KULTUR IN TEXTBOOKS Almost everybody rcaliics by this time that there has been too much Grman-languaKe teaching in the pub lic schools. Its popularity i rapidly .' deolinini;. Whether or not all study of German should be abolished is one oi the questions facing school hoards in many 4commirutii f to day. The opinion that there is no place in the grade schools for any ioreign language instruction seems to be gaining strength. It is up to the students of the high schools and coi leges to decide for themselves whe ther they need a knowledge of German to complete a technical or general education. Whatever the outcome of the dis cussion as to the advisability oi leaving any German instruction at . all- in the schools, there is one point about which there can be no doubt. That is. the subject matter of many of the German textbooks is objec tionable. The chief menace of the widespread i study of German in our schools is to be found in the attempt to push Prussian Kultur to the front. It is quite possible to study the German language without being forced to ab sorb great doses of German propa ganda. Eulogies of the Kaiser, ex travagant . praise of all things Ger man, the elevation of Deutschlam. and its customs and manners above : those of other countries can not be tolerated in our textbooks of the language. lAnd yet those very thirnjs are to be fonnd in a surprisingly large pro portion of tbe textbooks that iavr somehow found their way into the schoolrooms of the United States. This particular scheme for German izing the "world and this country in particular wasn't much more subtle than the usual run of German schemes. But it certainly was put ting over a lot of flimflam until the war opened our eyes. - TRUSTING UNCLE SAM 3 the nation down-hearted because the government .has taken over tne railroads? Are people alarmed be cause a dreadful "socialistic" move has been made? Do we feel that the country is going to the demnition ' bow-wows, and that we may just as well go and drown ourselves before it's all over? - Not at all! Financial writers in the last few days have beer chockfull of enthus iasm, after a long period of gloom and depression. The president's proc lamation of government control, they aay, has lifted a great burden from the Wall Street mind. "It is the most far-reaching so far given that ' the government has an intimate un derstanding of the business problems of the time," etc. The effect on the stock market was immediate and wide-prcad. Railroad securities at once shot up many points, and have steadily continued rising. ' Along with them rose indus trial stocks the income iroin whicn is more or less dependent on railroad prosperity. - And then followed, in a grand sweep, all the standard sc- : . : - ,1,- i: . , ' It's a "bull market' again. And it isn't any ordinary "'bull campaign" ' engineered by the professional gam blers. It's Ihe natural result of hon, est, enthusiastic buying by great num bers of small Investors who represent ' the average public. financiers. ' (peculators and com- ' mon people are all agreed about it. Conservatives ar.d radicals find them- r selves on common ground. To any observer of the current of tvents flowing through the past ten years this agreement of hitherto war ring opinions Is curious. The soap box orators who urged government ownership of all means of produc tion, transportation and distribution oi wcaun on every strectcorncr anu in every available dingy hall for many year were most vociferous in their ' denunciation of Wall Street and Big Eastburn Bros.

Wall Street and liig Bus iness in their turn were most con temptuous of the strata of society represented by the soapboxers. And little if anything- in the way of im provement of conditions of any sort was accomplished. Now Big Business itself is the first to welcome the new conditions, nor are the soapboxers distrustful of its representatives. And threat things on every side are being done, never more to be undone. The secret is this: In the old days class arrayed itself against class, and energy was vainly wasted in the com petition. Now the days oi cooper ation arc at hand, and the new meth ods succeed because they are backed by a united people. There is no longer Wall Street here and the soap boxers there. There is only genial, unexpectedly competent, altogether American L'nclc Sam moving forward on the highroad of democracy. And all the people trust him. Which is to say, all the people trust their own collective good will, abil. ity and common sense. They know that, once they get their minds on the job, they through their govern ment are perfectly capable of meet ing and mastering and emergency that arises.
