ABOLISH GERMAN!

of Girard, Ohio, as a substitute for
the German language. Mt. Vernon
already has domestic science and
manual training, but does not teach
that most useful and practical Ian.
guage-French
1t Is an interesting commentary on
German propaganda in the United
States that the teaching of the Teu.
tonic tongue in high schools of this
country is so widespread-tha is. it
has been widespread until this war
when boards of education suddenly
realized the perniciousness of the
system. the greater value of the
French tongue and proceeded to abol-
ish German from the schools.
Very shortly, the board of educa.
tion of Mt. Vernon will start to lay
plans for next year. 1t will be Wit
al mistake on the part of this body if
these plans do not include the aboli-
tiCn of German and the substitution
in lieu thereof of either French or
Spanish
