There is one great advantage about keeping both glass and film negatives In envelopes made of transparent pa per-that the negative can be look ed at and identified without taking 1t out of It's envelope. More negatives are damaged by being turned over to find some particular one than by the lapse of time, and the transparent en- velope protects them from injury from this source. A system of filing and cataloging, by which any negative re- quired can be found with a minimum of disturbance of the others, also tends to prevent damage.

COMMON LANGUAGE.

Al common language is the first con-
dition of a united people. If the mem
bers of a society cannot speak to one
another they cannot reach that com
mon understanding necessary to
democracy.
In the United States that common
language must be English. Because
not ali of our citizens can speak that
language and because of efforts made
to maintain civilization based upon
other languages, we now find our
selves divided in the midst of a great
war. In Wisconsin large part of our
present difficulties are due to the fact
that our common schools have taught
German to children who never learned
! English.
There is no good educational reason
for teaching a foreign language in the
grades. German was introduced and
has been maintained in Wisconsin
grade schools as part of that Ger
man propaganda which helped involve
the United States in this war and now
weakens our fighting power.
The law permitting the teaching of
German in the grade schools must be
repealed. This is not making war
upon language. 1t is only insisting
that the national language shall be
the first to be taught in our public
schools.
Many towns and cities in Wisconsin
have already abolished German in the
grades. But while the law remains
on the statute books, children in GER
tain communities will be introduced
to foreign language before they will
know the language of the nation in
which they must live. The law per-
hitting this must be repealed. The
first test of loyalty and Americanism
of every candidate for the legislature
this fall should be a pledge to vote
to repeal the law that permits the
German propaganda to go into our
schools and to divide our people.
