Study of German
Dropped by More
Schools i'm Nation
Security Leagues Crusade
Forces Teuton Literary
Clubs to Disband

German is gradually being excluded
from the public schools of the United
States, principally through the efforts
of the National Security League. which
is carrying on crusade against the
teaching of the Teutonic tongue OF
ideals.
The league announced yesterday that
1T is carrying on campaigns in every
state, and, through the establishment
of 281 branches and the active CO.
operation of school authorities, has
effected the abolition of German in
struction in many sections, together
with the disbanding of German musical
and literary clubs
In Philadelphia the study of German
has been abolished in all the high
schools, and in New Jersey the State
Board of Education has requested all
district superiNtendents to instruct the
teachers under them to substitute
Spanish for German wherever possible.
Students in all parts of the country
are cooperating where the study Of
German is selective.
In some sections the number of stu
dents in German has been voluntarily
reduced as much as 81 per cent.
The Security League combines with
its anti-German crusade efforts to OBJ
tain increased teaching along patriotic
education lines. This has resulted, in
New York, South Dakota and Texas, in
the passage of laws making the teach
ing of patriotism and citizenship man
datory in the public schools.
1s<~L
the Passaic, N. j., Board of Edu-
cation. and civic secretary of the Sc
curity League, has communicated with
the presidents of all the state board )
of education and with every county
and district superintendent of schools
in the United States, asking for active
cooperation, which was assured by ALL
Payson Smith, Commissioner of Edu-
cation of Massachusetts, informed Miss
Leighton that German textbooks had
been eliminated from the schools of the
state, and Superintendent of Schools
William Young of Worcester reported
that the German classes there had been
reduced in the proportion of 5 to 2.
A. r. Spaid, Commissioner of Educa-
tior Of Delaware, has announced that
the teaching of German will be forbid
den in the public schools of the state
after the close of the present school
year.
In Pennsylvania Nathan C. Schaef.
fer, State Superintendent of Public In
struction, reported that the elimina.
tion of Objectionable textbooks is
being made and that the teaching OF
German is being dropped in many
schools.
Like reports were received from the
school superintendents of Providence
