NATIONWIDE EDUCATION
MOVEMENT BEARS FRUIT
Efforts of Bureau of Naturalization
to Interest Aliens in Schools
Succeeding.

Efforts of the bureau of naturaliZa-
ton of the Department of Labor to in
terest candidates for American citizen
ship in the public schools and the
schools for the alien are bearing fruit.
Approximately 400 cities and towns
have Joined in this nationwide educa-
tional movement. and the number is
said to be increasing daily, according to
statement issued today by the natur-
alization bureau. Since the commence
ment of the school year, this statement
says, the bureau has notified approxi-
mately $4,000 aliens of the opportuni-
ties which await them in the public
night schools for improving their minds
to the end that they may become good
and useful American citizens by the
time their final papers arc issued.
1T is the intention of the bureau of
naturalization" said the statement, ito
communicate with all applicants for
citizenship in the United States, where
ever they are to be found, and to secure
the opening of classes for them. Dur
ing the current scholastic year all su-
perintendents of schools where classes
may be formed will receive monthly
from the bureau the name, address,
age, nationality and other necessary in
formation concerning each alien resid-
ing within their Jurisdiction who files
declaration of intention or petition
for naturalization. In this manner the
touch with such applicants and afford
them valuable assistance in preparing
for citizenship.
Benefits of Schooling Cited.
In addition to this the bureau informs
each applicant for citizenship that his
name has been forwarded to the educa-
tional authorities, advises him to go to
school and points out the benefits to
be derived from such attendance.
The bureau is also working in close
cooperation with various patriotic and
civic bodies of the country to secure
the opening of public night schools
where there are none
THE wives of all petitioners for
natura aliZation are also advised to at
tend school. for the reason that they
derive citizenship when their husbands
obtain their final papers, and because,
too, such instruction will materially
aid the family to live as Americans
live. 1t has been found that approx
mately two out of every three petit
tioners for naturaliZa tion are married,
and it is toward the improvement Of
the home life and conditions that this
phase of the movement is especially
directed
The present volume of naturaliZa-
tion shows that over half a million
foreign born residents annually bring
themselves within the jurisdiction of
the bureau of naturalization, and it is
the plan of the bureau, through the
cooperation of the public schools, with
it's educational movement, to change
that portion of the alien body now in
a condition of helpless Dependence br

productive capacity which is the birth

dresses by Miss Boardman, Ernest P.
Bicknell and Miss Jane Delano were a

tude of the European war, pointing out
to his auditors the thousands of miles
Of battle front, with more than 2O,O00.-
900 men engaged. and that the harvest
of wounded Is almost incomprehensibl q,
to the mind of one who has not seen
the actual conditions there.
All Will Be in Next War.
"If we ever have a war in the United
the European conflict" said Mr.. Bick-
nell. 1T will not be war just of
armies, but a war in which we will all
have to take a part, in which every citi-
zen in this country will have to strain
every nerve and resource. We cannot
afford to forget the lesson in Europe.
The situation there is a situation which
might be here
In this connection it was brought out
that the American Red Cross is set
ting aside one-tenth of all it's supplies
for use in case Of possible war in this
country.
Miss Delano told of some of the more
remote assignments given American
Red Cross nurses in Russia and Serbia,
and assured her hearers that the Amer
lean nurses in Europe are in no danger

she said. From it, Miss DeIano assert
ed. training schools for nurses will
arise following the war. based upon
American methods, which have intro

Cites Need for Legislation.

When asked if there were really any
need for such legislation in this coun-
try he said that careful stat!sticians
estimated that there were 100000
persons sick in the United States in
any one year. that each wage Garner
was estimated to lose, on an average,
nine days a year on account of sick
ness, and that If So day were taken
as the average wage, the wage loss
from sickness annually totals s500,000,-
Oo0 The average expenditure of IS
per person increases this huge sum by
SlS0,000,000. The burden of sickness
now borne entirely by the workman, it
is estimated, is responsible for fully
one-third of the poverty of this coun-
try. He also pointed out that vital
statistics Shove ed an alarming increase
in the deaths from the degenerative
diseases after workers had reached
middle life.
.'In view Of these facts" added DIR.
Harris "a state, in order to conserve
tine life, health and efficiency of its
workers, should introduce a measure
which would distribute the cost of
sickness among the worker, the en-
ployer and the state. and which would
furnish the workman with more ade-
auate medical care than he could af-
ford at present unless he accept char

Manchester. She is somewhat larger

steamer ON the Potomac, her hurricane

staff Since being built. in 1903, the
Majestic has been employed in eXcur-
sion service in the vicinity of New
York and for several years past has
run on a summer route from Newark,
" J., to Coney Island.
Having been employed exclusively on
a day route, the steamer has no state
rooms, but before she is placed in
service she will be fitted with about
forty-fiye rooms, which, with other
changes, Will make her suitable for
freight and passenger service on the Po-
iomac. The changes in the steamer, which
will probably be made here. will require
about six weeks or two months 10 COM

be the livest issue in social leglsla-

Harris is an author and translator OF

of the AMERICAN Association for Labor
Legislation.
In an interview today DIR. Harris dl-
rected attention to the course of Social
legislation in recent years. He con-
tinued:
In five years no less than twenty
seven states have enacted laws that
provide pensions for widows. and IN
five years thirty-one states have enact
ed laws to compensate workmen IN
jured at work. When the movement for
health insurance is universal it is prob

Diseases Due to Work.

Moreover" DIR. Harris added, pres
ent tendencies almost constitute
movement for an insurance system
which will enable workmen to have
adequate medical care. The extension
of compensation for accidents to in
clude a few strictly occupational dis
eases in California and in Massachu-
setts is a recognition of the fact that
industry is directly responsible Tor
these definitely occupational diseases
Dust noise, strained working positions,
long hours ana speeding up, all IN
herent in modern industry. are re-
sponsible for much tuberculosis an.
cmia and digestive dieOrders so COM
mon among working men and women.
DIR. Harris pointed out that California
has this year recognized the need for
further state protection for the health
of the industrial worker. and following
the success of workmen's compensation
has appointed a commission to study
other forms OF social insurance which
will protect the worker.
