National Education
Board Says German
May Still Be Taught

A reply from the national bureau Of
education, Washington, to the Chamber
of Commerce here. shows that the edu-
caiional authorities there are not in
favor of completely eliminating all so
called cultural" language studies from
high school curriculumS.
At a Denver educational meeting
several weeks ago, a newspaper report
was sent out that the meeting rep
resentrng educators OF prominence, had
adopted resolution that Latin, Greek
German and Spanish should not be
taught in high schools during the war
period and that instead French should
be substituted and become the pre-
domincnt foreign language study
The Chamber OF Commerce secretary
wrote to learn the views Of the bureau
of education on this idea The reply
states that Spanish should certainly
not be barred from schools on account
of the great volume OF commerce and
trade which it seems likely United
States may enjoy with South America
The reply goes far enough to say that
American children should have their
lessons taught them in English but that
it is probable in time to come, German
must be resumed as study for com
mereial and military reasons

HARRISBURG TO
BESHOWN YANKS
City Is to Figure in Picture
looks" Prepared For
Men at Front

The notable civic achievements OF
Harrisburg are to be brought to the
attention of the American soldier in
the trenches OF France through the
medium OF attractive lantern slides
Commerce at the request of the Ma
tional War Work Council of the
Young Mems Christian Association. it
was announced to-day.
Harrisburg will be the center of
the plan to bring to the American
soldier in France pictures of his
homeland. The American Civic AS
socistioR, of which J. Horace McFar-
land is president, has assumed the
task OF assembling and shipping these
slides to France and the set for Har-
rlsburg Is being prepared by Mr.. Nc
Farland at the request of the board
OF directors of the Chamber.
To Cheer the Soldier
1t is known that our American SOL
diers in their hours off duty are in
tensely interested in cheerful things
relating TO the homeland. For this
reason the National War Work CouR-
ell of the Young Mems Christian As
sociation has undertaken TO provide
these slides. which will be known as
"Picturelooks" 1t is believed that
not only these pictures will be pleas
ing TO our men over there, but
that they will, II properly selected
and commented upon. provide a most
valuable educational influence.
The man from Harrisburg who
sees not only "Pictureiook' of the
beautiful SuSquehanna river, but SIM
CO and of the Pacific coast or of the
open country or of the Rocky noun
tains, gains a new and better concep-
tion of the great country TO defend
which he has put his life in jeopardy.
Similarly, the opportunity given to To-
cal committees TO set before hundreds
Of thousands OF selected husky Amer
leans the best things characteristic OF
any particular region in the United
States is one which hardly needs to be
commented upon.
No Danger of OversuppIy
The actual demand for these slides
exceeds zoo 600 items, so that there is
no present danger OF an oversupply.
The "Picturelooks" will be used far
beyond the reach of any moving pic
ture outfit, for il is known that sets
of slides are taken into the dugouts
Immediately back OF the fringline to
help pass the hard hours of confine-
ment in the trenches. 1t is not i'm
probable that some of the slides may
he captured. as Y. NJ c. A. huts have
been captured in the 1915 spring Of
fensive. Surely they will do no harm
TO Germany.
It is said that the French and Brit
ish soldiers are also greatly interest
ed in the "Picturelooks," so that they
may easily come TO do double service.
a manuscript in explanation of the
pictures will accompany each set of
slides.
The views Of Harrisburg will prob
ably be sent to France with the next
shipment. which is TO be made about
August 1.
