While thu vote v.as bt'ing counted Elvin N. Edaw-dii brought up the question of teaching German in the schools and after an exciting discus¬ sion in which several took part, reso¬ lutions were unanimously passed re¬ questing the Board to discontinue from that time the teaching of Ger¬ man in all Freeport schools and sub¬ stituting French and Spaninh in their stead.
Upon motion of Village Trustee Henry L. Maxson the clerk of tho Board was directetl to send copies of the motions to Governor Whitman, Assemblymen McWhinney and Coles, State Senator Thompson and the State Education Department.
