Dear student,

The motive of Prussians behind this order was the imposition of
rule and power After France was defeated, an order came from Berlin
that German language was to be imposed on the French speaking
populations of Alsace and Lorraine
"Don't go so fast bub, you'll get to your school in plenty of
time " The lines were spoken in a mocking tone because there was no
need for Franz to hurry to school as unbeknownst to him, it was
going to be the last lesson The order had come from Berlin to teach
only German in the German occupied territories of Alsace and
Lorraine The new master was due to arrive the next day so it was
going to be the last French lesson Franz need not have worried
because everybody was there for this last lesson and it was a
special occasion indeed
