WILL STOP TEACHING
 GERMAN

NEW YORK, Feb, It, A nation. wide campaign is being conducted by the American Defense Society to elim- nate the teaching of German in the schools throughout the United States. In letter WIT tten the principals O. public schools, private schools and colleges throughout the country the Society urges that French, Italian, Spanish and Russian should be given prominence in the curriculm with view to strengthening trade relat- ions between these countries. The let |. ter which is signed by pr. William T Hornaday, reads:
 Reports are rife that with the end- ing of the war there is to be an at tempt to force upon our American youth a language of the people whose hands are stained with the blood of their fathers and brothers. The Ger man language has been used as a weapon directed at the heart of Amer ica by German propagandists. It is tho opinion of many of our prominent ed ucators that German is not an essent- ial in any course of study, and 1t is to be hoped that our American youth will not permit its being forced upon them for any reason whatsoever. Tho next five years will witness Systall- ization of educational opinion and up on that specialization will depend the future of American education.
 "For those who would study Ian guage for it's future utility the choica lies between French, Spanish, Italian and Russian as our trade relations with these countries will be imneasur- ably increased now that peace is in sight. To study German would be to condone the atrocities perpetrated by the people who speak this language
