tions. and gains information about
travelling, the use of stations, and the
ordinary routine Of business Office.
In the education OF the adult for
eigner lies an important opportunity
for the making of good American citi-
zens. so in the night school atter the
elementary stage OF grasping the form
of the language is passed comes the
real training for citizenship. This may
begin with the reading Of current
events in the newspapers 80 that the
immigrant may participate intelli-
gently in community life. Elementary
facts about the city government will
follow. This will include the regula-
tions in regard to public health, police
protection. taxes. etc Under these
headings as specific incidents are dis
cussed the individual will see how
he can contribute TO disease preven-
tion, city sanitation, and his own per
sonal health and welfare.
All of the course planned for the
local schools will help directly in
passing the examination for citizen
ship papers. and will include an out
line Of civil government and the his
tory OF the United States.
II is hoped TO have at all the schools
on January and for several nights
following some one who can speal,
the foreign languages and make the
necessary explanation to those who
understand no English. The regular
teachers will be chiefly from the pub
lie schools and. though not familiar
with the language OF the pupils. some
OF them have had experience in teach
ing foreigners, and will do their best
TO understand and meet the needs OF
those who attend the schools.

give actual publicity to at least most
of the acts of the general assembly.

bank law which went into effect on
