It is hardly necessary to say that
while printing Mr. Newton's outburst
concerning the German language the
Nebraskan does not indorse his senti
ments. Be the sins of Germany in the
present war what they may a more
narrow-minded and less effective
remedy could hardly be proposed than
that of depriving ourselves of the cul
ture to be obtained from a study of the
German language. Even if we should
grant the truth of Mr. Newton's claims
concerning German faults, what he
proposes would be a punishment to
ourselves instead of to Germany.
Undoubtedly the French language
also has a wealth of culture, but owing
to the large element of Germans in
the population, especially in the middle
west, there is an interest in the Ger
man language which it would be im
possible to arouse in any other. Why
should we abandon a cultural advan
tage which we possess for another
which would be impossible to acquire?
In commerce, in science, and in the
study of the world's great literature
the German language will long form an
essential part of our knowledge. It is
sincerely to be hoped that few of our
educators will favor its withdrawal
from our public school curriculum.

ABOLISH GERMAN IN

ularizin this belief, that three men
are responsible for the present war:
Nietzche taught it, Bernardi preached
it, and the kaiser applied it.
So we have a combination or a
company of organized murderers who
are responsible for the wholesale mur-
der of the Americans killed on the
Lusltiana.
The Question arises as to what we
Americans, whether born or naturaliz
ed, should do to show our sympathy
towards the brethren who were mur
dered, cold blooded, by the German
barbarians. One solution can be giv
en, that is to withdraw the German
language from the public schools as
a peaceful protest against the whole
sale butcheries of the uncivilized Ger
mans and against their submarine
outrages.
Let us analyze the German language
to see whether it is useful or detri
mental to the American schools. We
know a language is the thought and
the soul of a nation. Nations throw
off the coats of barbarism and adapt
themselves to higher ideals. Germany
failed to throw off her coat of barbar
ism by retaining the barbaric mciiL
