TEACHING ;
GERMAN i
_
NEW YORK, Feb., 11,— A nation
wide campaign is being conducted by
the American Defense Society to elim
nato the teaching of German in the j
schools throughout the United States. •
In a letter written the principals o '
public schools, private schools and !
colleges throughout the country the
Society urges that French, Italian,
Spanish and Russian should be giveo
prominence in the curriculm with
a view to strengthening trade relat
ions between these countries. Th£ let - j
ter which is signed by Dr. William T
Hornaday, reads:
“Reports are rife tha\ with the end
ing of the war there is to be an at- j
tempt to force upon our American j
youth a language of the people whoso*j
hands are stained with the blood of j
their fathers and brothers. The Gei- j
man language has been U9ed as a
weapon directed at the heart of Amer
ica by German propagandists. It is th*‘
opinion of many of our prominent ed
ucators that German is not an essent
ial in any course of study, and It is
to be hoped that our American ybuth
will not permit its being forced Upon
them for any reason whatsoew*. Tho
next five years will witness a crystall
ization of educational opinion and up
on that crystallization will depend the
future of American education.
“For those who would study a lan
guage for its future utility the choice
lies between French, Spanish, Italian
and Russian as our trade relations
with these countries will be immeasur
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.”
