ever, it will never be able to overcome
the immense majority attained by the
French and Spanish languages during
the war. Particularly the French.
French and Spanish Lead
'1 remember when we had twice as
many students as the French depart
ment, and vet now their teaching force
alone is nearly double the strength of
ours, while there are at least 700 more
students in the French department. In
Spanish the gain is not so great.
During the war students previously
taking German dropped it and took up
Spanish The majority, especially In
the Towne Scientific School found it
not fitting to their needs, and when
this semester opened their names may
once more be found on the German
roll.
1.-The same is true of students en-
tering from high schools. When the
study of the German language was
abolished in the schools many dropped
it reluctantly With the war over and
the question of patriotism no longer
an issue the students are rapidly COM
ing back to German after unsuccessful
ventures in French and Spanish.
More German Instruction
'1t is. after all, a pity that the war
should have affected the enrolment in
such a manner because, with the ex-
ception of a few commercial purposes,
Spanish will prove useless to the stu
dent while the Teutonic tongue is al
ways valuable scientifically"
Registration figures made public by
DR.. Schumway tend to prove the truth
of his remarks. In 1916-17, just be-
fore the outbreak of the war. German
reached the height of its popularity
at the university, with total enroll
ment of 1875. With the declaration of
war in April, 1917. the number of stu
dents entering the courses in German
fell off to 710 in the fall of that year,
and then to Gil in the early part of
1918. The decline followed rapidly
until it reached low ebb last year with
only SIS.

fact that 1 have just slept between

cloths, instead of between sheets, al
though guest at one of the best hotels
in Prague, is some indication of the
cotton shortage here.
The tablecloths are only one adVen-
ture in bed linen, out of several. A few
nights before in Pilsen, home OF beer
and the Skoda gun works. the hotel
managed to find one sheet to go under
me, but none to go above. Instead
there was a huge feather bed much
longer than the bedstead. under which
struggled all night for breath.
The night before that, in Prague, had
been different, though quite as sheetless
as the one in Pilsen. There had again
been one sheet below and none above.
Instead there was above little thin
brown cottonwood blanket. neither long
enough nor wide enough to reach the
ends or edges of the bedframe. 1t just
lay there, like a little rug. with a rim
of cold uncovered bed all around 1t.
Everybody in the hotel slept under over
coats that night.

Count Freedom Worth Cost
But here the average is estimated
from 500 to 1000 per cent. And even at
