This step is very interesting especially that it comes from the most repre- sentative organization and the endorsement of the Merchants is an important one in dispell- ing some of the feeling against the Boy Scout organization. The endorsement came in tihe form of appointing of a commit- tee that vvill act in the same capacity that the Troop Commit- tee in regular numbered troops have in distinction to the Lone Scouts a part of vvhich the Sil¬ ver Fox Tribe is a member. Nevv life and nevv activity is the natural outeome of the en¬ dorsement because from now on the members of the troop vvill feel tihat they are a recognized part of the St. Clair Community activities.

Kern and Mr. Boži¬ dar Jakac vvere.the guests of honor for the evening, Dr- Kern as the principal of the Slovene School and Mr. Božidar Jakac as the visiting guest. Dr. Frank J. Kern addressed the school and recounted the things that the school has al- ready done and the benefits that are derived not only by the stu- dents and the community. He also explained the method and the plan that the Slovene School is follovving and assured ali that any suggestions vvill be vvelcome to the school board. Mr. Božidar Jakac took as the subject of his talk the critical period of Slovene language and Slovene literature. Mr. Jakac pointed out the difficulty that the Slovenes have had in retain- ing their literature vvith the constant influx and influence of the German culture and the Romantic as expressed by the Italian. “Imagine the difficul- ties and the stubborness of the Slovenes who have been sub- jected to many centuries of Ger¬ man domination and they hav^e retained their language and ovvn separate culture despite every- thing that could be done to pre- vent its spread and to prevent its normal grovvth. It vvas a blessing and at the same time a curse of the Sloveniš that they could not afford to send their off-spring to the Universities and the schools—a curse be- cattee they (ali Slovenes) did not have any educated people and a blessing because ali the pupils at the universities vvere lost to the Slovenes. The pre-vvar and the World War period Mr. Jakac termed as the most critical period of the Slovene language and liter¬ ature because during that time the mere knovvledge of Slovene vvas reason enough that a soldier vvas sent into the first line trenches or if „he vvere hehind the front it vvas reason of put- ting him to small rations.” Of the actual conditions in Slovenia Mr. Jakac had the highest praise for the selfsacri- ficing author vvho vvas so in- tensely interested in the Slovene that he vvrote Slovene in face of the fact that he muist be alone in its vvork and get no substancial returns for the ef- fort expended. “The author vvho by his industry managed to have his vvorks published at no financial benefit to himself vvas the real preserver of the language and vvith their efforts they have produced some of the best vvorks that are extant in (Continued on page 4) Fage 2 CLEVELAND JOURNAL February I3th *> (Elmlattii Inurnal’ ’ Published every Thursday by The American - Jugoslav Prin ting and Publishing Company . _«418 St, Clair Avo.— Cleveland Ohio hrank Suhadolnik, Editor Business Mgr., G.

Nothing pleases her more than that you show that you are interested in the language that she speaks and the language that is her language” those are the words that Mr. Božidar Jakac spoke when he addressecl the members at their weekly school night last Friday, Feb. 7th. Such an ennobiling idea is worthy of seilous con- sideration of ali who really love their parents and espe- cially the love that is naturaliy shown any mother. The thought strikes a sympathetic response in the heart of every trne son and claughter and it is very important in the life of every Slovene young man and every young woman. The very thought that the speaking of Slovene j to one’s own mother is so stirring and so impulsive that ! nothing else can compare with it when one feels that feeling of love for mother. It is also sad to know that there are many who in their desire to get away from the acknowledgenient that they are Slovene are always anxious in getting away from Slovene diction and Slovene speecli in the very ! home in which they were raised and they received ali the things that they can boast of today.

