In your paper of February 21st, is

man from Naples or any large city
but the man who has worked on the
soil in the careful way prevalent in
Italy, where every square foot is cul-
tivated fully. The great drawback to
American employers is his ignorance
of English. His women folk do not
go into domestic service, so unless
some effort is made to teach him Eng

by the public school board here, has
