You may think IL unnecessary for ,hr
societies to maintain such schools, since
the public school system provides SINH

But remember the average immigrant
is elannish. and prefers his own. jus,
as you or l undoubtedly would in a
strange land. Many a Russian Jew, who
would not enter a public night school,
has enthusiastically attended the school
for adults Of the Baron dc Hirsch Fund.
In like manner. Italians, Bohemians. and
who not, prefer to take their first les
sons in Americanism from their own
eountrymen through the societies main
tanned by them.
Perhaps the greatest care in these
schools is given to instilling patriotism
in the students, young and old. Once
a week the children who attend the
Baron de Hirsch classes join in patri-
otto exercises. MY Country, IT'S Of
Thee" Hail Columbia" The Star
Spangled Banner" are wonderfully and
fearfuily sung. The lives Of the repub-
lies heroes are told in simple language
by the teachers. Whole hearted devo-

Most impressive of all is the admins
tering Of the oath OF allegiance to the
flag. Here is the oath. written especially
for the exercises:

Absorbed rs the average foreigner In
America Is In hustling around for n liv-
ing and catching on to the ways OF the
new land simultaneously. he yet finds
time to care for the newly landed i'm.
migrant from his native country. And
more, he generally manages to find some
spare money for the same object.
From the moment an immigrant sets
foot on Ellis Island until he Is well
placed In the new world. he may be
guided and protee,ed-as 4 general rule,
free Of COSTLY a society OF his own
countrymen, IL he so elects.
Thousands OF new arrivals unhesita,,
ingly place themselves In the care OF the
various immigrant societies in the course
Of a twelve month last year one Of the
one hundred and fifty Italian immigrant
organizations In Greater New York
looked after about fifty thousand immi-
grants. The Italian societies are num-
erous because Of the fact that the Ital-
ian Is q very provincial human being.
The men from Naples like to care for
arrivals from Naples only. So II Is with
the men from Venice. and Rome, and
Sicily; hence, the large number Of Ital-
lar societies.
These are the only immigrants among
the million odd arriving at the port OF
New York in a year Of whom It may
be said that they are not repeatedly vic
timized before they have cut their eye
teeth, before they have learned to their
sorrow that, though every man in Amer
lea is free, it is not logical to conclude,
therefore, that every man is honest.
One of the chief objects of all the
societies looking after the green immi-
grant Is to protect him from the shys-
tiers, swindlers, dishonest hotel and
clearinghouse runners, and employ
ment agents aud other crooks who flock
wherever immigrants land, in the hope
of securing victims galore for the fat
tening of their pocketbooks. Far toe
often they are successful, and so greedy
are they that they have frequently SCI
upon and attacked agents Of the immi'
grant societies coming between them
and their otherwise easy prey.
In the neighborhood OF the Barge
Office, New York, where the immigrants
passing through Ellis Island land, the
harpies are to be found in great mum
bers. To circumvent them as much al
possible the immigrant societies main
