The resolution, offered by Bishop James H. Darlington, of Harrisburg, states that there should be "one land, one flag and one language." The 100 delegates In attendance vig orously applauded the prelate during his tirade against foreign languages, especially German. "I am in favor of having only one language in this country," said Bishop Darlington, who is vice-pres ident of the Pennsylvania Society, "especially in the public schools and dther public institutions of learning. This seeins to be a good time to pre pare ourselves. There is a strong feeling against the German language rind it is particularly strong about this country. "I feel that there should be one land, one flag and one language. I don t think the French people desire that their language should be taught in our public schools. The German language should be kept out of the parochial and public schools, where a great deal of disloyalty now ex ists. Applaud Louisiana Patriot "Certain superintendents of public schools have told me that the Ger man language would be a great help to us in the mercantile line at the close of the war. I think that we can do without it. Some German books that I have read teach close to dis loyalty and Indorse German propa ganda. "The time has come when we must be out-and-out Americans and do everything in our power to help our boys at the front. Fifteen members of my family have volunteered. I now move that there be only one land, one flag and one language." Following the adoption of the res olution one ot the delegates from Louisiana jumped to his feet and ex claimed: "I come from Louisiana; but, sir, we don't talk French any more down there. The good old Unit ed States language is good enough in Louisiana." He was given an ova tion. * • "The children in the public schools," continued Bishop Darling ton, "Should not be taught the Ger man language. I hope that the for eign-language papers wjll die out. We should let the superintendents of public schools In all sections of the country know about our action to night. Two or three school superin tendents told me that they could not take German out of their curriculum because high school students are re quired to have three years of Ger man before they can enter college."
