    Languages of Ethnicity: Teaching German in Waterloo County’s Schools, 1850–1915 BARBARA LORENZKOWSKI* The German-language classroom in the public schools of Waterloo County, Ontario, thrust the local ethnicity of the region into the public eye and provoked public conversations on the meaning of the German language and its importance to cultural identity. Ethnic leaders vocally sought to preserve their mother tongue in its ancestral “purity” and to boost enrolment in German-language programmes in the schools. Yet the languages of ethnicity in Waterloo County were not bound by the standard German that ethnic leaders sought to perpetuate as the only legiti- mate expression of the mother tongue. Rather, a local language that infused German with English phrases, syntax, words, and idiom remained a medium of communi- cation well into the twentieth century. This fluid new medium — “pidgin” German, as ethnic leaders derisively called it — reflected the cultural hybrid that was Waterloo County. La classe d’allemand des e´coles publiques du comte´ de Waterloo, en Ontario, a braque´ le feu des projecteurs sur l’ethnicite´ locale de la re´gion et suscite´ des de´bats publics sur le sens a` donner a` la langue allemande et sur l’importance de celle-ci comme vecteur d’identite´ culturelle. Les leaders ethniques cherchaient ardemment a` pre´server la « purete´ » ancestrale de leur langue maternelle et a` stimu- ler l’inscription aux programmes d’enseignement de l’allemand. Or, les langues de l’ethnicite´ dans le comte´ de Waterloo n’e´taient pas assujetties a` la norme allemande dont les leaders ethniques cherchaient a` faire la seule expression le´gitime de la langue maternelle.

  • “Be British Or Be D–D”: Primary Education in Berlin-Kitchener, Ontario, During the First World War
    “Be British or be d–d”: Primary Education in Berlin-Kitchener, Ontario, during the First World War MARIO NATHAN COSCHI* Prior to the First World War, the sizeable ethnic German population of Berlin, Ontario, was praised by Anglo-Canadians and even Governors General for having positive racial qualities and for forming the most desirable type of citizens. During the war, however, owing to their ethnicity, these same people were judged to have failed in their duties of citizenship, measured now in supporting the war effort with manpower, money, and enthusiasm. Public schools in Berlin sought to compensate for the supposed failings, as citizens, of the city’s residents. Although they had previously supported an understanding of Canadian citizenship that accepted Germans, schools now sought to make students ashamed of their German heritage and taught a version of Canadian citizenship that stressed Anglo-conformity and rejected German ethnicity as one of its components. Avant la Première Guerre mondiale, les Canadiens-anglais et même certains gouverneurs généraux faisaient l’éloge des nombreux résidents allemands de Berlin (Ontario), dont ils appréciaient les qualités positives et qu’ils dépeignaient comme des citoyens du meilleur calibre. Au cours de la guerre, cependant, on leur a reproché, en raison de leur origine ethnique, de manquer à leur devoir de citoyenneté, devoir qui se mesurait maintenant à l’aune de la participation humaine, financière et morale à l’effort de guerre. Les écoles publiques de la ville ont alors cherché à pallier les lacunes supposées des résidents. Bien qu’ayant auparavant défendu une définition de la citoyenneté canadienne inclusive pour les Allemands, elles se sont mises à dénigrer la culture allemande et à préconiser une version de la citoyenneté canadienne insistant sur la conformité anglo-idéale et rejetant toute trace d’ethnicité allemande.

  • Ethnic Elites, Propaganda, Recruiting and Intelligence in German-Canadian Ontario, 1914-1918 by © Curtis B
    Ethnic Elites, Propaganda, Recruiting and Intelligence in German-Canadian Ontario, 1914-1918 by © Curtis B. Robinson a thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD History Memorial University of Newfoundland March 2019 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador A Special Dedication in Memory of two friends and mentors Dr. Darren Christopher Hynes 1963-2014 and Christine Watmore 1934-2016 ii Abstract This case study provides the basis for a potential linking of the work of Marxist intelligence historians and the disciples of the insecurity state thesis. The rise of “Reasoning otherwise” as described by Ian McKay, refers to the erosion of the liberal order on the part of Canadian socialists in the early part of the twentieth century. This process was speeded up in direct response to the wartime economy which through state intervention also saw the undermining of the liberal principles of free market economics and manpower management. The rise of the insecurity state was part of the state’s move away from the foundational liberal order. Ultimately the insecurity state’s existence depended upon the growth of industrial capitalism in Canada and directly related to the evolution in reasoning otherwise. It was in the heavily populated and ethnically diverse urban centres where state fears about the growth of unions and the spread of communist revolutionary ideas, as well as other causes of civil unrest, originated. It was these areas that warranted, in the eyes of the Department of Militia and Defence, the deployment of intelligence officers, watchers, and infiltrators.
