The more I look at American life, the more do I become convinced that the American needs the compulsory school system... A German teacher's Association is planned for Chicago with the aim of mutual education and also discussion of the various methods of instruction. In order to start on this fertile road, every German teacher should take advantage of the good suggestions our paper has disseminated; then the beneficent effect on the American schools will soon be visible... Every German teacher should make it his special task to transmit the German language in its purity to the young generation and to put an end to the nonsense of the so-called "Pennsylvania Dutch."

It already may be regarded as certain that Germandom will play in no distant future an eminent role in America...
