GERMAN IN OUR PUBLIC SOIIOOII2.
The Association of the German Press of
Pennsylvania, consisting of the German Edi
tors, Publishers, many German Ministers,
Teachers, Professors, and other friends of
education in the State, desire to have the
following petition with the reasons and facts
therein contained presented to the proper
authorities.
To the Honorable Directors and Controllers of
the Public Schools of Pennsylvania.
Whilst thanking the worthy Directors and
Controllers of the Public Schools of the
State, for the introduction of the German lan
guage into many of the High Schools of our
cities and towns, we woald respectfully ask
you to consider favorably the propriety of
introducing the German also into the lower
departments of our Free Schools generally,
as far as possible, and for the following rea
sons:
1. Because comparatively few pupils from
the lower departments ever enter the High
School, and thus, the privilege of studying
German in our Public Schools is denied to
most of the children in the State.
2. Because in a State. like Pennsylvania,
where about 'one-halt- of the Chureh' mom
hers attend divine service in the German
language, and where nearly one hundred
newspapers, and a large number of excel
lent books are published in the same lan
guage, all the children, rich and poor, and
those too who cannot attend a High School
or College, should have an opportunity to
learn to read, and understand not only the
English but also the German language cor
rectly.
3. Because the German is the mother
tongue of about one-balf of the parents of the'
State, and it serves, as experience shows, to
promote obedience to parents and good
training generally, &children study the no
ble language di their fathers thoroughly,
and learn to respect it properly.
4. Because Church, School and Home,
Ministers, Teachers, and Parents should con
stantly work together in the aducation of
youth, but this can only be done with good
results, if the church and family language
is also correctly taught and understood, as
well a 9 duly honored in 'the school.
5. Because, if our Public Schools teach
pupils to read and write the German lan
guage as well as the English, and endeavor
to ionise a spirit of pleasure and love for
reading in both languages, they impart to
German-speaking parents through their
children much useful knowledge and help to
promote education among young-and old
German families.
6. Because the Germania an original lan
guage—and very many of the most impor
tant and generally used English words
among the people are of German or Anglo
gaxon origin, eo that the study of the Ger
man language leads scholars to a more thor-:
ough understanding of the English.
7. Because the study of different lan
guages—especially translating from one lan
guage into another—is one of the best men
tal exercises and an invaluable means of
culture, which should be generally introfinc
ed into our Public Schools.
8. Because a theoretical and practical
knowledge of the German language, which
is spoken and honored by so many millions
in all parts of the, world, is of great, value
to all Americans and especially to Bennsyl•
vaniahs, in business life, in social inter
course, and particularly in travelling in this
and other lands.
9. Because the German language' in , its
purity is not only ona of the most beauti
ful languages of the world but also because
its literature is acknowledged as unsurpass
ed in richness and value, and opens and of
fers to the student the greitetest treasures in
all branches of knowledge.
10. Because the introduction. of the Ger
man language during the last few yearsinto
the public schools of nearly all the princi
pal cities of the West, and also Of 'many
places in the Bast, as for example New
York, Harrisburg, &c., haii been followed by
the most beneficial results.
11. Because a great many children in our
State already understand and speak the
Pennsylvania German dialect, and they
could be easily taught to read, understand,
write and speak the pure German, the lam ,
guage of Luther and Schiller and Gmthe,
and of all GerMany's great scholars—theo
logians, philosopbers, poets, Ito, ,
12. Because P,ennsylVania, the Xeyatche
of our beloved Union, is often called the
" Old German State," and it is certainly
greatly indebted to its industrious, skillful
and economicalGerman-speakp
i 1
tants for much of ts wealth and prosperity ;
and a proper regard to the-languagoli-ofth4s
large portion of our influential population
in our Public Schools seems to us to belhat
and right.
, In addition to these numerous plain 11,1;1.4
practical reasons,, we take the libertyva
stating another fact in, conclusion
When the School Board of Cleveland,
Ohio, lately introduced the German lan
guage into the Public Schools of that • city,
some expressed a fear that thie study orGer
man might retard the progress of English
studies in the Bc:6°ol6,m:id tn.order to meet
this objection, inquiry was-made in , neineitf
nati, where , the German hii been taught in
the Public Schools for many years, and af
ter a full examination it, livits - . 9suertained,
that, as a general rtile, thOselinfinlars who
, were attending the schools where both lan
guages are :aught, were making more-rapid
; progress in the acquisitiolf„ OA thofil4A
`:,knowledge of the English, thou those learn=
ding English only. The 'same,o4eribribe has

We submit these reasons and facts to your
serious consideration and remain

ALOOHOL; ITS NATURE ANDS
Alcohol is a product of putre oil"7"it,
is to liquids what carrion is to meiit"-ftr be
gins with the death-of the grain; it ends in
the death of the drinker. All processes of
distillation aro forms of decay and death.
