The exclusion of the German language as a subject in our public schools probably will be realized, and there is little doubt that the majority of the populace will be in accord with the measure. The only question is the attitude taken toward it by Mayor Thompson, head of the "sixth largest German city," as he styled himself a short time ago apropos of the reception of the English and French delegations here.

The School Board is appointed by him; yet it has taken the step to eliminate the German language. This action will certainly displease our pro-German "Burgermeister" (Mayor).
