EDUCATE NEW CITIZENS
IS LABOR BUREAU PLAN
Each Applicant for Citizenship Un.
able to Use English Urged to
Attend School.

In an effort to help aliens in this
country to become good citizens by the
time they get their final naturalization
papers the bureau of naturalization OF
the Department of Labor is getting in
touch with boards of education all over
the country. The purpose is to get the
aliens into special classes, where they
may learn the full meaning of Ameri-
can citizenship.
A goodly percentage Of the candi-
dates for first papers come from the
early arriving immigrants Many who
are admitted to citizenship are unable
to inscribe their names in tho English
language, but do so in foreign char
acters unintelligible to the American
born. Many who are admitted to citi-
Zenship have only the most meager
ability to speak our tongue, and have
but slight ability to comprehend it.
To overcome this, the bureau of nat
uralization has extended its efforts
throughout the United States and
brought its educational movement to
the attention of all Of the superintend-
ents of public schools, wherever there
is any foreign population, for the pur-
pose of enliSting these educators in car
rying forward this movement. Personal
letters have been addressed to the SUI
perintendents of schools of th. cities

an effort to stimulate interest in this
work in every locality where foreign

Remedies Are Inexpensive.

Flies may be driven from the stables
and other refuse breeding sources by
the use of comparatively inexpensive
substances, such as borax and hellebore
With these favorite haunts eliminated
and with citizens using precaution in
keeping garbage cans covered and
their homes properly screened the fly
will find the fight for existence a los
ing one. The means for fly extermina-
tion are at hand: it is now only ques-
ton, government officials believe, OF
instructing the public how to apply
them. Already there are said to be evi-
dences of an awakening appreciation
by the public of the value of preventive
as opposed to suppressive measures in
dealing with flies. and 1t is only Ques-
tion of time, according to the sant-
tarians who are studying this problem,
when the new line of attack will put
the dangerous, disease carrying house
fly down and out for all time.

agrees to Help.

The bureau has also discussed its plan
personally with the superintendents Of
schools and presidents of boards Of
education in the various eastern cities.
and they have agreed unanimously to
lend their support in opening the doors
of the public schools for the instruction
Of the foreigner where there are no
schools now in existence, and to ex-
tend the activities of the schools estab-
lished for this purpose SO as to meet
with the desires of the bureau of nat
uralization. Additional conferences
will be held during the next thirty days
with the educational authorities in all
of the principal cities in the country.
The bureau of naturalization receives
the duplicates of all naturalization pa
pers from $500 naturalization courts
all over the United States, and in it's
letters to the superintendents of schools
has shown the number of foreigners
applying for citizenship during the
past three years in the localities to
