SPEAK ENOLISH Is Request from Indiana Stale Council of Defense in Latest Report. THE USE OF GERMAN Is to be Discouraged When It Induces Residents lo Think in German. The following report adopted by .be state council of defense has been drwarded to the Adams county conn--11 of defense with the request that t be published and otherwise made known to every citizen of the county: To the Indiana State Council of Defense; Your special committee on the teaching and use of the German language begs to report as follows: The Indiana State Council of Defense has been asked to define its position in regard lo the teaching of the German language in the schools of Indiana and the use of the German language in schols and colleges anil at public assemblages within the state. The policy herewith outlined is in harmony with recommendations mado by the Bureau of Education of the Department of the Interior. The Council of National Itefense has made no definite pronouncement in the matter of alien speech in church service, schools and colleges, or at public meetings. Each state has been left free to enjoy a policy which will meet local conditions. The National Council has, however, declared with emphasis that English should be made the common language of communication within the boundaries of the. United States. The committee appointed by the State Council of Defense to formulate and report hack a sensible course of procedure in regard to the use of the German language believes that the scattered efforts within the state to perpetuate German as a preferred language of communication in schools churches, or at public meetings, are not so numerous or persistent as to constitute a serious menace, but are at the same time a hindrance to the Americanization of forelgn-liorn ci;izen sand a complete unification of patriotic sentiment. The use of German speech and the German printed page is to be discouraged when it induces residents of Indiana to think in German and set themselves in opposition to a government which has given them welcome and opportunity. Although the continued use of the German language by those who have preferred it to English is to be opposed. the German language itself ni.iv rightfully be regarded as an asset. It need not be banished because it is now the medium of propaganda which we detest. It may become a weapon to be turned against these very propaganda. Much useful knowledge is locked up in German books. The United States, as a world power and a factor in the international trade of the future, must have in service civilian emissaries, diplomats and soldiers who can speak the languages of the large populations of the world, whether their communications he friendly or otherwise. A knowledge of German need not corrupt or mislead any citizen who has been Americanized by birth, environment and training before he meets the German language. The German language is to be attacked, however, when it becomes a barrier betw-een the immigrant and a fair knowledge of the aims and ideals of the country he has chosen, or when it is forced upon school children of the elementary grades. Therefore your committee recommends the following declaration by the Indiana State Council of Defense: The fact should be frankly recognized by everyone that ours is an j English-speaking people, and that any use of a foreign language which tends to divide our population into racial groups and to perpetuate or instil un-American ideas and purposes must be vigorously discouraged. The preferred language of communication in all schools, colleges and churches and at all public assemblages within the State of Indiana shall be Ehglish. The German language should not be taught in any public or private school of Indiana below the high school grades, and should not be the. common language of communication ! n any public or private school of any grade. In no school or college should the study of German be compulsory. The statute enacted in 1869 requiring the teaching of German in the common schools under certain circumstances should he, as this council has alreadq recommended, repealed at the next session of the legislature. Great care should he taken to see that instruction in German be given

English should lx* made the preferred language at all religious services. Every congregation of any religious sect should see that its minister is qualified to speak from the pulpit in English, and at no church service should German bo made the exclusive language of communication.

! eongi egatinn is unable to understand even simplified English speech County Councils of Defense, Township Councils and patriotic citizens everywhere are requested to act in friendiy co-operation with people of German birth or extraction who are endeavoring to get away from the German language and the Prussian manner of thought and are striving to put themselves into harmonious relationship with the government to which they owe allegiance. Residents who continue their efforts to Germanize any part of the state of Indiana are not entitled to the same friendly consideration. The free use

of the German language as the preferred medium of expression in any community or church building or place of public assemblage Is not to be approved. It can be tolerated only when the German-speaking residents make it evident that they are trying to Itecome English-speaking Americans. Respectfully submitted. ARTHUR W. BRADY*, ALLEN B.
