School Director Says Board
Aoted Through Patriotic
Motivi After U. S.
Breaks With Kaiser.
"Teaching of Gcman in the Omaha
Dublic schools has been promoted for
unpatriotic purposes. The teachers'
committee had the subject up for con
sideration before war was declared,
but the open breach made the situa
tion more acute." said Arthur R
Wells, chairman of the teachers' com
mittee of the Board of Education.
"The abolishment of the office of su
pervisor of German and the proposed
dispensing of German-language teach
ire; in grade schools has been in the
hands of the teachers' committee for
several weeks before action was
taken," said Mr. Wells.
Fresident Ernst of the board said;
"The children should learn English in
mi, cVinnW Let them he tauffht Ger-
man at home if they wish to master
that language, u is a waste 01 money
and time and an injury to the chil
dren to teach them foreign languages
in the grade schools.
''They should be taught more of the
three Rs. The war situation did not
move the board to act in this matter.
The subject has. been up for several
months."
Hearing Friday Afternoorl.
C. V. Warfield and C 0. Talmage.
board members, expressed the opinion
that the war situation was not the

tion. The question of teaching the Ger-
man language in grade schools next
school year will be up before the
teachers committee Friday afternoon.
At this meeting it is expected that
representatives of the German-American
Alliance will appear. They have
been invited. '
Val J. Peter of the German-American
Alliance of Nebraska has been
given to understand that the school
board will dispense with German in
the scVools because of financial and
pedagogical reasons.

c . ' V Spanish War Veterans
Chief Deputy County Attorney Ab
bott is drafting a resolution to be
presented before congress in the name
of the United Spanish War Veterans
of Nebraska, asking that preference
, be given Spanish war reserve officers
who have passed the examinations for
admission to training camps, provid
ing other conditions re equal.

sions in the officers' reserve and that
they could not afford to leave their
businesses or professions unless they
were given assurance of preference
over younger men with no military
training. The Soanish War Veterans
