Addressed to the board the petition,

Whereas the English language Is
spoken in every seaport.
Germany and her language has
forfeited the respect of Christian ma
tions by her inhuman warfare.
America is fighting to keep our
shores free from German menace and
make the world safe for democracy.
"America's school children. with
trust in God and loyalty to our coun-
try forever, believe the English
language and customs will be the
standard for all Christian nations.
Therefore, we demand that Ger
man and praises of Germany be
dropped from our books"
John Riggles. of SeabroOk. Md,
president of the Democratic Club
there. is father of the petition. Sew
eral members OF the Board of Educa-
ton have said they would vote for
