A _professor_, it is said, wishing to curry favor with his royal pupil, informed him _overnight_ of the chapter in Greek that was to be made the _subject_ of the next day’s lesson. The young _prince_ did what many boys would not have done. As soon as the classroom was _opened_ on the following morning, he entered and wrote _conspicuously_ on the blackboard the _information_ that had been given him. One may say _unhesitatingly_ that a boy capable of such an action has the root of a fine _character_ in him, _possesses_ that _chivalrous_ sense of fair play which is the nearest thing to a _religion_ that may be looked for at that age, hates _meanness_ and _favoritism_, and will, _wherever possible_, expose them. There is in him a _fundamental_ bent toward what is clean, manly, and aboveboard. The copy of the book before me bears the imprint, “Board of Education, City of Chicago, 1914.” The Kaiser’s “chivalrous sense of fair play” has, of course, ceased to be a matter of public instruction in the Western metropolis. “Im Vaterland,” a German reading-book used in a number of Western schools, states frankly in its preface that it was “made in Germany,” and that “after the manuscript had been completed it was manifolded and copies were criticised by teachers in Prussia, Saxony, and Bavaria.” In contrast with the equivocal loyalty of Germans who have sought to perpetuate and accentuate the hyphen, it is a pleasure to testify to the admirable spirit with which the Jewish people in these Western States have repeatedly manifested their devotion to America. Many of these are of German birth or the children of German immigrants, and yet I am aware of no instance of a German Jew in the region most familiar to me who has not warmly supported the American cause. They have not only given generously to the Red Cross and to funds for French and Belgian relief, quite independently of their efforts in behalf of people of their own race in other countries, but they have rendered most important aid in all other branches of war activities. No finer declaration of whole-hearted Americanism has been made by any American of German birth than that expressed (significantly at Milwaukee) by Mr. Otto H. Kahn, of New York, last January:
