at noon Sunday than he has on any other
noon for the last a. years He is n
French bird by every right, a symbol of
Frances unconquerable spirit and poilus'
valor, and for all these long years he has
been exploited for the benefit Of Stras-
bourg visitors in German by Prussian
veteran guides. The Prussian veteran

is out of German bondage and his release
is worth his strongest and longest clarion

When Marshal Petain entered the city

TO ELIMINATE GERMAN.
From the Courses of Instruction in the
American Schools.

New York, Dec 30-A nation wide
campaign is being conducted by the
American Defense society to eliminate
the teaching of German in the schools
throughout the United States In let
ter written the principals of public
schools, private schools and colleges
throughout the country the society urges
that French, Italian, Spanish and Rus
sian should be given prominence in the
curriculum with view to strengthening
trade relations between these countries.
The letter, which is signed by Dr.. Will
liam T Hornaday, reads;
Reports are rife that with the ending
Of the war there is to be an attempt to
force upon our American youth the Ian
guage of the people whose hands are
stained with the blood Of their fathers
and brothers The German language
has been used as weapon directed at
the heart of America by German propa
gandists. 1t is the opinion of many of
our prominent educators that German is
not an essential in any course of study,
and it Is to be hoped that our American
youth will not permit its being forced
upon them for any reason whatsoever.
The next five years will witness crys-
Utilization Of educational opinion and
upon that capitalization viii depend
the future of American education.
For those who study a language for
its future utility the choice lies between
French, Spanish, Italian and Russian as
our relations with these countries viii be
immeasursbly increased now that peace
is in sight To study German would
be to condone the atrocities perpetrated
by the people who speak this language.
