SOI SCHOOL HISTORY TOUCHING ON GERMAN
STATUS OF PETER SCHERER AS SEEN BY A PUPIL.
HOW PETITIONS WORKED
To the Editor of The News:
8li—Some light might be cast on the exact status of Peter Scherer, at present employed by the Indianapolis school board as director of modem languages lit all schools, by recalling some recent facts and rulings of his at Shortridge high school and In the graded schools. For years German was maintained in the grade schools by means of eirculating a petition from house to house. If a small per cent, of the people In each district would sign their name to the petition, which was always printed in small type, German would be retained in the schools. Many famtllee. relying on the Judgment of Indiana state laws in regard to euch matters as genera! education, took for granted

opposites of the principles of American
democracy.
The Good. Old Ffitoerland.
In those days, which are only a few years back, pupils were taught to yell lustily the "Wacht Am Rhine. ’ and the teachers made sure that the pupils got the KneliSh meaning of every word of tho song, too. After class the teacher would call a pupil or so up to her and after a 'ontcnce or two. begin to speak about the ‘‘good old days" and the fatherland." The pupils were Imttressed with German efficiency. They were told what German chemists and engineers had done, they marveled at the industry of the Krupps. and hosts of details were given as to how heavenly Germany really was. with Its fine streets and parks, and "public game
reserve*.”
su-
genera! education, took for granted All this time Peter Scherer was that because German was offered in pervisor of modern languages. Until a
few years ago he was known as the supervisor or the German language. There was no other modern language taught In the school. When the war came on people began to withdraw their children from German classes. They had difficulty in doing so from the first. Citizens in all parts of the city know many specific Instances of this fact. It seemed that once the child had blundered into the subject, he could not be released without a needless amount of tedious red tape. This did not fool Indianapolis fathers and mothers and. like all other ’ German war diplomacy, or would-be j strategy to that end. failed, making their efforts the more earnest in releasing the child from the subject. Long Line of Red Tape. In ordinary cases, where the dropping of German was not involved, the procedure was a simple one. But a child seemingly signed a contract when he elected German. The German teacher, refusing to comply with written requests for the exclusion from the class of the pupil, when interviewed personally after mail and telephone had failed, would refer the parent to the principal of the school. The principal would refer the parent to the supervising principal, and so it went on down the line until the disgusted American would face Mr. Scherer. If especially insistant and of some prominence the parent’s request would finally be granted. There have been cases when the system was so perfected that every link in the chain would argue with the parent and demand to know why this citizen dared to ask such an outrageous thing
f
as to think of letting a child in America out of studying the German language and code of living. For that is what it was. The German language in itself was harmless. Erich Brandeis, a German-American who has seen the light, and cut out the German part of his tag, tells what he thinks is wrong with Germany in "Dementia Germanica," Saturday Evening Post, June 22, Page 58. It is worth looking up. German Teachers Cared For. But to get back to Mr. Scherer. Every’ single German teacher who has been teaching the language at Shortridge high school since the first of the war is teaching now, either German, American history, French, Latin or English. Not that these «peciflc teachers are disloyal. But the habit of keeping these kulturbreeders on the pay roll of the city, and refusing positions to other teachers who wish to teach constructive subjects, is a bad canker to suffer with. One teacher of French at Shortridge left the school because of better opportunities. The position was filled by a former teacher of German. In fairness to the Shortridge German teachers—some of them—the fact that one of them is now a Red Cross nurse ought to be mentioned. Peter Scherer is the supervisor of modem language, who hah the power to recommend all these appointments, and he does It Peter Scherer is the man who favored the singing in our schools of the "Star-Spangled Banner” In German, as late as the spring and winter of 1918. Peter Scherer is the man
who Is going to keep this up unless he is stopped. Mr. Denny set forth some very sound facts on Page 7 of The News July 3. Perhaps this statement will help clear up the situation which is in constant danger of being befogged. GERMAN PUPIL.
FIRE LOSS WARNING IS ISSUED TO FOOD HANDLERS
Indiana Administrator Says Owners and Operators of All Stores Are to Be Responsible. Special notice has been sent to every county food administrator in the state by H. E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, advising that the United States food administration insists that owners and operators of all places where food is vtored or handled exert every effort to prevent fire losses; that it will hold the owners and operators of such places responsible for the necessary protection of the food placed in their hands pending its use at home or abroad as a munition of war; and that all elevator owners and others who are assisting in moving crops of wheat and other small grains be so notified. ‘The new beef regulations have brought up the question of the weight limit to be placed on veal," said Barnard today, "and under present rulings no butcher shall be allowed to offer for sale any carcass weighing over 150
pounds. Any carcass weighing In excess of 150 pounds is classed as a yearling. This applies to sales to housewives as well as to public eating places." To clear up any misunderstanding among grocers relative to the sale of pancake flour, Barnard advises that they may offer for sale without substitute any prepared pancake flour containing 50 per cent, substitute which they may have in stock, but any new pancake flour must contain 66 2-3 per cent, substitute.
TRIBUTE TO U. S. SOLDIERS HOSPITAL AIRPLANE RUSHES
ing about anything. They come back from the trenches for brief periods and then go beck to the fighting line laughing and joking like a bunch of kids out for a lark. And they go over the top Just as cheerfully. Their whole thought and desire is to get to the Germans and fight It out. "A time or two they have been driven back by sudden raids by the Germans, but always they have come back Immediately with counter attacks that drove the Huns back pell meil. They are glorious fellows.”
Frankfort Man, Now Y. M. C. A, Lecturer In France, Praises Them. [Special to The Indianapolis News] FRANKFORT, Ind., July 5.—A splendid tribute to the American soldiers la made in a letter from Harold M. Kramer, a Chautauqua lecturer of this city, who is now engaged as Young Men’s Christian Association lecturer In France, to his sister. Mrs. G. Y. Fowler, His tribute Is as follows: "And our American boys are wonderful fighters. They can whip the deuce out of the Germans any time thev get half a chance. Honestly, it is remarkable. They go after the Huns like whirlwinds whenever they are set loose They are worthy of all the beat tradltlona of the American soldier. • One never hears these fellows whin-
AID TO FALLEN FLYERS
Machine !• Kept Ready for Instant Use In Texas Aviation
School.
DALLAS, Tex.—A hospital airplane is a recent Innovation at the Love ftfcldaviation schooL It Is an emergency airship, manned by a skilled pilot, with a physician in the observer’s seat, and it Is kept ready during all hours of flying practice to enable medical help to reach
a fallen aviator.
The hospital "ship" Is always ready for Instant use. That there may be no delay, the emergency machine Is "cranked up” even’ twenty minutes, so that the engine may be kept warm and ready to produce Its best speed as soonf him.
&H1S2; at^hand. 0t ^ Observers with field glasses keep a watchful eye upon the men in the air. and the instant a flyer starts falling Information is telegraphed simultaneously to the ambulance, the fire wagon, and the hospital "ship." Oftentimes when a forced landing occurs it is in a field distant from any road, and the ambulance can reach it only by traveling a long and roundabout way. The hospital "ship*- can save time, not only by Its speed but also by going direct to the scene of the
accident.
The ubiquitous evidence of prepara-
tions for accidents Is thoroughly approved by the young flyers and haj
depressing effect
roved by the young flyers and has no
on their spirits. Al-
ways during flying times the ambulances, manned and with motors running, stand on the "dead-line," ready to start. Forced landings sometimes occur, with occasional accidents, but more frequently the Injuries are not serious, so the ambulances have no terrors for the cadets. They call them
"meat wagons."
