Fat sheep were In good demand, with pros pects for some advance over last week. Nothing sold early. The greatest activity of the morning was confined to feeders. Feeding ewe lambs sold up to $17.00.

GERMAN TAUGHT IN MANYSCHOOLS OF THE STATE Nebraska Council of Defense Makes Report on Teaching of Foreign Language in Edu cational Institutions. Lincoln. Neb., Jan. 14. Following is the report of the Nebraska State Council of Defense on the foreign language schools: "On the basis of an investigation of the foreign language schools of the state of Nebraska, the following data was obtained through the personal in vestigation of Miss barka Hrbkova, chairman of the Woman's committee, aided by Miss Alice Florer of the state superintendent s omce, and througn the efforts of the county chairmen of educational propaganda of the Wom an's committee. "Miss Hrbkova acknowledges with thanks the co-operation of Professors Link and Weller and other repre sentatives of the German Evangelical Lutheran church of the Missouri synod. Foreign language schools are lo cated , in 59 counties of Nebraska. There is a total of 262 schools in which it is estimated that 10,000 chil dren receive instruction in foreign languages, chiefly the German. In these 262 schools 379 teachers are em ployed. Five thousand five hundred and fifty-four children are attending the schools of the German Evangelical Lutheran church of the Missouri synod, this number including those in the summer session as well. About 20 teachers give instructions in their homes or in church buildings. Of these 379 teachers in private schools, two give instruction in Danishj six in Polish, 14 in Swedish and 357 in Ger man. Less than 2 per cent of the teachers' of these schools are certifi cated. About 120 . of the German teachers are likewise ministers in the German Lutheran parishes, where the schools are located. "The county superintendents of the 5? counties in which the foreign lan guage schools are located report that, in only a few cases, do these schools give the equivalent of the eighth pub lic school grade. For the most part the eight years' attendance at such a school fits pupils for the sixth grade of the public schools. Instruction in German. "In certain schools in Fillmore. Cass, franklin, Gosper, Jefferson, Pawnee and Wayne counties the in struction is given entirely in the Ger man language. In about 200 'of the schools three hours daily is devoted to instruction in the German language. "In .Deuel. Fillmore and Jefferson counties the superintendents report that the German national hymn is sung in certain foreign language schools. In Nance and Washington counties they report that it was for merly sung, but not this year. in Ledar Lreek district No. 88, Cass county, Rev. Mr. Kunzendorf, teacher, states that they do not sine the American hymn because they do not sing any hymns. lhe American national hymn is not sung in about 100 of the German lan guage schools. Over 100 foreign lan guage schools lack an American flag. One minister, Rev. J. Aron, from Wayne county, writes: " 'We have no: Hag, but will see to it that one be put up. if reuuested to do so. "In Madison the minister declared foreign language and parochial schools are not required by law to have an American flag, and therefore ne does not display one. Public Schools Forced Out. "Public schools have been closed and forced out by German parochial schools in Cedar, Cheyenne and Clay counties, Colfax, county (No. 36), Gage county (No. 103), two in John son, five in Platte countv. district N.i. 99 in Saline county, three in Seward county, No. 38 in Stanton county and Wavne county. in Cedar county the Bow Valley, Constance and Fordyce schools are taught by Sisters. In the following counties there are public schools with only four or five pupils, because the German language schools absorb the pupils: Clay, Cedar, Cuming, Dixon, Howard, Nuckolls, Platte, Polk, Sew ard, Stanton, Wayne and Webster. Jn JNuckolls county one parochial school has been receiving state aid. in ciay county two German schools received pay tor two month' alarw from the public school fund while the children of the public schools attended these German schools. n several places in Clay county the children attend tho German schools three days i.. the week and thin th public school the other days of the week. The county superintendent re ports that these children make al most no advancement, and do not seem to get anything in the'German schools which helps them along the nne oi puonc scnool work. ; Report! of Superintendents. "The superintendent of Cumine county reports that in two or three districts contracts have been made for pupils to attend neighboring dis tricts, as there would be but two or three left to attend the public school. Superintendent of Howard county says German schools in Merrick coun ty are teaching no English at all and draw students awav from th nnMir schools. Certain pro-German families retusea to attend the home school on the grounds that they are too far from the school house, hut KnH ihr children to parochial school which is farther. Some of these children born in this country , and as much as 16 years old, can just barely read. ine superintendent of Nuckolls county says ma.:v pupils are sent to parochial schools in Thayer and Webster, counties where instruction is meager as compared to public school. "Superintendent of Polk that District No. 55 has a very small enrollment Dccause children attend German school in Columhtn. Th