Germans to Live in America.

One matter Of importance comes to
our attention through the public press.
A meeting of the pastors and teachers
of the German Lutheran church held
in Seward Nebraska, adopted resolu-
tons recommending the cessation of
instruction in the German language in
all parochial schools in the state "for
the duration of the war" This brings
to our notice the fact that all instruc-
ton in these schools has been con-
Quoted in the German language, and
none, or vitality none, in the Eng
lish language. 1t is said that there
are schools of this character also in
that "such schools as these are not
rearing American citizens, but Ger
mans who are to live in America,
and it thinks that "the conditions
such schooling creates have been re-
sponsible for much of the misunder-
standing and ignorance that have
made many American communities
centers of German influence in Ameri-
ca"

translated itself into action in many
parts of the country against this state
of affairs is best expressed perhaps by
the Dies Moines Capital:
Deception, intrigue, and cunning
will work for a time with the unso-
phisticated. This sort of thing has
been going On in the United States
for many years, but at last the mask
that has hidden the insidious German
propaganda that has been woven into
our whole educational system has
been lifted and the whole scheme is
being revealed in it's true light"
The inquiry which the Literary Di-
! gest submitted to over 1900 school
superintendent of the United States
comprised four questions. Regarding
these, that magazine says:
THE first was the direct question.
! Has German been dropped as Ian
Iguage- study in your schools?' The
second one asked if such an action
has been proposed. Where it had
been found that action had been TAX
en-, our next query endeaVored to de-
rive the reasons that had been as
| signed for dropping the study. The
| fourth question, which aimed to pierce
that rather indetinable sentiment re-
specting thing so widely under sus.
picion asked, What is the prevailing
attitude of mind in your town regard
ing it?' Something over LOO replies
were received, and of this number
fully 100 contained the information
that German had never been taught in
their schools, leaving about 1000 to
form the basis of our article"
A summary of the various answers
from the school superintendent,
grouped by states, is given by the Lit
erary Digest. Those from Iowa fol-

Keokuk Takes Kindly to Change in
Clocks In Which an Hour Of
Daylight 10
Gained.
THE FIRST WORKING DAY
whistles and Bells Operate on New
Time Scheme, and There is
Little Con-
fusion.

Keokuk began its first working
day on the new time schedule this
morning, and this afternoon the ad
ditional hour of sunshine for work in
the garden or for recreation will be-
come effective for the workers of the
city. Yesterday was hardly a fair
test of the new time scheme, since
Sunday is always more or less of "a
holiday.
Keokuk clocks went over Saturday
night, for the most part. Some of the
clocks were not changed until
o'clock Sunday morning. but this was
in places like the railroad stations
and the Mississippi River Power COM
pany's plant, where twenty-four hour
shifts are maintained, and the night
side set the clocks ahead at a m.
The change was accomplished with
practically no hubbub or blow. Father
yawned and stretched and allowed
that he had better set the clock ahead
and go to bed. None of the family
disagreed, SO father, yawning and
stretching, set the clock an hour
ahead and scampered off to bed. OF
course, the night owls noticed 1t
when they went to get up yesterday
morning. but then they get along on
a minimum Of sleep anyway, so what 5
the odds.
To persons who are competent to
tell time by the sun, the change is
going to bring the most difficulties.
They are going to be governed by
the sun, rather than the time, for
the present, and this of course, will
cause confliction. The person who
lives, sleeps, eats and dies by the
clock is not going to find any change
in his life.
Schedules Are Adjusted.
Railroad schedules into keokuK
ranged. Trains due to arrive here
under the old time, and which were
ON the way when the change was
made, were automatically marked an
hour late at o'clock by dispatchers.
The trains which were scheduled to
leave ct 3 o'clock and from then on
were all right. Train schedules are
running according to Hoyle today.
Street cars and interurbans wen
on the new schedules yesterday, and
no one would have been aware that
any change was made.
Churches and Sunday schools yes.
terday began their sessions accord
ing to the new time, and Keokuk
schools began their new daylight
schedules today. This new law
ought to be a life saver for athletics
in the schools, as it will give plenty
Of time after school for practice.
About the only difference that can
be noted is the fact that the birds
are singing about an hour later than
usual, since they are governed By
daylight, which comes an hour later
now but lasts an hour longer at night.
