"This bill would prohibit tho teaching of the German language in the public schools and tho normal schools' of this Commonwealth. While I do not doubt that the motives which impelled the passage of this measure by the Legislature werq' highly patriotic, and that tho intention of the author in tho matter is entirely good, I cannot believe that the effect of this proposition, were it enacted into law, would be beneficial to our people.

Nowhere in Pennsylvania's public schools is there any requirement that anyone shall study German unless lie so elects. "At the close of the Revolution and of the second war with Great Britain we- did not forbid the teaching of English in our schools; after tha Mexican War and the Spanish War. 'nstond of forbidding our students to learn the Spanish language, we set to work to encourage the study of this tongue, in order to promote our intercourse and trade with tho nations which use it. fi, seems to me that to deprive our people now of tho of learning the German would be extremely hort-sighted, and that if we were to take such action we should soon regret it. We must not be hysterical in our patriotism and we surely must not pursue the policy of cutting off our noses to spite our faces.

"Rather must we view these ques-tion in a broad, liberal manner and try to give facility in education which will help them to -meet the competition of other peoples in every part of the world and prepare them for the eventualities of these times when we are taking, more than ever before, a bnnd in international affairs.

Not a small element of the movement to join Germany was based on tho need of a route to tho sea.

Vienna has to turn to the North Sea, now she is cut off from the Adriatic. Tho Viennese are more southern their dispositions and life than Prussian. It is possible the Austrians see a way of reaching the sea through another alliance.
