All Schools to Adopt
Anti-Kult Plan
New York System May Be
Used Throughout the
Country

New York's plan of fighting the
spread of German kultur in the schools,
it is believed, will be adopted through
out the country. Frank P. Wilsey.
vice president of the Board of Educa-
ton, said yesterday that he was GER
tain the system proposed by the board
could be introduced into every school
without mourning one dollar of addi-
tional expense and without taking away
from the pupils any part of their pres
ent curriculum.
The need Of coarse of study, ac-
cording to Mr. Wilsey. which will have
as its keynote the incul lcating of pa
trictism in the minds of the children
of the country was made painfully evil
dent by test recently conducted by
the Institute OF Public Service.
A series Of questions bearing direct
" on The reasons for Americas 5 par
ticipation in the war was submitted to
1856 high school students. The same
set of questions were asked 81 state
and city school superintendent at one
of the sessions of the National Edu-
cation Association. held recently at At
lantic City Incorrect answers were
made by A per cent Of the high school
students. and 81 per cent of wrong an
swers we're made by the school super
intendents.
Just how far German propaganda has
spread in this country was indicated
in the opinion of Mr.. Wilsey, by the
fact that 50 Of the 1S6 pupils did not
know the truth about the Lusitania, 81
did not know that Germany had offered
Mexico portion of the territory Of the
United States if she would attack Us
l09 were badly misinformed as to the
situation in Russia, 122 did not know
that it was untrue that the United
States had sent only 10000 soldiers tc
France. and 35 did not know that Japan
