EDUCATION OF IMMIGRANTS

That Immigrants are keenly inter- ested in schooling for their children, ors at least conspicuousIy obedient to school o1-attendance laws, is the decla- ration Of Dr. P. F. Claxton, United
 States Comnnissioner of Education.
 ssThe least i1lfterate Of our popula- ton are the nattve-born children of
 foreign parents, z says Dr. CIaxton, in
 q bulletin on education for innai-
 grants just issued. ssThe tlliteracy
 among the children Of native born children of foreign parents. $
 pr. Claxton reviews the whole prob lem of education for Immigrants, in and out of school. ITO the people of no other country Is the problem
 of so much importance as to 4he people of the United States No
 other country has so many naen. wo-. men and children coming to it's shores every year. from all parts of the world.
 Many of those who have come so
 us in recent years are from coun- tries having very Ineager provisions for public educatfon. According to. the Federal census Of 1910 more than 25 per cent of the forefgn-born pops u1ation Of Stages was ilIfterate. from Is to 25 per cent. of States, from 10 to 15 per cent. Of 1T States. and from to 10 per cent. of 21 States. In only one State was the percentage of illiteracy of the foreign born popula- ton less than 5. E
 Many of the Immigrants In re- cent years have little k1nship with the older stocks Of our population either in blood. language, methods of thought, traditions, manners, or cus-S toms; they know little of our politi-s cal and civic life and are unused tos our social ideals; their environment here is wholly different from that to- which they have been accustomeds Strangers to each other, frequently from countries hostile to each other by tradition, of different speech and creeds. they are thrown together ; strangers among strangers, in a strange country, and are thought of by us only as a conglonerate mass of Of foreigners. With little attention to their specific needs, they ares crowded into factories. mines, and mines, and dirty tenement quarters. too often the prey of the exp1oiter n business and the dernagogue in pol-s itics.
 Immigrant education is not alone the question of the school education, of children. The millions of adult men and women. and of children old

 COMING MILLINERY Y

The rumors Of a coming fad for viv- id; brilliant color in the spring gowns and millinery will have to be taken with a grain of salt. as experience has taught us last season. Memories Of
 riotous, co1ors land color harmoniss tor diseords with which eoutuTiers and naodfstes surprised us last August are fresh in our minds. Then many for
 eign buyers were swept away by the
 new vogue without offering the slight est resistance uch to their regret,
 for very shortly after. the Parisienne
 herself appeared on the scene. and with the Broom of her refined taste
 carefully whisked away every crsad e
 tone and every ciashing contrast, Ieav-
 Ing styles which. though decidedly
 unique and eninent1y chic, were free
 from every trace of barbarism.
