Dialect Known u "Pennaylvanli
Dutch" Bids Fair Soon to Be a
Thing of the Past.
"Pennsylvania Dutch," that curloui
combination of German, English anc
Yankee, which since Revolutlonarj
times has developed In parts of Penn
sylvania and Ohio, Is going Into the
discard. For more than a century II
has been growing just as language!
always grow, with use. It has cor
rupted words, made words, created
forms, one mlRlit sny a grammar ol
Its own. It has not, It Is true, pro
duced a literature. But It has been th
speech of a considerable number ol
persons in their homes. It long since
ceased to be recognizable as German,
and English It never was. In It, stu
dents tell us, are mingled German,
English, Welsh, French and even Gae
lic words.
"Pennsylvania Dutch" has been 'the
dialect of those German disciples of
Peter Menno who came to America,
some of them In pre-Revolutlon days,
seeking religious liberty and political
freedom. Some of these went Into
Ohio during Revolution days, others In
to Canada, some as late as Civil war
uted to Isolation. And they were large
ly an agricultural people.
Now the word has gone forth among
the Mennonltes that It Is no longer
patriotic to speak "Pennsylvania
Dutch," and as fast and as thoroughly
as possible these unbelievers In war are
discarding the speech of childhood and
home associations. The task Is not an
Impossible one to them, since all or
nearly all of them have had some ex
perience in the common schools. From
among them 8,000 young men have
gone overseas to flght the oppressors
of their ancestors and the barbarians
who threaten their own liberties.
The banning of "Pennsylvania
Dutch" Is an Impressive object lesson
to all Americans. Let's all resolve to
speak English. Detroit Free Press.
Russia Is printing from 600,000 to

The church in America Intends to
take its place In the forefront. From
now on, its motto will be "doing," not
talking.
Hence, In celebration of the 100th
anniversary of the foundation of Chris
tian missions, the Methodist Episcopal
church and the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, have joined In a nation
wide Methodist centenary campaign.
Every phase of Methodist church life
has been enlisted. The aim of the
colossal campaign is the rebuilding of
the world.
$140,000,000 to Be Raised
In brief, the Methodist Episcopal
churches of both branches will ask for
a total of $140,000,000 for their joint
alms. Especially detailed are those
aims so far as they concern the Meth
odist Episcopal church, which in the
seven-day period of May 18-26 will ask
for $105,000,000.
Here is how that money will be
spent:
Forty million dollars on the great
est foreign mission programme ever
conceived, lasting five years; embrac
ing the building and operating of
schools, hospitals, dispensaries, col
leges and everything that will benefit
mankind. Christianity will be preach
ed too, but the aim of this new and
bigger Methodism is to live Christian
ity and the brotherhood of man.
