TEACHING AMERICANISM
Yerv wiselv, the board of education of New ^ ork City
has decided to exclude German, and all other foreign lan
guages. from the elementary schools. German will be
taught in the high schools along with French. This is
proper, for the desirability of learning German has not
been affected by the war. It is a great language and will
so continue. Abolishing German from high schools, as
was done, for instance, at Los Angeles, is silly. Germany
will not be so silly as to abolish the teaching of English.
But teaching German or any other foreign language
in the primary schools, is a different matter. New York,
Chicago and other large centers are polyglottic cities. The
New York World is authoritv for the statement that most
of the children in that city are descendants of foreign
born residents, and one of the great educational difficult
ies grows out of the fact that so many of the pupils must
be taught the English language before they can be taught
anything else. To complicate this instruction with in
struction in other languages hampers the most important
work of primary schools.
With the teaching of English there should go hand in
hand the teaching of Americanism, and no teacher should
tie employed who is not fully competent to teach American
ism, and what applies to New York City applies to every
other city in the United States. The metals in our great
melting pot have not been as well fused as we imagined

STEEL INDUSTRY SUFFERING.
It is discouraging to note that the steel industry, so
lecessarv to the war,-has been hit harder in the last few
.veeks by coal shortage and lack of transportation than at
any time since the European war started. The Wall
street Journal, which is careful in collecting statistics,
-ays that the leading iron and steel districts are operating
at only a little more than 50 per cent of their capacity.
Many steel mills and furnaces have shut down on account
of lack of fuel and others are working on part time.
Both causes for the deplorable condition could have
, been avoided. Cities could have been supplied during the
summer months with normal stocks of coal for domestic
use, and the winter output could have been devoted to
steel and other manufactures needed for the war. But
ihe production and distribution of coal, most unfortunate
ly, were in the hands of a theorist, clothed with power, who
imagined that an abundant supply of coal for all purposes
could he mined and hauled by fiat. Dr. Garfield is the
type of man who might be entrusted with economic prob
lems in peace times, but war times call for men in big jobs
who have had wide experience, who can see an embarrass
ing situation long in advance and can prepare for it, and
who have the driving force. This is no time for dreamers
for we must have big men who are able to get things done.
It doesn’t seem quite right that New York saloons had
an abundant supply of coal when school houses had to
close for lack of fuel.
