| Abstract | This essay first traces the founding and early history of the German-English Academy and similar German-American schools, and describes the efforts of their founders and supporters to reform the Milwaukee public schools, particularly to implement German-language instruction therein. Then it discusses the adoption of German as an optional branch of study in the public grade school system and its impact on German-American private schooling. Finally, this essay presents an analysis of the crisis of German-language instruction that caused its decline and facilitated its abandonment during or after the First World War. |
