GERMAN At DELAWARE COLLEGE.

Editor Every Evening | understand
there is danger of the German language
being thrown out OF Delaware College
by action OF committees of the board
This thing should certainly not be done
until the alumni and faculty have had a
chance TO express their opinions on the
subject cannot speak for the faculty
and can speak for only one member of
the alumni, but ] am sure the great
majority of the faculty and scientific
men at the experiment station would be
strongly opposed TO any such action
As to the alumni believe those especially
on the scientific side would be just as
strongly opposed II German is thrown
out Of the college now ] predict that it
will be restored when the passions of this
war have somewhat cooled. Meanwhile
however, several Glasses may be graduated
without German.
Any man leaving Delaware College To
take an advanced course in one OF the
great technical schools would find himself
greatly embarrassed unless be was nc
>quainted with German. Furthermore,
not only is much valuable scientific in
formation originally published in German
and not easily found elsewhere, bat the
German scientific writer's have translated
much scientific matter Of great value
from other languages, such, for example,
as the japanese, which has not been
translated in any other European tongue
To debar the students Of Delaware Col
lege OF the opportunity tc acquire read
ing knowledge of the German language
would exclude them from such informa-
ton. German is not required study at
Delaware College. 1t is optional or cleo
tive and it should certainly remain in
the institution, at least on that basis.
The study OF the German language and
literature has absolutely no relation to
the present war. / wish the alumni could
be brought TO express themselves strongly
on this subject, through Every Evening,
the president of the college, or the presi-
dent of the board f. N Vallandigham

little enough to pay the police officers

ton If the patrolmen could not secure
higher wages IN snipyards TO which Ques-
ton Commissioner Smith said YES
1t was also stated at the conference
that at the present time there were
seventeen men eligible 10 retirement, and
II WAS the opinion Of some of the Council
men that men should not be allowed to
retire during the period Of war II was
stated that the commissioners could not
stop them, the Legislature having made
the laws governing the pension fund
Councilman Robertson took occasion to
remind the commissioners that he knew
of able-bodied men who were at work
on other positions and drawing pensions
from the fund
The conference then came TO a close
With MIR. Robertson suggesting that the
commissioners redraw their budget and
pare down some Of the items on the one
