¹ The American law regarding teaching in languages other than English is set out in Meyer v. State of Nebraska, 262 U. S. 390, and Bartels v. State of Iowa, 262 U. S. 404. In these decisions, state laws which permitted the teaching of foreign languages only to students who had passed the eighth grade were declared unconstitutional because, in the years after the World War, “no emergency has arisen which renders knowledge by a child of some language other than English so clearly harmful as to justify its inhibition with the consequent infringement of rights long freely enjoyed” (p. 403).
