CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE MORE THAT
DOUBLE THAT OF ANY OTIIER ALASKA NEWSPAPER
ABOUT TEACHING SPANISH TO
AMERICANS.
Alfred Coester, Professor of Spanlsii, Stanford llni
versify, and Secretary-Treasurer cf the America!
Association of Teachers of Spanish, speaking at tin
Tenth National Foreign Trade Convention at New
Orleans told his hearers that the citizen, who, by hh
ii.Alienee encourages and assists the study of Spaniel
in his own local high school is effecting two things
he is helping to boost our foreign trade and he ii
performing a patriotic duty.
Professor Coestcr argued that Spanish is the key
to a constantly growing market for our goods, that
foreign trade will be better if a larger number ol
cur people have been trained to think in interna
tlcnal term? Furthermore, the study of Spanish, he
rtid. will create a body of public opinion in sym
patliy with Spa lib h-Ami rie a. This intelligent public
opinion will be reflected by a different attitude on thi
part of future administrations at Washington, am
this in turn will eventually modify the attitude of tin
Spanlrh-spi aklng countries toward the United States
The Stanford University representative went on ti
(' cribe propaganda In bat in-America iurpirod b;
in piclon of the good intentions of the United States
lb maintained that a wide knowledge of Spanish b;
the using generation would have a most beneficia
? * unit In doing away with misunderstandings of al
que: lions between North America and the Latin
American countries.
Referring specifically to the propaganda conductei
In 1 atln-American countries against the Unitec
States, Protestor booster said, "Such a mental attl
tpde cannot he changed over night. The tndlvidua
tfoder must labor against it ns best he may. Hu
I do believe that a widespread study of Spanish in tit
high schools and colleges of the United States wouli
effect a great change. If Spanish were a compuleor;
rtudy in every high school in Ihe country, the ttnn
would not bo far distant when an intelligent body
of public opinion would be formed, acquainted witl
things Latin-American and in sympathy with Latin
American condliionp. This educated public oplnior
viculd have such an immense influence on our govern
mental dealings with Latin America that it woulil
bring about a better feeling toward us and our sales
men who offer goods in those countries to the south.’
In conclusion the Professor said that in teaching
Spanish to prospective foreign traders, whether they
expert to do business on their own account or to hi
foreign correspondents, lie ’believed it necessary to in
struct them in tile psychology of their possible cus
turners.
Profeeeor Coester could have gone further and sail
that in teaching Spanish to Americans, particular!:
those who expect to follow commercial or englneerlni
■pursuits or journalism or the erafts, the students
■potential opportunities are being enlarged. In ad
dttion to the United States and Canada with thcii
120,000,000 population the remainder of the Americas
with 90,000,000 additional people are added to the
possible field of activities. In other words, the market
place for their talents is being very much enlarged.
SIEBOL1) OFF WRONG.
If Louis Slobold, who is making a political survey
of the country, is not more accurute in sizing up tlu
rituation in other place* than iio is the State ol
Washington, little credence should he given to hii
conclusions. His Seattle article is chiefly noted fot
the things lie says which are not true. Among then
is the following, referring to Senator Dill:
Then along came Clarence C. Dill, some
time reporter, always a dabble? in politics,
looking for a soft spot in the game. Mr.
Dill had been Republican, Progressive and
what not. His chief activity was looking
for a jbo.
The fact is that Mr. Dill has never been cither a
Progressive or a Republican. He lias never been a
member of any other political party than the Democratic.
He has served ao Democratic State Committeeman,
was Chairman of a Democratic Stale Convention,
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney of Spokane County, Sec
retary to Governor Lister, and twice elected to Con
gress us a Democrat. Whatever may bo said about
Senator Dill liis political affiliations have always been
Democratic.
COUNTRY AGAINST FEDERAL SCHOOL
CONTROL.
The United States Chamber of Commerce by a two
to one vote has decided against the Sterling-Towner
educational bill, against enlarging the Bureau of Kdu
cation, against a Cabinet Department of Education,
against nationalizing the public school system of the
country.
By a vete of three to two, the committee headed
by. James J. Storrcw and on which were Henry 8.
Pritchett of the Carnegie Foundation for Advance
ment of Teaching, Henry i) Sharpe of Providence,
R. I., Frank J. lxresch of Chicago and John U.
Lonsdale of St. Louis, after having spent a year and
taking the advice of a multitude of experts, voted as
did the United States Chamber of Commerce.
Both the United Stales Chamber of Commerce and
lithe Storrow Committee held that better results ca
| be at rained through local control of the schools, an
,|,the biiRiness men's organization feels, In additior
[ that a halt must be called in the centralization pre
cesses that have been at work in governmental mat
! tors in the United States. The time for a revlvt
’ of State Rights, the restoration of the governmentt
powers of the separate States, has arrived.
The National Woman's Party has asked the Got
ernor of Colorado to appoint a woman United State
,' Senator* It is such silly things as this that sho’
r the lack of need for a National Woman's Party. Th
question is not what 6hall be the sex of t(je nc
Colorado Senator hut whether the Centennial Stat
slrall have a big-brained American who will mak
r an up-standing Senator.

Ambassador from Peacham.

j he Roval .Society of St. George In London he boaste
that Peacham in Vermont was moro purely Englis
than any spot in England. ‘T point”—the gostui
I "-is magnificent ‘to my native township, whtc
jCi-ntahis no man, woman or child of other tha
English blood—not one.”
Then in the little town of Peacham In the hit
( spoke John Richter, a native German, who has kei
the leading store there for twenty-one years: “Geori
j Is talking through his hat again.” There are ev<
Eome Prench-Canadlan families In the neighborhoi

i " *n the least. A little question of accuracy
i not worth debating with tho Ambassador fro
