M'KELVIE TALKS
ON PROBLEMS OF
REORGANIZATION
Problems of Educating Foreign
ers Brought Before Con-
ference of Governors,

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 20
Especial Telegram. )-Problems OF
the middle western states, particular
ly of Nebraska and, to lesser ex-
tent, of Kansas, in dealing with
.Americanization work. were brought
before the conference of governors
when Gov. Samuel r. Mckelvie of
Nebraska told of some of the fca-
lures i'll the after the war educa-
tional problems in his state.
Governor Mckelvie told how Lit
tie Germanies," Little Swedens, Z"
Little Russias" and other colonies
had been established throughout his
state.
He described the part played by
the politicians who had persuaded
them that they had certain rights to
use their own language, and told of
conditions where public schools
were supported by such communities
and then not patronized, the people
sending their children, instead. to
private schools in which the Ian
SuaSe OF the native countries OF the
parents were used exclusively.
AS result, there was not entirely
united support for the war. Gov
ernor Mckelvie said many views had
been taken of this attitude. He did
not attribute it, however, to down.
right disloyalty, in most instances,
but to the fact that the people there
had been merely uninfo,rned, or mis-
informed, as to the issue at stake.
we had made the mistake" he
said, "of encouraging these people to
speak and understand principally
their own language.
Radical legislation has resulted,
and no foreign language is permitted
to be used in school, public or pri-
vate, previous to the ninth grade"
