BAR TEACHING OF
GERMAN IN SCHOOLS

The state board of education has
prohibited the teaching Of the Ger
man language in this state In public
schools up to the Eighth grade. This
action was taken because It was
thought best the teaching Of this for
eign language at a time when the
nation 10 at war with Germany ac-
eomplishes nothing advantageous
from an educational standpoint to
the children. The question OF teach
ing German in the high schools was
left OF the determination Of the local
school boards. The board favors the
teaching of French and Spanish in the
high schools only when these langua-
ges can be taught by thoroughly com.
petent teachers.
