The German prose style is cumbrous
and uncouth, whereas the French
prose Is a model for the "belle let
ters" No German state owes more
to France than Prussia. Frederic II.
was French from the crown of his
head to the soles of feet; he thought
and wrote in French; he spoke the
German only to his soldiers and to
his servants; he declared even in 1871
that it was a loss of time to learn
German.
Nearly all the combatans of the
German heroic epoch had a French
education and were subject, despite
themselves, to the influence of the
French poets, writers, thinkers and!
savants. Goethe, himself, does not es-:
cape the German rule. Rosseau, Di
derot, Lesage, Beaumarchais, Rotrou,
Brunay furnished Goethe with sub
jects, episodes, situations and charac
ters. The influence of the court of
Weimar turned him toward French
classics. He studied Racine at length.
In the last years of his life he read
Geoffroy de St. Hilaire and Sylvestre
de Sacy. He defends himself from
the charge of being a gallophobe and
says nobly: "How should I be able
to hate a people to whom I owe such
a great part of intellectual forma
tion." When we consider the art of let
ters or pure literature, m what used
to be called "belle letters," from
the death of Goethe in 1832 to the
advent of the younger generation of
dramatists, Suderman and Hauptmann
and the rest in the final decade of the
nineteenth century that is to say for
a period of nearly sixty years only
one German author succeeded in win
ning a world-wide celebrity and
Heine was. a Hebrew, who died in
Paris, out of favor with his country
men, perhaps because he had been
unceasing in calling attention to the
deficiencies of German culture.
It took Germany a hundred years
to adopt ths Gothic style which she
termed the French style (opus franci
gemem), and which she boasted later
of having invented.
Schopenhauer say6: "No modern
language has a prose literature like
the French." Munstenberg says:
"Recent modern prose has been great
ly influenced by French models."
Therefore, let us abolish the Ger
man language from the public schools
as a peaceful protest against the Ger
man activities and adopt the French
language' in lieu of it.

The Uni. Summer School

South Dakota, Idaho, Colorado, and
Missouri. The direct influence of this
one term of school practically extends
from the northern boundary of the
United States to the southern; from
Idaho to Indiana. And this is not all.
One Summer School student gives his
home address as Dresden, Germany,
and another as Wakayamaken, Japan.
W.e have superintendents, principals
and teachers, here from the best school
systems in the state. I will name a
few typical ones: I. G. Wilson of
Peiu, W. R. Pate of Alliance, J. L.
Tout of North Platte, Norval Pearce
of Gonad, Lester Cnadderdon of Ox
ford, Sheets and Clayburn of Bridge
port, J. A. True of Schuyler, W. H.
Deaver of Glenville, Miss Steuteville
of Brownville, MiBS Briggs of Kear
ney. Gates of Blair, Broadston of Ge
noa, Cook of Tecumseh, Ireland of Ful
lerton. and many others; all here in
the spirit .of giving as well as taking.
It means something to be able to at
tend school where you can brush
elbows continually with people of such
calibre.
There is another factor which has
been of considerable importance dur
ing the summer session, and that is the
number of student organizations.
Among those showing healthful
signs of activity are clubs whose in
terests are closely allied wtih the work
of certain departments, such as the
German clutt which has been especial
ly active; clubs whose interests are
more general, such is the Palladia n
and the Union, and clubs whose inter
ests center around the earlier alma
inater of various university 6tudents,
such as the Peru, or Fremont, or Kear
ney clubs, all of which are alive and
working this summer. Students should
ever become too old to ally them
selves with some organization of this
kind. These societies help to brean
the monotony of the regular work
routine; they drive away the blues;
thev eive one a broader outlook and j
widen one's circle of acquaintances:
they give a special kind of training
that nothing else can give. Those who
have availed themselves of the oppor
tunity given by the Palladians this
summe know what I mean.
