this city fall into line with the
opening day of the coming school year?
Oou, oui m'sieur.

Things You Can't Do

The crudest form of civilization is that of anarchy

of the despo whose word is law and who carries out his
will regardless of the wishes of the people.
republican form of experimentation the people, ana
by people the complex in its nature because not
only the interests of the individual be considered but
the interests the entire community. IL naturally follows
that the larger number of people concerned the more
difficult becomes the administration of law which shall be
just and fair to all men.
1t is much easier six to live together in harmony
than it for 600 to live in peace As the number oil
people community and the number OF IN
terests considered larger the greater must
come the restrictions which shall be placed each nd
vdual that while under ordinary circumstances might
possible exercise his freedom much rs ne
is compelled to forego certain privileges because the
exercise of these might work injury TO his neighbors
Thus, according to law. individual man may not DO
he pleases, with his property For instance
may burn down his house. because the burning
that property set fire to the property of his nextdoor
neighbor.
In certain states may not sell cigarets because
the selling of cigares is believed will work an injury TO
certain classes of citizens particularly to young boys IN
the community The law provides that may not spend
his he chooses until after he has made provision
for his family. And may not do with his own chill

acquire the education which presentday civilization de-
mands of all citizens
Whenever institution. custom business enter
