The days that used to be
When porterhouse was eighteen cents
And soup bones given free;
When milk was five cents by the quart
And butter twenty-four,
And bacon fifteen cents a pound
In those brave days of yore.

When one could hire a maid
For three or four or five week,
And when she came, she stayed:
But now they are a naughty clan
Who cost you eight or nine.
Who come to you at ten o'clock
And then at noon-resign.
I rem en- Der, I remember
When gentle working men
Would come whene'er you asked
them to
For life was simpler then;
But now, although your pipes arc
burst,
And troubles leave you vexed,
You cannot get bit of help
Until week after next

And coal men sought your trade;
But now the times are altered,
And there is little JOY
In thinking of how cheap things were
When I was but boy!

Much has been spoken and written
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of eliminating
the teaching, of~aerman from the cur
riculum of our institutions of learn
ing. Those who advocate its reten-
ton point out that we are at war with
the Germans and not with their Ian
guage, white their adversaries main
tain that everything German should be
abolished, at least for the duration of
the war.
For our part, we are inclined to
agree with those who wish to see
every trace of Germanism removed
from our midst. There is no weighty
reason in the world why German
should be spoken OF taught in the
United States today. One of the best
ways to- eliminate the evils which
spring from a misguided race is by
stamping out the tongue through
which those evils are propogated.
Again, it ought not to be commended
that, because the Germans still per-
nit the teaching of English in their
schools, we should tolerate the Ger
man in ours. The Germans study
English for several reasons. First,
because it has for a long time been
the language of the alleged cultured
classes in Germany The nobility
used it almost exclusively. And the
German business man knows that he
cannot compete with his English or
American rival in foreign fields of
commerce unless he can speak their
language. But it is quite another
thing with US. We are not seeking
for trade in industrial fields where
German is spoken. We do not con-
slider 1t an acquisition TO culture to be
able to speak the German language.
The very name German is so OBJ
noxious to the cultured mind today
that it amounts to an adherence.
And what is abhorrent deserves con-
domination.
There are SO many useful, practi-
cal and patriotic endeavors in which
our students can be engaged today
that it seems a pity for them to waste
their time studying German