There is no one who will contend that the home is not the palače of the parents and there is no one who will not admit that the fatlver and mother ai'e not the heads or the rulers in the home and stili they will not show that they are conscious of the oft repeated motto “When in Rome do as a Roman does”. The Slovene home is the plače where Slovene is sp oken by preference and it is there that the father and mother can best ex- press themse.lv.es in Jherrianguage that they are most ac- qtiaihted. It is not said that they cannot speak arij other language but Slovene is the language that to them is the natural language. At any royal court or the court of diplomacv the language of the court is the language in which the visitor is expected to express himself.

The continual battle arriong the church- men had the effect, that, the common people could not be convineed of the new gospel nor had they the suffi- cient irištrilction to knov the true doctrine of the former Slovenes. As a result their faith became very weak and vithout the background of religion they be¬ came very licencous^ and immoral. Dishonesty, drunkennesš, and looseness in morals became rootecl in the life of the people. Nobles took the tithes of the hospitals and used them for their own purpdses. These things forced the government to take active steps against Protestantism and in the hope of re- storing old conditions they suppressed it with ali the ability they vere capable of. Such is the reviev of the Protestant era in Slo-- venia. Nov we vili proceed to the men vho vere con. neeted in the movement and also their works. II _ PRIMOŽ TRUBAR Coir.cidentall.v the first Slovene vriter had the greatest effect on the language of the Slovenes and the man, vho vas the most active Protestant of the Slovene lands vas Primož Trubar. Primož Trubar vas born on June 8, 1508 at Ras- cica. He vas sent to school at Reka in 1521 and later at the high school at Saltzburg. While he vas there his father, a carpenter, vas hung for partaking in the Peasaht uprising of 1525. Triough never we!l- to-do nor having the money to live as a regular štu¬ dent he gained his living by singing in the choir or by singing carois in the stveets and accepting alms that vere offered. While in this occunation at the uni- versity of Vienna, it is possible, that he attraeted the notice of Peter Bonomo, the bishop of Trzic. The bis- hop employed him as a singer in the cathedral and as a personal Jttendant. With this environment he studied for the priesthood but even vith the bishop vho favored Lutheranism he became imbued vith the špirit of the nev religion. Soon he vas given the pastorate of the parish at Loka and vith this he vas soon given the supervisioh and the čare of the church of St. Maximilian at Cel j. With the income of the charges giv^n him he vas able to complete the theolo- .gical education at Vienna though he did not attend the University. His education in general vas poor and his knovledge of the languages vas not the most thorough but he could speak vith some difficuity th£ Italian German and Latin. Primož Trubar vas conseerated a priest, in the year 1530, and vas made a preacher in Trieste. In less than a vear he vas transferred to the old plače at Loka and there he became erigaged in the first battle of the nev religion against the old. When the Catholics vished to 'build a church in honor of St. Roch Trubar vas so active in the contradic-ting of the pur- pose that he vas so genuinely riated by the peop’e that he vas glad vhen he vas removed from his mission and offered the position of a preacher at the Cathedral of Ljubljana. Besides this position he vas also the pastor of a church in Starjariseh province and another in Italy.

In ten short years the Slovenes have their own uni- versity that has as brilliant a faculty as any in Europe. As one example of the scholarly na¬ ture of the Slovenes let me point to the čase of Lovrin a professor at the Oxford Univer- sity in London. “The greatest fault of the Slovene however is not that he has no ability but that he feels so inferior that he will not feel proud of his own work.” In conclusion Mi\ Jgkac ad- vanced the loftiest and the most šublime reason for the study of the Slovene “The speaking of Slovene to your own mother is the best reason for nothing pleases more than that you are interested in the lan- guage that she speaks and it is the highest tribute that anyone can give his mohter when one give his mother when one speaks speaks iher language.” her language.” After the lecture Mr. Božidar Jakac chatted to the members of the class in his own youthful and enthusiastic manner for Mr Jakac is nothing of the temper- mental artists that the cartoon- ists are so fond of representing.

Others are equally interested in getting the effects of Mr- West and ali are working against the others to make themselves the rightful heirs.
