Remember---Saturday Why NOT German __ There ought to be no need of explaining why the Ger- man language must NOT be taught in American schools— even tho P. P.

We teach foreign languages in American schools be- " cause we expect the pupils to make some USE of them. ; one It is obvious that the languages they can use most will the languages most widely distributed. The languages ost widely distributed, next to English, are Spanish and French. Furthermore, our nearest neighbors are people who speak Spanish and a eT *® French. It is nonsense to teach Ger Yes, there are a few ‘man in the schools—unless we more people in the world ‘expect a German victory. speaking German than speak 3 either Spanish or French; but the German-speakers are confined to a restricted district in central Europe; the lan- guages of the new democracies in America and elsewhere English, or Spanish, or French—or Portuguese in one "If we expect that these free nations, our present our future partners, will drop their.speech and adopt man, we then must expect that Germ&n influence will tte these democracies—which would mean that Ger- influence would dominate the world. And that won't happen! , Therefore, the teaching of German as a foreign tongue rn ference to Spanish and French is not only unpatriotic, nonsensical. : The future of the world is in the hands of democracies. The language of the Hun is a back-number. s now pay the United States $10,- 000,000 a month interest on war loans, and within a year ‘the monthly return ll be $40,000,000, which a few months ago would have been considered a tidy sum, but is now only pin money.
