4 DISCUSS STUDY OF KAISER'S TONGUE Language Has Some Value, City Superintendent Declares To study German or not to study German is the question puzzling edu cators of Harrisburg and the state to-day. The Telegraph recently printed an interview 'with E. Moes lein to the effect that in ten years the German language would no long-1 f r be heard in this vicinity, and told I how the High school pupils are refus ing to study the languages. Nowj Ootpes a statesment from Dr. F.'K. j Hownes, city superintendent of; schools, and another from Dr. Na-j than C. Schaeffer, state superinten dent of public • instruction, both eau-j tjoning against too much haste. I Dr. Downes has this to say: "Wej are apt to do things under the stress j of excitement that we are not like 'y to do in our saner moods: we arej in no position at the present time to J i xcrcise our cool judgment on _ this question of eliminating German." He ; then proceeds to point out: "Of course we are not primarily| fighting a language; we are fighting; a militaristic condition. The Ger-j man language, as is the case with all j the leading modern languages, hnsj i:s value as a sclioo lsttidy, in spite[ nt argument to the contrary at this| time, and it has peculiar value in; business and science. "My answer is that we ought to! do nothing in haste. Personally I ■hink tho study of the language v.-jjl lie more useful to us after the war is over in our commercial relations than it was before tho war began; and if the war lasts long, it might he that it will be useful even in ipiping our soldiers win the war.j The whole syp system, for exam-1 Die, is based on the principles ot being able to know what the enemy Is saying and doing." Hi's conclusion is that, after the manner of a republic lick ours, the neople themselves will eventually de termine what is wanted. This, too, is j the note struck in Dr. Schaeitcr'o r ply to Gabriel K .Moyer, president ■>f the I*. O. H. of A. in Pennsylvania. "If the Federal government should decide that German is to be elimi nated from the school?: I feel fiuro 'that all the school officials of Penn ylvania will obey the mandate." His letter follows: "Tfon. Gabriel Moyer, Harrisburg, I'a. "Dear Sir; In reply to your letter 1 wish to say what I have often said, that, in my opinion, no pupil should ! • obliged to study German agiinst ,hi.J will or against the wishes of bin parents.

PRESIDENT WILSON last night issued Uic following Liberty Day declaration: "By the President of Ute United States of America. "A proclamation. "An enemy %vlio lias grossly abused die power of organized. gov ernment and who wits to dominate the world by miglit of the sword, challenges the rights of America and the liberty and life of all the free nations of the earth. Our brave sons are facing the fire of battle in defense of the honor and lights of America and the liberty of nations. To sustain them and to assist our gallant associates in the war. a generous and patriotic people liave been called upon to subscribe to Uie Third liiberty 1/oan. "Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do appoint Friday, Uio twenty-sixth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, as Liberty Day. On the afternoon of that day I request the people of tlie United States to assemble in their respe<tive communities and liberally pledge anew Lhelr financial support to sustain the nation's cause. Patriotic dem onstrations should l>e held in every city, town and liamlct through out lhe land under the general direction of the Secretary of the Treasury and the immediate direction of the Liberty I/oun Com mittees organized by the Federal Reserve Hunks. Ijet the nation's response to the Third Liberty ixian express in unmistakable terms the determination of America to flglit for peace, tlio iermnncnt peace of justice. "For the purpose of participating in Liberty Pay eelcbraflons, all employes of the Federal Government throughout the country whose services can be spared may be excused at 12 o'clock noon, Friday, the twenty-sixth day of April. '•ln witness whereof, I have hereunto set my lutnd and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done in the District of Columbia, this eighteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, and of tile independence of the United States of America one hundred and forty-second. "WOODROW WTLSON, "By the President. "ROBERT LANSING, "Secretary of state." Cerman in our schools and colleges and in the closing paragraph he says "I have reason to believe that till: views and sentiment expressed in this letter are fully in harmony with those of the administration at Washington." In that letter he further says "I sincerely hope that school officers and teachers every where will take the broad and sane view of this subject. To do so can, I believe, in no way be inter preted as a lack of loyalty to the United States, nor can failure o do so in any way strengthen our posi tion in tho war or enable us to bring it to a successful end more quickly." "As the law now stands the_ elimi nation of German from the curric ulum of the public schools is a question to be settled by the board of school directors of each school district. The leading characteristics of the pupils in our public schools are patriotism and loyalty. This 1% due to the patriotism and loyalty of the teachers in charge of our schools. The nature of the instruction in history and any foreign language de pends upon the teachers who give the instruction and the text books which are placed in the hands of the pupils. We have a law upon the statute hooks of Pennsylvania that, in all schools the common branches must be taught daily in the English | language. This law is obeyed in all i our public schools and the late' Bishop Shanahan did his utmost to assist In having the law obeyed in all the parochial schools of Penn sylvania. "I have always held that It is j the duty of the public schools to j support the Federal Government in ] every possible way and I regret that; our appropriations have been so tied up by legislation that we could not use the money for more exten sive war activities in our vocational and other schools. If the Federal Government should decide that Ger man is to be eliminated from the' schools I feel sure that all the school < officials of Pennsylvania will obey the mandate and if the Pennsyl vania legislature should forbid the teaching of German in our schools and colleges, the legislation would j be obeyed strictly and promptly. Where school boards find it wise to i eliminate German from the curric ulum they should substitute some other language like French or Span ish vhich give equal culture and are equally valuable for industrial and commercial purposes.

Most soaps and pre pared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. i The best thing for steady use Is just ordinary mulsilied cocoanut (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thorough ly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, I which rinses out easily, removing j every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the j scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to ! manage. I Vou can get mulsified cocoanut oil i at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and j a few ounces will supply every mem. I ber of the family for months.
