FAIR WRITE-UP

The promised column story of
Vashon-Maury island in the Sc
attle Times booster edition of last
Sunday dwindled to about half
that space. However, it was very
fair and will undoubtedly be of
some benefit. This demonstrates
the necessity Of compiling sum
mary of the islands resources and
always having it ready for use.

Rev. 5. A. Icisck Makes Appeal
at Dinner Of Rotary Club

In an address before the New Brit
ain Rotary club at the regular lunch
con held this noon at the Elks' club
on Washington street. Rev. Stanley A.
Icicck. a member OF the organization,
urged the American people to teach
the English language In all private as
well as public schools In the country
but not TO take away the privilege OF
teaching foreign languages In the same
schools.
He said that In some parts OF the
United States bills had been passed
which prohibit the teaching OF cer-
tain foreign languages In the public
schools and OF all foreign languages In
private schools.
This should not be the speaker as
serted, as languages are valuable
asset and many people who come to
this country as immigrants would not
be able to study and learn the prin-
ciples and policy of the United States
government II they were not taught
such in their own tongue.
The speaker also touched upon the
European situation and his talk was
roundly applauded by the members OF
the club.
