THE LANGUAGE or THE COUNTRY

western Canaoa mas a perplexang problem in the
presence in that country Of colonies of Mennonites; who
ont only use among themselves the foreign language to
which they have been accustomed. but refuse to have
their children instructed in English. In the province of
Saskatchewan the legislature recently passed a school at
tendance act requiring the attendance Of all children at
schools whose courses are approved by the public author
tiles, and making the study of English compulsory in all
cases. Mennonites have threatened that If this law IS on
forced they will leave the country. and the premier has
declared that the law will certainly be enforced. and that
while he would regret the departure from the province
of a class Of people who had shown the agricultural thrift
which has characterized the Mennonites, it was tmpu,-
sible to sanction a condition under which children grew
up in ignorance of the language Of the country. living. as
a result, an isolated life under which they could not pos
sibly be Canadianized.
The same problem presents itself in this country. and
1t should be met in the same way. A common language
is indispensable to a common citizenship. People who
|habitually speak the same language naturally tend to
|gravitate together. and to form groups from which others
are excluded. The tendency is undeniable and inevitable,
and where the language Of the group is different from
that OF the community at large, there isrcreated a class
consciousness and a class exclusiveness which extends into
every field Of thought and every activity of life.
The English language is the language of the United
States. and the people of the United States must be made
to understand it. Moreover. there must be more than a
formal understanding Of the language. To the American
the language Of the country must be his language. the
language in which he thinks, and that in which he will
instincdvely express himself. There ought not to be,
nor IL there at all likely to be. any obstacle placed in the
way Of the study and use Of any language that the tndi-
vidual desires to employ. But il we are to remove the
race segregation which IL a menace to our citizenship, ev-
cry other language must be secondary to English.
It is admitted that there are a good many citizen.
to whom the use of English has not become second ma
ture. but their relative unfamiliarity with the Language
Of the land in which they live has been a constant handi-
cap to them and has impeded their progress toward that
full fellowship to which every true American must as.
pire. It Is an obstacle which, IL they are wise, they win
seek to remove from the way Of their own children.

relit the lamp and closed the window
against the storm. Then the two
stood facing each other across the
little table, and there was still that
evil smile upon Breck's face; that

significance of which Adam was at a

to speak.

He jerked his head in the direction
of the door to PEARLS room. Adam
shook his head.

added questioningly:

Allen. well since you are certain

door, ignoring what she had said. He
opened the door, part way, and for q
moment stood at the sill, his arm still
supporting her dropping figure.

morning things will look brighter;

She raised her swimming eyes to

hurt and the sorrow burning in them,
that something of that deep pity
which is akin to love stirred in Adam.
and impulsively he bent and kissed
her on the brow, as gently az though
she had been a tired child. AT that
instant the storm broke. A crash OF
thunder rent the air, shahing the
little house as though a bomb had
burst above it. With 4 a frightened
cry, Pearl clutched at Adam, and for
La moment they stood embraced,
parAlyzed by the sudden cannonade,
and the rifle volley Of rain that fol-
lowed,t striking the low root with a
fierce assault. The very earth seemed
to heave and sway with the shock of
the impact, and the onrushing wind
blew the easement open wide. At the
first fierce gust of wind the lamp was
e~xtinguished, and at the same instant
there came a burst of sardonic laugh
ter which filed the room, uncanhy
and terrible on the heels of the storm
burst.
"My love, I am afraid!"> cried Pearl.
!" But Adam disentangled himself and
pushed her into her room, closing the
door behind her.
The laughter began again. 1t Seemed
f1endish in the darkness, and all that
! Adam could tell al that it was ac-
tually in the room. For an instant he
stumbled about, cropping for a light.
Damn it all, where are the
matches!,",. he exclaimed.
The laughter ceased abruptly, and a
flare, cupped in someone's hands, ap-
peared in the entrance door.
Happy to oblige you, my dear fell
low!" said a suave voice. And Breck-
enridge Allen advanced into the room,
smiling. "
