BETTER CITIZENSHIP.

Efforts for better citizenship are to
be encouraged at every opportunity
and that is what the United States
bureau of education is engaged in in
addressing itself to the stimulation of
desire among the foreign born to
acquire a knowledge of the. English
language. This is an effort in behalf
of Americanisn which cannot have
too much support.
When people come to this country
to accept the advantages which it holds
out to them it is highly important that
more than the financial side of the
opportunity should be presented to them
and especially when they hope 70 be-
come American citizens. 1t is import
ant not only for making them better
! acquainted with the conditions here,
/, the institutions of the country and its
! ideals, but it is necessary if they are
/ going to become American citizens in
ifact7as well as in name IT is means
] Of putting an end to the hyphenated
citizenship and rendering them less
liable to the influence of those who
/ would have them serve two countries
at the same time.
What an opportunity exists in this
direction is shown by the fact that
there are over 5000, 900 foreign born
/ whites in this country over the age
of ten who cannot read or write Eng
fish. while those who can read or write
in any language are not over half of
| that number. Thus it can be seen that
there is large field for operations
and none ought to appreciate such ar
| endeavor as has been started more
than those who are in the way to OBJ
tain so much benefit tterefrom, except
it be those who understand what
American citizenship is and the neces-
sity Of placing its full merits befor,
those who need it so much. It is 6
good work which should receive ever.

Much good should result from the

delegates from various, sections inter-

just such gatherings that the efforts
have been 50 widely extended and such
enlightenment and appreciable results
obtained, and every such gathering in
dicates how the good work Is going on.
Connecticut has been deeply inter.

long time and it was a decided COM
pliment which was paid to the efforts
put forward in this commonwealth
when Dr. c. j. Hatfield of New York,

adopted throughout the country. This
is the work in which J. F. Gunsl1anan

siastic advocacy of the idea has ex-

there can be no question but what

RussiA's NEW ARCTIC PORT.

That Russia has gone about the So
luton of one of its fandicaps in a
sensible manner is indicated by the
double announcement which is made
at this time to the effect that ice has
closed its port Of Archangel on the
White sea but that early next month
there will be completed and ready for
use a double track railroad running
to Ekaterina, an Arctic port, which is
open the entire year owing to the near
ness of the gulf stream.
When it is realized that Russia has
depended upon Archangel for the de-
livery Of necessities including war
supplies since its ports depending on
the Dardanelles were closed, it can be
appreciated that it faced a serious
handicap unless it was possible to re-
tain communication with the outside
world otherwise than by the long haul
from Vladivostok. The idea Of ice
breaking steamers offered little pros
