Commissioner Klamoth referred to the fact that early in June the Superimtenaent bad called at tention to the imperfect manner in which German ‘Was taught in the schools, and stated that the re- port had received the careful study of the com, | mittee, He read tne resolutions appended to the Teport and urged their adoption, Commissioner Baker followed im a written Speecd, in which he attacked the teaching of Ger- map in the schools upon its merits. He opposed the revised course of instruction a8 maki woo grea: a wvemand upon the teacter: and leaving too little time ior other and more importaut studies. He thought the German language, however important it might de, bad not been nationalized, and argued that the purposes of our pubdite ‘schools suould be to Americanize the chiidren of joreign parents ip this country—to Americanize Germans ang not Ger- manize Americans. He referred to the advan- herein proposed to th German language be an they were not such as to make it of general DtLity, and therefore essential in our schoois, Commissioner Kiamoth, in response, sald Ger- man had been taught in our schools jor twenty years, and was originally the ontgrowth of a pop. ular demand. He regarded the question in its educatoial aspect, irom a practical point of view and in its effects upon the { Mery) children, who, he insisted, were Americanized 0; on atrendance upon the public schools, from which they would be withdrawn if their native lau was not taught, and be sent to exclusively German schogls, An extended discussion ivliowed, in which Commissioner Herring snowed that there were but twenty study hours in the -week, and that in devoupg two hours of each, week to German, | more time Was given to it than to any of the English branches. He “insisted that the teachers were unabie tocomply with the requirements of the course ol study ag rae laid down, which ‘eh the reason of che Gee sn berng. neglected in tue schools, He continued’at great length in oppost- tion to the report, and finally gave way to @ mo- on fo postpone the further consideration of the matter until the next meeting, which was carried, ‘The annual report of the Committee on the Normat School was presented, and, on motion of the Chairman, was laid onthe table and 1,500 copies ordered printed. ‘The Jomt Committee on Bylaws and Finance Teported the joliowing appointments :— Superintendent o!
