ley Of teachers college. who announced
fhe following as received from DR..
Nicholson today:
May offer as one OF my first sug-
gestions the advisability of the con-
tinuation OF German, accentuating the
spoken use Of the language. This will
be particularly advantageous to those
students in college this year, who have
had two years OF PREPARATION.
Before the close Of the war there
will undoubtedly be a very consider
able need for officers who are able to
use this language"
Teachers College already had been

came from DR.. Nicholson. His request

coming close on the heels of Governor
Harding's speech on the foreign Ian
guage question at the Cedar Valley
fair here Sunday. has caused much
speculation locally.
Governor Harding holds the view
that we need not learn any foreign
Language to handle after-the- war
dealings with foreign nations, but that
foreign peoples will rather have to
learn English.

of men who registered out of Iowa. 1t
is also reported that there were many
