LUTHERANS QUIT
USING GERMAN
In CAPE SCHOOL
Congregation Unanimous In
Desire To Substitute
English for German
LIKELY
TO FORSAKE GERMAN
Father Pruente Says no Action
II as Been Taken by ST.
Mary's School.

The teaching of the German Ian
guage has been abolished by the Lu-
therans in Cape Girardeau. This an
nouncement was made by Prof. F. w.
Niermann, who is in charge of the
Lutheran school in this city.
1t was decided to discontinue teach
ing the German language at a meet
ing of the Trinity congregation at
Trinity Hall Suday afternoon. As
all policies governing the conduct of
the church and school are determined
by the congregation, the question of
the substitution of English for Ger
man was taken before the congrega-
ton.
This large body of residents of
Cape Girardeau and the county voted
as a whole to drop the teaching of
German. There were no strings tied
to this decision, and German will not
be taken up after the war.
When asked whether the Lutherans
elsewhere had ABOLISHED the teaching
Of German, Mr.. Niermasln said he did
not know, but that he had learned
that many Lutheran schools had sub
stituted English for German since the
war. each congregation governs it.
self. It's action is supreme. We were
not asked by any outside source to
discontinue teaching German" said
Mr. Hermann.
"The matter was brought before
the meeting last Sunday and it was
approved by everyone. But our ac-
ton represents only the sentiments
of our congregation. 1t was taken
without request from anyone, but
with the approval of all. We have
dropped German from all grades and
the English language has taken its
place"
1t was reported last night that st.
Mary's Catholic church, had also dis
continued German in ST. Mary's Par
cch:al school, but Father Pruente,
who is pastor of the church and the
head of the school. informed TIE Tri-
bune last night that no action had
been taken. "That action was con-
templated. but 1 have no decision to
announce" said Father Pruente.
1t was announced last night by
Prof. Niermann that the Lutheran
congregation lad employed Prof. w.
F. Weihermann of Baskerville, Cana
da, to take charge of the middle
grades in the Lutheran school. He is
in the city now. Prof. Weihermann
is a well-known Lutheran educator,
and for a number of years was a tea
cher in Detroit.
