Abstract
TWELVE months ago an influentially signed letter, dealing with the study of German in secondary schools, was sent to the President of the Board of Education. That letter pointed out the serious neglect into which the study of the German language is falling in secondary schools, and urged the Board to take steps to encourage and foster the teaching of German. It was made clear that the decline of German as a secondary-school subject is a matter of grave national importance from the points of view of general literary culture, the public services, practical utility, and of rendering a good understanding between the peoples of two great nations less easy.
