Naturalization, Washington.
Among the approximately 14,OOO,-
900 foreign born residents in the Unit
ed States in 1910, 1,650,361 foreign
born whites were classified as litter
ate. These i~lliterates are the natural
prey of designing and scheming for
eigners and natives as well, and are
compelled to pay tribute, both in cash
and blood, for very service real or i'm
agined.
For years, this condition has been
studied by the bureau of Naturaliza-
ton in it's application to the admins
tration of the naturalization law. It
is safe to state that although $4,000
foreigners have been refused citizen
ship because of mental and moral un-
fitness during the period of Federal
supervision, at least that many have
been admitted during the same period
in spite of these deficiencies, for the
courts have been reluctant to refuse
citizenship where proper education ia
cllities have not been provided. In
many places public schools have, under
the inspiration Of the Bureau of Ma
t~urallzation, now opened their doors to
the foreigner so that he may be in
structed in the duties of American cit
izenship, and in these localities the
courts have readily responded to the
new order of things and refused citi-
zenship unless the candidate could
come up to the higher standard which
has been brought about by the Fed
eral supervision. This system the
Bureau has tried out for years and
with success in various localities and
there is now scarcely a state in the
whole country that does not have cit
izenship classes carried on either by
the public schools or under the direc-
ton of private agencies.
1t it confidently believed by those
who have made an exhaustive study. of
existing conditions that this great ma
ton wide educational movement will,
beyond question, change that portion
of the alien body which is now in a
condition Of helpless dependence and
mere self-maintenance to a state Of
productive capacity.

Mr.. Nelson Sauvain, S%uperinten-
rent of the Devils Lake City schools,
IS been in communication with the
.;ureau of Naturalization of the De-
artment. of labor relative to the ma
tion-wide movement promulgated and
fostered by having for its object the
Americanization Of alien residents of
this country. This movement has
been in~augurated with a view to the
instruction of aliens in the English
language and the principles of govern
ment, so that when citizenship has
been acquired they will be producing
rather than dependent members of the
community. Mr.. Sauvain has ex-
pressed his keen interest in the plan
and has signitied his desire cordially
to cooperate with the Bureau of Ma
turaliZation in the furtherance of it's
educational program. In his letter
MIR. Sauvain says:
II have given the matter some con-
%sideration, and believe that we may be
able to do something to offer advan-
tages to the adult aliens Of cur 10

DODGERS HAVE CHANCE
President of Brooklyn Club. of Ma
tional League. Will Be Satisfied
Where Team Finishes.

The pennant prospects of my team are
as bright as those of any of the clubs
that are mixed in the thrilling National
League battle-but no brighter. It's q
fight such as baseball never has seen be.
fore, and although l have the absolute
confidence in my team, it would be fool.
hardy for me to claim the pennant now
Baseball is an uncertain game. and this
year, above all others, is a year of un.
certainty. In this battle, where at leas,
five teams seem almost evenly matched
the result may remain in doubt until the
last week of the season.
The Brooklyn team is a young team;
practically a new team. OF the twenty
one men under contract, nine are wearing
Brooklyn uniforms for the first time. Six
of these, in fact, never had major league
experience prior to this season. OF the
remaining twelve, five have been under
contract to Brooklyn for two seasons, and
the seven others for three years or more.
The team, as it is now constituted Is a
woodworking. fast-traveling machine.
But the Welding together took time, and
the experiments cost us many games dur
ing the early part of the season. We got
away poorly and didn't really start until
July 1, by which time Manager Robinson
had secured the winning combination.
Since July l the Brooklyns have greatly
improved in all departments, making a
wonderful squirt from last place to Sec
ond. 1t has been said they are travelling
beyond their real speed, but this. 1 be-
lieve. is not true; on the contrary, had
the boys batted as they did in 1913 and
1914. they would be so far ahead at this
time that it would be impossible to over
take them.
The boys deserve great credit for the
good work done to date.
The team is well-balanced team. It
has an exceptionally strong pitching staff !;
it is ambitious; has confidence in its abil-
ity: 1t works tremendously, and 1t IL
fighting and hustling all the time.
Wherever the team finishes 1 shall be
satisfied with the knowledge that they
have done their best.
