STATE TO ALLOW NO CREDITS
FOR HUN LANGUAGE
Superintendent LaHpliH- -Vrges-AH
Schools to Drop German Next
Year.

Jefferson City. No. July I3.-State
Superintendent of Schools U. W.
Lampkin today declared that the Ger
man language will not be an ap-
proved subject in any Missouri high
school next year.
He said that the board OF educa-
tion of Kansas City had already elm
mated the teaching OF the Hun Ian
guage from the schools of that city
while St. Louis and St. Joseph will
not start any new classes this fall.
Lampkin said that while he had
hoped the elimination of the German
language would result through local
initiative he was now serving notices
that the foreign language would not
be given any credit in high schools
beginning with the opening OF the
next school semester.
German will not be an approved
subject in Missouri high schools next
year" said Lampkin. Last year LAB
out of the 600 high schools in Mis-
souri, offered courses in German; this
spring stated that the state superin-
tendent would cooperate with school
authorities i'll dropping German be-
fore the end OF the year Many
schools did so. Others continued the
courses with the understanding that
the close OF the school year would see
the end OF the teaching of German in
those chools
"In May sent inquiries to the high
schools aking what action had been
taken as to next year. One hundred
and two replies were received. OF
the Io2, 90 schools had discontinued
entirely Three reported that no ac-
tion had been taken. In five no be-
ginning German would be offered but
the question OF allowing pupils who
took German last year to continue
another year had not been settled,
while in three schools beginning Ger
man had been abandoned but second
year German would be maintained for
pupils taking certain courses.
II am giving notice at this time
that no unit of German will receive
any credit in the classification OF Mis-
souri, high schools next year. nor will
any high schools be considered for
classification if instruction in the ele-
mentary schools is given in any other
than the English language. This is
as far as the laws OF Missouri give me
authority to go.

TIES UP COUNTY FUNDS
United States Court Issues a New
Order in st. Clair County Bond
Case.

Judge Van Valkenburg. in the
United States district court at Kan
sas City last week handed down
decision which ties up the general
funds OF St. Clair county until the
old Tebo & Neosho railroad bonds
are paid. The decision is in form of
an injunction directed against the
courts. county treasurer and banks
having county money on hand and
forbids paying any warrants on the
general fund until the bonds are set
tied. Not only will the ruling tie up
all county construction, but the sal
aries OF county officials and other
county expenses probably will remain
unpaid.
The ruling was move in fight
OF practically half-century to COM
pei the county to pay bonds issued
by the county court in 1871 to help
pay for the Tebo & Neosho Railway,
which never was built. The bonds
eventually fell into the hands of Gin
nocent purchasers. who finally Sc
cured judgment against the county.
pound interest on the original issue
of about S23I.o has grown to about
4 millions. or within a million dollars
of the total value OF all property in
the county.
To prevent payment on the bonds.
which they maintain were illegal,
members OF the county court OF St
Clair County have for years been
elected on a platform OF "go to jail
rather than submit. and have regu-
larly been adjudged in contempt of
court and frequently sent to Jail. To
prevent service OF papers in such pro-
ceedings members OF the court have
frequently taken to the woods and
remained in hiding until Federal
agents gave up the search for them.
1t is said that court has been held
more frequently around an old wal
nut stump in the densest part of the
Ozark cumberland than in the county
courthouse since the litigation was
decided in favor OF the bondholders
