MOTHERS HAVE SPOKEN.

there be any human being more interested in the
mental, physical and moral welfare of the school
child than the mother have yet TO meet that ind
vdual
Fathers brothers, sisters. aunts and uncles may be
concerned about the schooling Willie and Susie get but
mother sends them off 10 school every morning and
every day. They home from school to tell mother
what they studied and how; what they learned and why
what teacher said and dida the little. but TO them and
mother most important details OF their day school,
Mother bears most Of her childrens school burdens
which may be borne by another She lives her young
life again with her children they from first
reader to High School graduation exercises And mother
has a pretty good idea OF what her children should learn
that they may be useful men and women.
Mother does not want her children 10 study the
language Of the Hun.
Several hundred delegates from War Mothers organi

in freeing humanity from the clutches Of the Hun. Also,
they expressed their about the future Of this
nation their soldier and the possibility OF future
German propaganda which, they fear may be directed
toward the rebuilding Of the German MACHINE in
Europe and elsewhere.
II was because Of their adherence OF Germanism Of
"kultur" that the War Mothers Of America unani-
mousy voted against teaching German in schools,
elementary and high schools.
These mothers who have given their sons TO their
countrys cause do want the children of America
to study Germanism in any form They
want them American in name and fact. They want to
take chances their children being brought TO
regard German culture desirable. They never want

The War Mothers of America give their sons to beat

want to give their grandchildren sacrifices the
German desire TO fasten Germanlsm upon America
through American public schools.