Swedish Lutherans have short sum mer terms with instruction m Swedish in one or two districts during our va-' cation. . . .' : "Superintendent of Sherman countv reports in the Polish schools instruc tion is equivalen to eighth grade pub lic school, but not in the German scnoois. Wayne county superintendent sav one school has only two pupils, while the German school near has 33 pupils. Rev. Mr. Spearing, teaching eight miles northeast of Hoskins, Wayne county, has been here 26 years, and is not yet a citizen. He teaches three hours a day German and three hours a day English. Many ministers teach ing in other German schools have been m the United States only a few years and have not been naturalized. From Thayer county comes this irport: 'We have several district schools of three or four months' terms and in one three months' terms dis trict, 11 of the children attend the German school four days per week and on Friday attend the district school. Those 11 pupils persisted in talking German on the day they at tended district school, and when rep rimanded by the teacher, said they were in the habit of talking German continually, as the German teacher whipped them if they talked Eng lish.' "After this report was submitted December 18, 191, the state council of defense requested that the leaching of foreign languages be discontinued in the schools of the state and that all instruction be given in the Eng lish language. CROWDS LURED BY DRAFTTO COURT Twenty or More Lawyers Arc On Duty to Assist Reg istrants Who Ap pear. The rotunda of the court house each day is crowded with a motley crowd of registrants filling out ques tionnaires. Twenty or more lawyers are on duty as members of the Doug las County Advi-ory board. The united wo k of all the lawyers disposes of about 500 cases a day, about 90 percent of whom claim exemption, or if hey do not claim it themselves, wive i or other depend ents claim it for them. Registrants ar ; of al sizes and styles. Big and little, crippled and sound, white and black, bright and dull, lively and slow. There is a babel of tongues, Yiddish, Russian, Polish, Roumanian, English, Italian, and a dearth of interpreters. There are women too, big, little, old, young, white, black, some with babies, some with toddling young sters clinging to their skirts, some with the garb of widowhood and the gray locks of age, accompanying stalwart sons on whom they depend for support. One of the unpleasant features of the work is the alacrity with which citizens of foreign birth lead their fellow countrymen to the tables and desert them, to avoid acting as inter preters. There are bits of conversation to be overheard. "Well, mother, I'm Irish and I'm game. I'll go if they call me." "But, Mike. I'm too old to get along alone, and I'm not going to sign any consent." 'No, indeedy, honey," says a stout colored woman to a tapper young darkev about half her size, "I don't count to let you go, suah. Youse mah on'y dependence and I'm a'goin' to keep you. Sposin' that kaiser shoots a bomb into you, who's goln' to support mah? No, indeedy, honey. No, Indeedy I" At one of the tables sits a man with a worried look and he lingers long over one of his answers. "Say," he says fo a lawyer, "Can't I get out of answering that ques tion? That's all over long ago, and I don't want to put that down." Trie lawyer shakes his head and a whispered conversation follows. Then the man wipes the perspiration from his flushed face and the lawyer writes down the answer. ' It is an admission of a conviction for crime, a murder committed in the heat of passion while in his teens, for which he served a term in prison. In another year the registrant would have been beyond the draft age. From one corner of the rotunda comes the echo of a vigorous collo quy between husband and wife. He is a husky laboring man, and she a snappy-eyed little Irish woman. He wants her to insist on her claim of dependency. The little woman sets her foot down with a stamp that is heard all over the rotunda. "No, indeed, I won't sign any con sent to let you stay home. You never did anything for me and I've had to work for myself. I'd be bet ter off without you than with you, and I hope they take you and do it quick." Curtail Coal Shipments To Industries in East Washington, D. C. Jan. 14. Cur tailment of coal to the less e6sentia industries in eastern cities as a means of relieving the fuel famine will be be gun early this week. Reports today to the fuel administration told of con tinued widespread suffering in New York, Philadelphia and other citjes. Many industries whose products arc not necessary for waging the war probably will be required to shut down at least three days a week until the fuel crisis is over. Householders will be given preference. -The less essential industries will be treated alike in all the eastern states. General improvement in working conditions was repotted from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky. In Virginia, Alabama, Iowa, Arkansas and the West Virginia panhandle, losses in production due to labor shortage in creased. Reported Food Riots In Vienna New Year's Day Washington. Jan. 14. Food rioting in Vienna on New Year day is described in a dispatch received here today from Switzerland. When the authorities atyiounced that 500 Ser bian pigs would be put on sale at 75 cents a pound, more than 20,000 peo ple assembled outside the market, most of them remaining throughout the New Year's eve ir.t...oe cold for the chance to buy.
