GERMAN A WAR
STUDY IN GNU.
Technical Value of Enemy
Tongue Upheld by the
War Department.

Despite popular protest against the
study of the German language.
courses in German will be offered
members of the George Washington
University unit of the Students Army
Training Corps. Not only have the
German courses heen approved by the
War Department. but students desir-
ing to specialize in technical subjects
of military value will have pointed
out to them the importance of pursu-
ing the study of the language.
officials of the university and of
the War Department share the Opin-
ion of Philandcr P Claxton. United
States Commissioner of Education,
that the ban should not be put on
the study of German In higher insti-
tutions of learning. These officials
argue that it is entirely possible for
mature students to study German and
at the same time despise Kaiserism.
Has Scientific Value.
The study OF German is regarded
as important for those students pre-
pairing to enter the intelligence de-
partment of the army. And Ger
man likewise is essential to teChni-
cal students, especially those special
izing in chemistry. engineering ami
medicine, for many technical works
of great scientific value are in Ger
man and have not yet been trans
lated.
The German classes at the uni
versity this year are expected to be
the largest in the history of the uni
versity. Last years classes, strange
to say, were larger than those of
any previous year. and for a while
officials were at a loss to explain
the growth in the face OF the wave
of hysteria against the study Of the
Language. 1t is realized now that
the increased demand for technically
trained persons-who must neCessar-
lily be acquainted with scientific Ger
man-was the proper explanation

5W COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER

ff. nal summing up of the ex
pense account in connection with the
grading If the road on Jones hill re-
veais an amount about 100 per cent
In ey ss of all estimates furnished
the County Court prior to the begin
ming Of work. The Court called for
estimates on this job and got figures
fir m hlr Baldock. engineer in charge
of Wort here and attached to the
Sta Highway Commission. His first
figN sa ggested that the work could
be done for around $4,000 and later
he regisad his figures and gave the
CCr"f d estimate around $4,000,
and the work was authorized. Since
the grading is completed, Baldock
comes in with the figures of cost
amounting to s25,05426 for 3.22
mics of grading on the Jones hill.
The Court raises no question re,
garding the work. The job has been
well done and is pronounced by those
who should konw, one of the best
pieces Of work in the entire county.
The sore spot with the Court seems
to be the great cost. They acted in
the best of faith in going into the
work, and were advised continually
by the engineer that the job was be-
ing performed within the bounds of
his estimate, therefore the nearly
100 per cent increase has given the
Court a severe shock. They have
right to feel that they were some
what buncoed by the engineer and
led to wonder if the State Highway
Commission will have no better man
on the job here to assist in carrying
on the work in the future. Surely
man that can not come closer to
what a job of work of this kind
should cost when completed than this
one did, ought to be in some other
line of business.
Some S6S,000 was spent in road
work this season in grading and ma
cadamizing of roads, the greater por-
tion of which was ON the line of the
State Highway through Heppner, and
the county will get back $4,000 of
this sum, being the amount advanced
on behalf Of the state. The program
for the coming year, ON the part of
the State Highway Commission calls
for the completion of the Columbia
Highway across the north end of
Morrow county, a distance of "a
miles. For this work the county will
expend $4,000 and the State will
complete the job, having allowed
$4,000 for this purpose. The High
way Commission has also given to
this county $4,000 additional which
will be used for hardsurfacing the
mileage already graded and macad-
amized Just how much further the
county will go with this class of work
the coming year will be left to the
new court to decide.
We trust the new court may be
spared in its labors of road building
the faulty estimates under which the
retiring court has had to work. But
We are ready to give the retiring
members all credit, Notwithstanding
of having begun good work and
trust that it will be continued just
as fast as possible, that the county
may eventually have system of
good highways.
