Tim following Is. thp substance of an
artlclo Wrjtten by o.no of UsSanembers
which waBpubllshod In theOmolia
Sunday Bee, and Indicates v6rycloar
ly the campaign the Club Is carhying
on to -secure instruction In "the Cz
languago" within the University?
The first
ago, when tho
University presented to the Unlyorslty
Senate i petition .signed by students
and, Czechs Residing at Lincoln, askr
ing rtmli.ii chair of Uie Czech language
bo OBtabilshpd at tho Unlversltx. The
petition ' was accompanied by a
schedule, showing tio compatispn of
tho languages taught wjth tho num.
her pf thd population using- tho same.
TIiIb petition was takon before tho
-Unlvorslty Senato by Prof. W. G. Hitst
Ingsand by him oxpoundodv For
'flnancltilasons the attempt failed
but tho planxlms not been given up
and another andmpro onorgetlc offort
1h now underlay. Tlio plan now is
not ta try for a separate and indopen-'
dent chair of Czech, but to appeal to
tho Itogonts of the University inul
Chnncellor Andrews to select leCzech
Instnictpr.ipBQmQl.anuage or liter
ary department; ho.would b'o, glveq
un' liouidday thl)jifili. ha, wio"lc to
toacii'tne uzeciitpnguo to nirdeslring
it. Irithis way It Ib hoped to meet tho
flnanclnl side of tl?e objection .. nnfl-
effect the purpose.
Considerable Interest is shown in tlm
matter by the Czech newspapers and
their support Is supplemented by that
of a number of Bohemian societies:
The Importance of tho Instruction to .
the Bohcmfan Is so cearthat it. needs
no ' nrsup'iont. Tho BohemianVlvp'ls ,
not wall versed "in English is at: a (lis,
tlnct disadvantage In his life in thonow
world. Ho cannpt converso with his
Amerlcan4)orn neighbor, and so h"6 is
left for social and business intercourse
to his countrymen who are in tlo samo
.position. This has given the Bohem
ians the name of being backward,
when tho reverse Is true. The young ' .
Bohemians, educated in America;"' are
given Instruction in English and other
tongues, but not In Czech, and" so lhy
drift away from the. languago ofuflidir
fathers, and are not of roal sfervlce to
their fellows, If they could bo in
structed in Czech and in other
languages they would b able to com
municato more freely with their peo.
pie, and so could Impart the knowledge
they have gained from attending the .'
schools and universities. In this way '
they would assist the Bohemians "who;
have not been educated In Englslr and.
give them tho advantages dr higher"". .
