ot _ “STAR SPANGLED BANNER” IS CUT IN SCHOOL BOOKS Third Stanza of Great National Anthem Omitted in Version Printed in His- ‘tories Used in Elementary Grades of Public and Parochial Schools. Tt would seem that the fads and fan- (les of the public-school curriculum ave come to Include the national an- them, “The Star Spangled Banner,’ In Pieces. This has been brought to light | through the heat of the controversy mow raging around the present course | of study in the elementary grades, The Gaelic-American, a representative Week- ly publication in this city, has directed attention to the mangled version of Franols Scott Key's immortal stanzas ‘which 19 in the hands of the children of mot only the public schodla but the paroch!a! schools, Perhaps tho writer in the Geelio- American 19 correct in the assumption that the propaganda for an Angilo- American alliance is behind the emascu- Yated versions of “The Star Spangled Banner,” and it !s not unilkely that he may be mistaken, but, nevertheless, in- Yestigation to-day established these facts: In “A History Reader for Ele- Mentary Schools,” edited by L. L, W, ‘Wileon, Ph. D., published by Macmillan & Co,, and in use by the pupils of the Dublo schools of this olty there is printed what purports to be @ complete version of “The Ster Spangled Banner," but from which the third stansa has been omitted, There ts no footnote ex- platning this or indication by asterisks or other typographical marking that the whole anthem is not contained on Pages 8 and 8%, . Left Out of This Reader, In @ fourth peader of the “Columbus Gertes,"" belonging to the course of atudy im the elementary grades of 8t. Joseph's Washington Place School, the anthem is printed on pages 887 and 58, with the third stansa again emascu- lated, but with tts absence noted by aaterieke, There is no footnote, how- ever, explaining the reason for its omta- pion, This book ts edited by W, T.
