Some of them afterward returned and

Judges of the naturalization courts

Among the approximately 14,000,0O0

natural prey Of the designing and

been studied by the bureau of natural

ministration OF law. 1t is safe to say
that. although $1,000 foreigners have

that many have been admitted In spite
of these deficiencies during the period
of federal supervision. The courts
have been reluctant to refuse citizen.

be ignorant OF our institutions or OF
the privileges conferred upon him
Especially is this so where there are
no facilities offered by the cities
and towns where the petitioners live
for overcoming these defects. In many
places the public schools have, under
the inspiration of the bureau. opened
their doors to the foreigner and taught
him the duties of citizenship. and In
these places the courts have refused
citizenship unless the candidates could
come up to the higher standard broughf
about by federal supervision. These
have been tried with success.
During the last year over $4,000 for
eigners declared their intention and pc
titioned for naturalization. This is tn
high water mark since federal supervl

greater than the number who come for

In some states 1t is as low as 2 per cent

ALIENS AS
USEFUL CITIZENS
Bureau OF Naturalization Tries
to Solve Problems.
STATISTICS PROVE AMAZING

During the Eight Years of Federal su-
pervision 100000 Foreigners Have
Asked For Citizenship, and Over Half
of These Signify Intention of At
tempting to Take Out Their Papers.
Washington.-Nearly 100000 for
eigners have asked for citizenship dur
ing the first eight and th~ree-quarter
year of federal supervision of the
naturalization law, according to a state
ment issued by the bureau Of natural
ization of the department OF labor.
Nearly 1,750,0O0 of these have declared
their intention or taken out their first
papers. Something over 10000 have
asked for final papers, and of these
about 100000 have been admitted to
citizenship. During the same period
upward of 5000 foreigners have been
refused permission to citizenship, over
one-half of these because of mental
and moral unfitness.
While the foregoing figures indicate
a large number coming forward for
citizenship, says the bureau. the num-
Der Toes not appear relatively very
large when 1t is known that In 1910
there were nearly 100000 foreigners
In this country, that of this number
100000 were not citizens and that
the foreign body has been increased
nearly 100000 annually since then.
BY far the larger portion of the for
cign residents have retained their al
legiance to the sovereignty of their
birth, and. as 1t appears, many of these
are ready TO respond to the call OF
these sovereignties. Many have gone
back who had declared their intention.