This alcohol, - thus obtained by abnormal
processes, is the intoxicating element in all
intoxicating drinks. The chief difference
between beer and whisky is in the percen
tage of alcohol. We are told that it is the
abuse,rrot the use, of alcoholic drinkg against
which we should guard the community.
Granted. The question still remains, What
is the use of alcohol ?
It certainly is not food. Th,e•experiments
of Messrs. Lallemand, Perrin, and Duroy
d( monstrate that beyond peradventure. It
passes out of the stomach in the same eon
dition in which it 6nterei - iiioassiritilated,
foreign substance. That body can make °ht.
of it neither, bone nor sirrew,nor muscle,nor
blood, nor flesh. It' haStes to rid itself of
the intruder. Part is carried to the lungs ,
The fumes of the toper's breath witness to
its exhalation. Part is carriedAp
neys, wherelt is the prolific caupe r oTtiightt
disease. Part ie carried to the brain, which
soaks it up as a sponge. Part is carried to
the skin, which, irritated by its presence,
'breaks out in boils and blotches. Every
part of the body becomes impregnated with.
it. The toper is - rightly called "an old
soaker." The fist Offeet, of alcohol i is.iSus
to spur the system up to strenuons efforts
to cast out its foe. It stimulates'. It does
not, cannot strengthen. It is never truly
a tonic. But, if it promotes some activities,
it delays others. The excretory organs are
so busy getting rid of this intruder, that
they are prevented from pursuing their le
gitimate buisineas. The old, effete, worn-out,
tissues, therefore, remain. Men drink to
gain flesh: Thisllesh of the topprls carrion.
Alcohol never makes new flesh nor new
muscle. It singply hinders waste, and so
forbids repair., This is its second effect.
But, as all men know, its chief effect is on
the brain. Every poison has its special stl
finity. That•of alcohol is for the nervous
system. But it is the base and not the top
of the brain it stimulates. xt paralyzes the
will. It dethrones the reason. It vitiates
the affections. It gives predominance to
the brute. A drunkard is like a great city
under the law of the mob.
Such are the effect's of alcohol in its. best
estate. But alcohol in its best estate ,is.' a.
rarity. Strychnine, stramonium, belladon
na, tobacco, cocculus, and opium :.re all em
ployed to cheapen and to strengthen it.
Adulteration is universal. Dr. Hiram Cox,
chemical inspector of Ohio in 1855, after an
analysis of the products of six hundred dif
ferent stores. reported over ninety per cent.
adulterated. Sulphuric acid, red pepper,
pelitory, can stic,,potash, brucine, and strych
nine were among the articles'used for adul
teration. Let no man think that his liquor
is pnre4because, he, gotjt directly from the
custom-house. The merchants of Oporto
'ship yearly five times as much wine as is
'produced in the Douro Valley. One drug
house in London last year sold to one liquor
firm in that city more strychnine than the
whole medical profession of the city would
require in thesame7tin,3e. Orr Louis and
Chicago alone' Vfiaily'lis much Califor
nia wino as tbe 'whole' Pacific coast pro-'
duces. •Of these liquors—distilled, brewed,
and vinous—we are consuming in the United
States five hundred and forty million gal
lons per years; or laeaTly twenty gallona to
every 4 nnur, goitaii; and child.. 1, 944 • htfve a
drinking saloon to every three hundred in
habitants. And we employ in the •making
and sale of these drugs three hundred and
thirty-five thousand workmen. •This, 'in
brief; is the liqinbr traffic in the 'United
States. -Its results in disease, crime, taxa
tion, and, mental and moral disorder cannot
be summdd up in statistics nor given in half
a-column epitome.
