At an early period many of these vernaculars were the 6nly language spoken by them. But through the agency of the public schools English entered these homes. and in many if not most cases in time entirely supplanted the native tongue. One by one the language of the immigrant gave way to the language of the country of adoption. In this way. this country has become a great training place for the spread of English in other lands. For some years there has been growing up a strong sentiment not only to makeEnglish the language taught in the public schools. but to refuse the use of public funds to teach any other.
