artificial language is likely to ever de-
velop to supply such necessity. On
the other hand, English is supported
for such position, first, by ease with
which it is learned; second, the lit
erature which appeals to the educated
Of all the world; third, character of
the AnglO-SaXOn people in trade abil-
ity which compels inter-communica
ton; and fourth, the spread of this
language through the agencies Of
commerce, which has already made it
the vernacular in two great national
tiles and the second language in much
of the world.
Our own country has long been
known as the greatest training field
for the spread of this tongue. At a
very early period we adopted the COM
mon-school system. and later made
public education compulsory. To our
land come almost every nationality of
the earth, bringing with them their
own vernacular. AT an early period
many of these vernaculars were the
only language spoken by them. But
through the agency of the public
schools English entered these homes,
and in many, if not most, cases in time
entirely supplanted the native tongue.
One by one the language of the immi-
grant gave way to the language of the
country of adoption. In this way this
country has become a great training
place for the spread of English in
other lands.
For some years there has been grow
ing up a strong sentiment not only
to make English the language in the
public schools, but to refuse the use
of public funds to teach any other.
This sentiment is grounded upon the
growing belief that by immigration
dangerous dogmas are being imported
into the country and promulgated
through foreign tongue.
During the World war this fear was
greatly augmented and gave a new i'm
petus to demand for English as the
one language TO be taught. There is
a cultural value in the study, of other
languages which will not be underes-
timated
The position of the United States
before the world, linked with the pow
er and influence of the British empire
III all matters international, will gen.
crate new impetus for making Eng
lish the diplomatic language as it has
long ago become the commercial Ian
guage of the world The recent arms
conference in Washington is a COM
ment upon this statement.
With the inevitable cumulative i'm
portance of economic America to the
world, her far-reaching influence on
the spread of popular government
among other peoples which demands
greater regard for popular education,
the language spoken by the citizens Of
the republic, representing almost every
nation of the earth, will be further
stimulated through self-interest Of the
nations associated with us.
International trade is an established
accomplishment. Such trade is most
largely under the direction of the ma
lions who speak English. AS this COM
merce expands throughout the world
so will the language of commerce
grow, until it may become the world
language It's growth is one of the
phenomena of modern civilization.

NEED FAITH AND CONFIDENCE
Positions Open for Newly Trained
Victims of Word War Before
They Are Ready.

That the rehabilitated World war
veterans success in life depends
absolutely upon his faith in himself,
is the assertion of MGj. w. f. Lent.
chief of the employment service OF
the United States veterans bureau
which has in charge the proper train
ing of thousands of disabled service
men.
Major Lent, in speaking before the
headquarters staff of the American
Legion in Indianapolis, said that the
Legion and the Legion Auxiliary had
as one of their greatest obligations
the task of instilling into the hearts
Of service men an absolute faith and
confidence in themselves and their
abilities to cope with life's problems.
He said that the government is to
have a place for every veteran three
or four months before the veteran
is ready to take it. eve do not
guarantee that a man who has studied
to be a factory superintendent will
be placed in that position" the major
explained, "but he will be placed in
the path so that he can obtain such
a position through his own initiative
and ability.
I'VE want employers to understand,
too, that these men are no longer
cripples. They may be physically
crippled, but not industrially or vo-
cationally. When we put a man
with one arm into job, he is as well
able, and perhaps more so, to do that
particular work as is the man with
two arms"

At last the couple stood before the

land and Southern Africa. 1t is the
leading foreign language, or what
might be styled as the second Ian
guage in western Europe outside of
the British isles, Mexico, southern
South America, portions of south and
eastern Africa, and the oriental coun-
tries, including China and Japan. 1t
is spoken to some extent, but not as
a second language in Russia, the
Near East countries, India, west coast
of South America, and the islands Of
the sea. 1t has reached the "Seven
Seas" of classical history. It's COM
parative growth compels admiration.
Reports by scholars show that in
1900 there were from 150,000,000 to
160,0OO,OOS people speaking English. A
conservative statement made not long
ago asserts that more than 150,O00,000
people speak the English, 1200O0,0O0
the German 90,O000O0 the Russian,
100000 the French, 100000 the
Spanish, and 100000 of each ItaI-
ian and Portuguese. When consid-
cred in percentage of growth, the Eng
lish has surpassed all other languages.
If the rate of growth since the year
1906 is continued, it is estimated that
by the end of the present century there
will be 1,1OO,OOO,OOO people speaking
the language.
In view of this expansion the ques-
ton is at once raised whether English
&C., 10 a 10
Brander Matthews one of the best au-
thOrities on the subject, believes that
a world language may be possible. He
also believes that it will not be either
the French or the German. With him
most of the scholars of the day agree.
The French has had its chance and
has failed. The German, although
very vigorous tongue, as shown by
it's growth, Is not a contender for the
place. The English more than doubles
the French and is far beyond the Ger
man; it's expansion in the last century
is quite remarkable.
1t is supported by two of the most
energetic determined, and enterpris-
ing nationalities of history nations
best designed for linguistic growth. 1t
possesses elements of growth not pos
sessed by other languages. 1t is
combination of Romance and Teu-
tonic tongues. These go to the peo-
pie who speak rather than the lam
guage spoken.
The Anglo-Saxons are less tied to
the soil. Like the Hebrew, he is
more given to enterprise which seeks
new lands. AS a world trader his
wares are found in every part of the
world. Modern industrialism by aid
of the agencies of communication are
making the world but neighborhood.
The application of electricity permits
the resident of Hongkong to read at

vented in 1879 by Schleyer
of Baden. It's roots were borrowed
from the Romantic, Germanic and Eng
lish languages, and the photography
was strictly phonetic. 1t had some
vogue up to the '90s.
Esperanto, another artificial interna,
tional language, is still going con-
Germ. 1t was announced in 1887 in
brochure by DR.. l.. L. Zamenhof of
Warsaw. 1t has been introduced as
an international auxiliary language in
commerce, in science, in travel, in in
ternational conventions, in schools
and in literature. 1t is constructed
from elements largely common to the
Aryan tongues. It's grammar is abSo-
lutely regular. The pronunciation and
photography are simple and phonetic.
Esperanto seems to be making prog
ress. Twelve foreign governments
were officially represented at the sixth
international Esperanto congress in
Washington. More than 100 periodi-
calls in Esperanto are now being pub
lshed.

The house of representatives the
other day was considering a joint res
olution approving the holding of an
exposition in Philadelphia as an appro-
pirate celebration of the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary in 1926 of the
Declaration of Independence. Repre-
sentative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, in
discussing the resolution, had some in
teresting things to say concerning the
growth of English as a world-language
He made these points, among others:
The remarkable fact is the growth
of the English language since the Dec
laration of Independence, especially
where compared with other languages.
There are more than 15O,OOO,OOO peo-
pie throughout the world who are to-
day speaking the English language.
It is heard in every civilized country
In the world, including the islands of
the sea. Ii is difficult to accurately
state the number with any degree of
eXactnesS. One of the most remark
able observations to be made is in the
Orient, where in various centers you
cannot only hear the English Ian
guage spoken today, but you can read
publications printed in English for
perusal by the inhabitants, some of
whom do not read the ancient lam
guage of their native country, while
many of the educated natives have
learned to both read and speak Eng
liSh.'
The time is already here when Eng
lish has not only become the CONNER
cial language of the world, but it is
rapidly becoming the diplomatic Ian
guage, and will continue to be more
so rs the days come and go.
The growth of this language is one
of the most phenomenal things, not
only in the history of ethnology, but in
the history of civilization.
