 The situation in the sixteen states where the campaign against the Ger man language is reported as in prog. ress is in part described in Dr. Dick | ies report as follows:
 Arizona-Germa is fast being elim- mated by our local boards,
 Many of the public schools have discontinued the teaching of German, It has been practically dis continued in all our high schools.
 Florida-I think that practically all 1 of the Germans have been removed | from the schools without making any i public demonstration about it. They | just simply failed of reelection.
 Georgia have decided to dis. 1 continue giving examinations in Ger man in order to certify teachers in. | this subject. There has been no rule or law displacing the study from the schools. though it is becoming more unpopular every day
 Idaho-Teaching of German is pro- hibited in schools up to and including the eighth grade. Teaching of Ger man in the high schools is left to the determination of the local boards.
 Indiana the reassembling of the legislature ample provision will be made for the exclusion of German from our schools.
 kansas-There never has been any German to speak of taught in any of our elementary schools, and since the war it has been eliminated from prac- tically half of our high schools
 MiChigan-lt is my opinion that at least 30 per cent of the schools of this state have dropped German from their courses of study. It has also been dropped from the courses of study of many higher institutions.
 Mssouri-So far as reports have come there will be one or two high schools outside of the cities which are planning to give German next year, The city high schools are linn iting the teaching to students who are preparing for technical courses. In Kansas City the teaching has been discontinued altogether.
 New Jersey-The state board of ed. uCation passed resolution under
