GERMAN SHOULD NOT BE
TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

From an article read recently /
note the following:
An official bulletin of the bureau
of education asserts that there are
1000. 900 foreign-born white residents
of the United States who cannot speak
the English language. The total for
eign-born white population is about
16, 100000 There Is manifestly need
for the American civilization move
ment BY every practical means the
government and the people of the
United States should provide oppor-
tunity for the immigrant to learn the
language spoken in this country and
should insist that he learn IT,"
Ultimately. there should be no ex-
cuse for foreign language newspa-
per published in the United States.
How would this be best accomplish
ed?
Should not the work begin in our
schools? Thirty years ago agents OF
the kaiser. who has been PERMIT
TED by the GERMAN government to
become naturalized citizens of the
United States, began campaign to
win America to Germany through the
schools.
Their first step was to have laws
enacted by the legislature OF various
states providing that on petition OF n
small numer (ten) of guardians or
parents OF children of school age. Ger
man should be made part of the cur
ricutum OF the public schools.
The next step OF the German gov
ernment was to induce students In our
colleges and universities to finish
their education in Germany. where
they absorbed German kultur. These
students returned to the United States
and entered our universities and our
schools as teachers. Many OF them
proc Germans Did these teachers tend
to Americanize our Germans or did
they Germanize our Americans? Our
schools today are infested with Ger
man teachers. Ever since the United
States declared war on Germany. out
and out Americans have lodged com
plants with the school board regard
ing the activities and disloyal utter
ances OF teachers OF the grade and
high schools.
Our pro-German teachers give for
their reason for teaching German.
They want their pupils to have ac-
cess to the best of literature.

TAKING LIBERTY LOAN BONDS IN
TRADE.

81 hope that the merchants of the
country, upon a more careful consid-
Grafton of the subject, will -iscontinue
their eforts to sell merchandise and
take Liberty Loan bonds in payment :"
says Secretary Meade.
The secretary states that he has no
doubt that merchants offering to take
Liberty Loan bonds in exchange for
merchandise are actuateu by patriot
ic motives, but that such transactions
tend to defeat a primary object of
bond sales, as they discourage thrift
and increase expenditures. Bonds so
taken in exchange in most cases are
Immediately sold in the open market
which tends to suppress the market
price and adversely affects the sales of
future issues
The strongest efforts are made by
the treasury department to have these
government bonds purchased for per-
manent investigation by the people
and paid for out of savings, thus not
only providing funds for the govern
ment, but efecting conservation of
labor and material; exchanging them
for merchandise therefore defeats this
purpose.

The city council of Paonia has pub

same practice exists to certain ex-

It seems to be freely conceded that
the presidents influence was large
factor in producing the favorable
vote for the suffrage amendment in
the house of representatives. His in
fluence. of course, was with the mem
bers of his own party. The vote
showed 104 Democrats voting for suf-
frage and 1O2 Democrats voting
against it. The majority for suffrage

thirds of one vote. We do not know
whether these figures are to be TAX

influence or not. They are fairly

THE WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON

November 25. 1917
To the members of the local and dis
trict boards: You have now practi-
cally completed the great work of
selecting the first contingent of the
national army. Upon you was de-
volved the difficult task of selecting
those who can best serve with the
battle flags from those whose duties
and responsibilities require that they
serve at home.
The successful performance of this
duty has undoubtedly brought to you
a proud satisfaction in the privilege
to serve the nation in the hour OF
need. Commendation can add little to
such satisfaction. but would not be
true to my own feelings did l not eN-
tend this expression OF gratitude to
you for the success OF this great
achievement.
Many members of the boards have
felt that they should render this ser
vice without compensation and as
testimonial of such action l have di-
rected a copy of this letter bearing
notation of such service be sent in
dividually to those who have thus so
generously served.