All this,
and much ,more, Dr. Story tells,
with abundant citaltionskascientific authori
ties'in support of his , positions: We know
no other book which contains so much on
this subject in so brief a compass. 'And the
book would constitute an admirable tract
•
for general circulation,, were /t, not disfig
ured by a wretched attempt to write down'
to the apprehension of the common peo
ple. Dr. Story seems to have fallen into
the grevious error of supposing that to be
plain it is necessary to.be vulgar. And his
pages abound with slang phrases; 'which,
however much they may have secured the
applansO•df the unittiitfking
delivery or the' rectifies, will' despoil the
book of its power over that large class of

intelligent moderate-drinkers who other
wise could hardly fail to feel the force of
his terrible array of facts and figures.
A HUMAN TIMEPIECE.
A wonderful story is told of a man named
J. D. Chevalley, a native of Switzerland,
who bad, in 1845, at the age of sixty-six,
arrived at an astonishing degree of perfec
tion in reckoning time by an internal move
ment. He was, in fact, a human timepiece,
or living clock. ' In his youth be was accue
tomed to pay great attention to the ringing
of bells and vibrations of pendulums, and
by degrees he acquired the power of count
ing a succession of intervals exactly equal
to those which the vibrations of the sound
produced. Being on board a steamboat on
Lake Geneva, on July 14th, 1832; he err
gaged to indicate to the crowd around the
lapse of a quarter of an hour, or as many
minutes and seconds as any orie chose to
name, and this during a most ;diversified
conversation with those standing by; :and,
further, to indicate by his voice the moreent
When the hand passed over the quarter,
minutes, or any other subdivisioit previous
ly stipulated, during the whole course of
the experiment. This he did without mis
take, notwithstanding the exhitions of
those about him to 'distract bitil attgrfibn,
and clapped his hands'at the conclusion of
the fixed time. His own account ,of,his,
gift was as follows : I
" I have acquired, .by imitation, labor,
and patience; a "m ni
oveent whi.l, h "neithertheught, nor labor, nor anythin can stop.
It is similar to that of a pendulum, which, at
each moment of going and retutning;gives
me the space of three seconds, so that
twenty of =them make a minute!; and these
I add to others continually" Th... ,'''
COMPRESSED AIR, TOR PROPELLING
STREET CARS.
Mr. Waylies, of New Orleans, has recent
ly invented a car which has proved a com
plete success. In the car-station there is
an,ordinary steam-engine, of ahont, sixty-six
horse pewer for compressing air into reser
voirs. The reservoirs are made of a paper
I t
compdsition, arid tw'o of them' at - placed 6n
top of the ears. On each car ther is .a small
engine operated by air supplied from the
reservoir in the same manner 4,13 team, giv
ing the exact amount cf power that was
required to coMpress the air. Th 'engine is
not difficult to run, and the ca s can be
stopped much more readily th n where
horses are used. Each car veil have 300
pounds of compressed_ air to s art with,
which will be sufficient to run it iiine or ten
miles. The exhatnited air, as it es apes from
the '`engine; may be used for v ntilation.
The New Orleans Picayune say : " When
this, system is adopted in our city, it, will
cause at least 5,000 mules to be sent into the
country, thereby being or muclii j benefit to
the farmers." In New York there are some
40,000 animals employed on tha various
railway lines. The release of this immense
number of l k orveswould ,do much-toward
redncipg their value., The cost ot ,tuning
cars by ibis metgod world be .trinchqe!ss
than at present, and the speed more uni
form. It is claimed that cars can be stopped
quicker with the compressed air than by
horses.
'SIZE OF THE STARS.
How large are the stars, and' are they
alike, or do they differ in size ? It used to,
be :conjectured , tliat Ihay sire of goat eviltal
similar magnitude, presumably about as
great as our sun, and that the differences of
apparent size are due to differences of dis
tance ; whenastronomers came ; tot
cover' that some of the sinaller t Stars'aiegife‘
nearest to our system, this idea fell to the
grbitnii. A Gernian computer has vow,'
however, calculated the actual dimensions
of one particular star, and finds that its
muff. pth,er., more,. than ,three time?, that.
of t:llei The tai questini" leiug
than the fountfpnrkagnleildalomparative
ly small one. then, must be the size
of the Sirius, apd, Alclebs,ran, class ? 4 _ ,The
reation of tits itiltfetion-fei'this deteAMna
tion was that it is one of the components of
what is called a binary system—two stars
revolving. about 'each other:lik9<the sup and
planet , -'--and the !notion's-of the members-of
such a system afford data for the •computa
tion. 'The star's distance from us is a mil
lion and .a• quarter times that of the earth ,
from the sun, ..so that light takes twenty
years to, travel hither from it.—Once a
