AGAINST rOREIGN TONGUES HEAD Or GALA DAY FETZ at omaha uimnRsnr.- Thomas A. Fry, member of the Board of Education, takes exception! to statements of Mrs.. E.

I am opposed to faching foreign languages as re tired by the Mockett law of this ate. It is the law and the members .f the school board were elected to bserve the laws. The teaching of '' European languages', under this state iw is costing the taxpayers of Oma a about f30,000 a year," stated Mr. ''ry., '- ' ' ; - - , One of the public school principals . ;aids "Mrs. Nash should make an investigation of the schools before she delivers such sweeping criticisms. Jt is only, fair to investigate that which one would criticise, X -am. re ferring to patriotism in our schools. We take advantage ot every oppor , tunitv to teach patriotism, Refer ence to our course of study will offer convincing evidence of the point am making.1' ' - Eeal Estate Men Lodkfor'BigThings , In the ear Future Real estate men are beginning to look, for certain barometers of real estate values and activity. , They are taking notice of the moves made by some of th big corporation,!

It. is pointed out that 'when railroad com panies begin to acquire trackage in any given locality it is something of an indication that demand for job bing, or factory sites is expected, or has already been started in a quiet way.l Again it is being observed that oil tilling stations art apt to be placed by the big oil) companies in any dis trict - whera big development is ex pected soon, as the companies want to get established on favorable cor- ners , to serve the auto and truck ' activities in that section when things let into action oronerlv.

Through the - co-operation of the newspapers, the idea of everybody getting a home is being pushed with great interest. Another movement that has aroused much interest ia the gardening feature.- The Real Estate board has taken charge, with the co operation of municipal authorities and with the assistance of the newspapers, of the vacant lots and hundreds have been turned over to worthy people for cultivation, together with directions as to the best way to utilize these lots. Another feature -.which 'Mr. Sharon mentioned as being most prac tical and helpful in city affairs wan the president's .round table, being monthly meetings, of the presidents and chairmen of all. the various civic organizations for a conference in re gard to public afTajrs.
