N0NENGLISH SPEAKING
ALIENS HANDICAPPED
Education Expert Points Out Necessity
of Teaching Immigrants
Our Language.

The necessity of teaching the adult
immigrant how to speak English as
soon as possible after his arrival Is
emphasized by DR.. II. H. Wheaton, of
the United States Bureau OF Educa-
ton. in a report just made public.
With the adult immigrant desire
for instruction and ability TO acquire
language are largely lost" says Dr.
Wheaton. yet inability to speak Eng
lish is the most serious barrier to in
tercourse between Americans and for
eiGners. Furthermore. employers ars
coming to see the necessity Of teaching
their foreign born employees the Eng
lish language and something of the
rules of safety. Experience shows
that large proportion of Industrial
accidents are due to the fact that
foreigners have not understood the or
ders of the foremen. \ canvass of
many employers of foreign born work
ingmen indicates that a knowledge of
English is urgently needed. This is
particularly true of railroads. steel
plants. and foundries."
In eight OF the principal cities of
the United States. according to Dr.
Wheaton. the number of foreign born
adults unable to speak English totals
over 100000. New York alone has
$4,000.
The types OF schools adapted to the
education of the immigrant are even
ing. industrial and camp schools.
The number of classes provided by
different cities" declares DR.. Wheaton,
lis far from adequate" Appropria-
tions are insufficient to provide the
requisite teaching. Failure to appre-
ciate the need of increase in accom-
modations is shown by the fact that
nineteen cities in the State of New
York. with a population of 1000 to
10000, and with the foreign-b born
population varying rom 1000 to 1000.
have no public night classes where i'm
migrants can learn the English Ian
guage.
DR.. Wheaton finds that private and
religious agencies have largely supple
mented the inadequate provisions made
by the State to teach adult immigrants
English and American laws and Gus
toms.

ture in the rocks, we looked down SOC
feet into a great snow field filling all
the eastern basin, and beyond this lay
the cleft of the MERGED Canyon. and, still
beyond. the magnificent snowy peaks of
the summit crest Lyell, Mcclure, Ritter,
Dana, host of others, all above l., 900
feet, all shining and cleaning in the bril-
liant sunshine with a radiance that hard
ly seemed to belong to this world.
Compensated Dfsappointment,
Well for US that this glorious vision
was compensation for all the many miles
we had climbed. for We got no farther
that day-and Clark still remains I'M
conquered. For We had anticipated the
season for mountain climbing by a fort
night or more. and the slope that should
have offered an easy rock climb to the
summit was now a precipitous wall OF
treacherous snow. We had no rope, no
might have cut steps, and the icy edge
where rock and snow met proved an in
Vlncible barrier TO the summit
Up and down the ridge We prowled,
over every ledge. into every chimney.
only to admit ourselves defeated in tn.
end.
For an hour or more we remained upon
the ridge feasting our eyes on the mary
elous panorama hundred miles or
snowy range, a magnificent alpine region,
the greater part of which is now almost
inaccessible, soon to be opened to travel
by the construction of the John Muir
trail.
After luncheon in camp a fifteen-mil.
walk back still lay ahead of us, Our de-
feat lay lightly upon US, for many noun
tain SUBMITS have been ours in the mas,
and We had had, after ALL the inspira-
ton and the uplift of the glorious upper
regions OF snow even if the exhilaration
OF the summit had been lacking. Down
among the great below OF yellow pines,
under the spreading arms of sugar pines
and out upon open crests covered with ,
manzenita and chinquapin We fastened
past Nevada and Vernal and down
through ths Happy Isles where thrushes
sang their evening songs. and into our /
Yosemite Valley camp.
