FORCING LANGUAGE
BAN IN SCHOOLS
Enemy Aliens Also Forbidden to
Teach After July 1

Hartford, April 25--The use of any
language other than English for elo-
mentary instruction and purposes or
administration in public or private
schools in Connecticut will be prohib-
1Led after July /, next, under the
terms of a proclamation issued by
Governor Marcus II. Holcomb. The
Proclamation also prohibits any enc
my alien from teaching in Connecu-
cut public or private schools. The
use of a foreign language for devo-
tional exercises in private school is
permitted. The governors action does
not prevent instruction in a language
other than English as a foreign Ian
guage.
IN his proclamation, Governor 'Hol-
comb refers to the Connecticut stat
utes requiring school attendance by
children. and says: at is clear that
to comply with the obvious intention
and spirit of these statutes, the re-
Qhfred instruction of children should
be given in the English language, and
1t requires no argument to prove that
this is necessary for the safety of the
state and nation
The issuance of this proclamation
by Governor Holcomb followed the
receipt by him of a report prepared
by the Committee on Americanizatlon
of the Connecticut State Council OF
Defense, in which facts concerning
the use of foreign languages IN
scfs5ols in this state and elsewhere
wero included.
The Proclamation.

KNOCK
THE SEVERN RACES.
New York Paper Makes Wild
Statements About the Course
Here.

The selection of Annapolis as the
scene of the big patriotic National
Regatta has raised a howl from some
of the sporting element of the north
ern section where the big intercol-
legiate rowing classic has heretofore
been held. How biased the opposition
is is shown in the comment of the
New York Sun, which charges that
the course on the Severn is full of
crooks and turns for the crews" As
a matter of fact, the Severn course is
a straight-away with no turns. Fur
Their comment along this line by The
Sun follows:
Opposition to the choice of the Sew
ern for the national intercollegiate
regatta on May Is continues to de
velop everywhere. Just why the Sew
ern was chosen nobody outside of the
committee that made the choice seems
to know
Philadelphia wants a change to the
Schuylkill. We would like to see the
races roWed at Poughkeepsie, but if
the Hudson is out of the running by
all means let there be shift to Phila-
delphia. The Schuylkill course is so
far better than that of the Severn that
there is no basis for comparison.

ton facilities Annapolis is absolutely

That is what the gentry who live by

The proprietor felt and acknowl-

says he heard COleridge admit that a

never executed would fiji large vol

tility in projects was due. as Coleridge
fancied, to an overactivity of thought,
modified by = constitutional indol-

opium. On the other hand, De Quin-
coy believed that his opium eating pre-
vented him from writing the book he
intended TO make his life work. the
slow and elaborate result Of years Of
toll, to which he had presumed to
give the title of nm unfinished work Of
Spinoza'S, viz. De Emendatione Hu-

Maritime Miscellany.

One of the minor and vet exceeding
~ important articles entering into the
construction of a wooden ship is the
knee" A ship knee is a right-angled
wooden brace used to give strength to
the framing and is fashioned from the
natural crook of a tree formed by a
heavy, shallow, horizontal root and a
section of the trunk. Knees when fin,
ished are sometimes as much as six OF
seven feet high and many of them are
four feet high. The tremendous impe.
tus to wooden shipbuilding brought
about by the war has resulted in the
establishment of a sawmill at Port.
land, Ore, designed exclusively for the
finishing of ship knees. The timber
preferred is second-growth Douglas
fir, found growing in shallow soil, sc
that the roots turn off at right angles
to the trunk and thus give the proper
shape. A tract of timber that will pro-
duce five to seven knees per acre is
considered a good location for a camp.
The standardized wooden ship requires
some two hundred knees of all sizes,
while another type of wooden ship, also
under construction, requires more than
one hundred and sixty knees. In addi-
ton to the production of knees by the
special sawmill at Portland. various
operators are also getting out knees by
the old-fashionGd method of hand hew-
ing in the UNCONSTITUTIONAL Lumber
Manufacturers Association.

WINDSTORM DAMAGING
IN ANNE ARUNDEL
Telephone Lines Out of Commits
sion, Barn Blown Down and
South River Ferry
Swamped.

Although not so serious locally as
in other sections of the State and
throughout the whole country, the

siderable damage.
Aside from personal property dam
age OF more or less severe nature, the
public service and transportation sys-
TENS suffered The Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone system, through
its local exchange, was a heavy suf-
ferer. Through the local switch
board and it's branches, So lines of a
private kind, covering 33S individual
phones, and II trunk lines for toll
points were put completely out of
commission Heaviest damage was
TO the south of the city through the
West River and Prince Frederick ex
changes. In addition, 10 poles went
down on the main line between Balti-
more and Annapolis. These polls, all
on the trunk line for toll calls, were
located in the neighborhood of Fur
mace Branch.
The South River ferry conducted by
the County Commissioners at Taylors-
vile was put out of commission for
some time TO come. The scow used
to transport passengers and vehicles
at this point was sunk and it will be
some time before communication is
restored.
In the same section of the county
the large tobacco barn on the farm of
Mr.. W. w. Townshend, near Davidson

Real Purpose of The State.

The ultimate purpose of the state
is not to rule men, to keep them in
fear. to subject them to the will of
others, but, on the contrary, to allow
each as far as possible to live in Sc
curity, that is, to preserve for each
his natural right to live without harm
to himself or to his neighbor. No, re-
peat, the object of the state is not to
transform reasonable beings into ami
mails or automata; its object is to en-
able the citizens to develop In security
their bodies and their minds freely to
employ their reason. The true end Of
the state, therefore, is liberty
