Olcott in "Once Upon the Whitney, Monday, TODAY . I * German, when taught by an Ameri- can-minded teacher, does not neces- sarily and inevitably "noculate the children of Uncle Sam very power- fully" with kultur. Nor does it hin- der Americanization or spoil Ameri- cans, according to Prof. John W. Scholl of the German department. Professor Scholl was chosen to ad- dress the modern languages confer- ence of the Schoolmasters' club, stat- ing the present status of German in the United States. "The language it-1 self does not carry with it the civill- zation of the people of whom it is the mother tongue," said he. "Even an appreciative understanding of that type of civilization--its art, literature, political organization, industrial and scientific achievements - does not carry with it admiration. It may quite as readily carry disgust and hatred. That all depends upon the teacher, and the manner of presentation. Glorification of Germany "Glorification of Germany, accom- panied by disparagement of America by ill-judged enthusiasms for things distinctly un-American lay always at the bottom of the evil of past prac- tices. Conscious or unconscious pro- paganda for the'German system as superior to the American., furnished the substance of drill exercises of all kinds, and the teacher added -the in- fluence of his own approval, or sup- plemented it with his own web. Wrong Practices "These wrong practices, however, are not inseparable from the subject. They inhere in teacher, text, and pur- pose, and these may be reformed. Modern Languages "The leaders of the world today, in order to have a passport to the treasures of the past, and a key to the activities of the present of the whole civilized world, such as the speaker of Latin possessed. a couple of cen- turies ago, must have a reading knowledge of the three major modern languages, English, French and Ger- man. In my judgment this is true to such an extent, that it would con- tinue to be true for a generation to come, even if the results of this con- flict should be comparable to those of the Thirty Years' war. Opinion Would Lose Force "Of course, if Germany should drop out of the race for two centuries, as she did then, this opinion of mine would gradually lose its force. Should Germany ibecome a mere imitator, a third-rate laggard, we should care little more for what she produced in the greater departments of civiliza- tion, than Europe did from 1648 to the time of Lessing. But for the present, and barring the darker prospect at least until it stalks a specter visible on the horizon, our leaders should command the German language as well as the French. MusteFmain Requirement "Again, so long as scholarship im- plies research, so long as scholarship is international and implies first- hand knowledge of the sources, Ger- man must remain a requirement for all aspirants for higher degrees and unusual professional attainments. Scientits, Yew itions. The consuls of the United States, no matter in what land they are stationed, will have to guard the interests of the United States in a sharp contest, partly of honest rivalry, but partly of intrigue, both political and commercial. In the past the Ger- man agent has been everywhere. The antidote should be equally ubiquitous, and the antidote is a loyal watchful American officer, who includes a knowledge of German among his many useful talents. Our nation with- out such public servants- would be a blinded giant in the world-struggle. Knowledge an Asset An acquaintance with German art, music, literature, philosophy, political and industrial history, in fact the whole 'sittlichkeit' of Germany, is an asset, often an inestimable asset in public men. But it must be .mere ac- qudintance, not passionate adoption.' Three Provisos "If properly taught by Americans, to Americans, for Americans, German remains a subject which has legiti- mate claims upon the attention of the college student everywhere, and upon the high school student wherever he is preparing for college or a profes- sional career. "The German language can no long- er be taught as the vehicle of German kultur. The spirit of German teach- ing is going to be wholly changed. The text-book with its glorification of everything German is going into the limbo of museums of curios. The Ger- man-minded teacher is going to per- 'form a miracle, or he will follow the text-book. Teaching of German is going to be Americanized or-elimin- ated." What Your Doond Will 7JuyToday PRETTY Shows n ats3. sand-8-30 Eastern Time igc Unless Otherwise :specified.

Shaw has received an interesting trench paper, "Beaumont Bull," from F. J. Russell, '15. It is dated March 2, 1918, and the home office is "Nowhere in France." Although written in English, French- type has been used giving the paper a decidedly different appearance. It is edited in the snappy American style and contains accounts of the base- ball games that take place just behind the lines, little witticisms on Boches, the more interesting news from home, and a great many local occurrences. One of the features is an appeal by a member of the group on that sector who fears that he may be unable to be in Paris for the date of his wed- ding. In this case, he wishes a sub- stitute to replace him. Applicants are asked to inquire at dugout 14, but are warned to keep their heads down when entering and to bring their gas masks with them. Liberty bonds have great purchas- ing powers when used by the war department, according to the follow- ing table: One $50 bond will buy trench knives for a rifle company, or 37 cases of surgical instruments for en- listed men's belts,' or 10 cases of sur- gical instruments for officer's belts. A $100 bond will clothe a soldier, or feed a soldier for eight months, or purchase five rifles, or 25 pounds of ether, or 145 hot-water bags, or 2,- 000 surgical needles. A $100 and a $50 bond will clothe and equip an infantry soldier for ser- vice overseas, or feed a soldier for a year. Two $100 bonds will purchase a horse or mule for cavalry, artillery, or other service. Three $100 bonds will clothe a sol- dier and feed him for one year in France, or buy a motorcycle for a machine gun company. Four $100 bonds will buy an X-ray outfit. One $500 bond will supply bicycles for the headquarters company of an infantry regiment. State Using Waste Land for Forests Michigan is reclaimizg 4,500 acres of waste land each year by planting it with forests, according to Prof. L. J. Young of the forestry depart- ment. Under a plan devised by the legislature, the same number of acres will be planted annually for the next sixty years, at an expense of $130,000 a year, in an effort to reforest the 6,000,000 acres of otherwise useless land in the state.

Riggs of the engineering college yesterday aft- ernoon.. I have no doubt that if students will file their applications for summer positions with us before the middle of May, we will be able to place every one of them. There are positions open now for five men with construction experience, as superintendents of con- struction, with salaries of from $1,800 to $2,500 per year." RUSSKI KRUZHOK TO HEAR CHICAGO PROFESSOR TONIGHT Prof. Samuel N. Harper of the de- partment of Russian language and lit- erature of Chicago university, will lecture on "The Russian Revolution," at the regular meeting of the Russki Kruzhok at 8 o'clock in Sarah Caswell Angell- hall. Professor Harper has visited Russia several 'times during the recent revolution and will give some timely experiences. After the lecture, tea will be served in the parlors below. All students, faculty members, and townspeople who are interested in Russia are in-' -Scientists may here and there ex- press the view that America has reached such a high degree of dev- elopment in science,~ that she can go on quite well without any dependence upon Germany. This is a slightly wrong envisagement of the relations. The scientist equipped with German will still have an advantage over the one without it. The chemist, the phy- sician, the specialist in almost any field of pure or applied science, will' be better with the full international equipment than without it. Trade Rivalries "We are going to have trade rival- ries. The prospects are that trade- warfare mad be sharp and, as in the past, unscrupulous. We arenow grown familiar with German trade-meth- ods, the industrial penetration sup- ported by the 'Deutsche reichsbank' under imperial orders, dumping, un-. derselling at a loss to establish trade monopolies, preferential positions se- cured by secret imperial bargaining, etc. If, for example, in South Ameri- can trade a German who knows Eng- lish and -Spanish competes with a Yankee who knows Spanish but no German, the German can constantly see his rival's hand, while the Yankee will be blind, for the former can carry on any of his nefarious opera- tions backed by the 'Deutsche reichs, bank' and not be detected or under- stood by the Yankee trader.
