Newark post., 1915-09-01

Among the foreign-born whites,
the males over 21 years of age
numbered sits for the entire
State, and 6,754 for Wilmington.
Alien males among them were
3,189 for the State and 2,671 for
Wilmington.
Illiterates among the foreign
born whites in Delaware were
1859, or 1913 per cent, while in
Wilmington alone they were 1905
or 21.8 per cent.
There were 449 petitions for nat
uralization in Delaware in 1911
1914. Of this number, Ala are
credited to Wilmington. There
were 875 declarations of intention
to become citizens, in the entire
State nthe same period. Of these
Wilmington claimed S22.
Probably no other State in the
Union can show so high a percent,
age Of city dwellers among its for.
eign-born whites, and certainly
the fact of the city dwellers being
credited wholly to one city is
unique.

Of Middletown, in which he was
returning from Augustine Park
with a party of friends, one night

only of the car were burning, the

the other. Solomon Rosenberg OF

Delaware To Have
Classes In Citizenship

Delaware is to share in the ma
tion-wide educational campaign to
bring the foreign-born white pop
ulation of the United States into
the rolls of citizenship, according
to recent government announce
ment. Wilmington is to be the
scene of public school classes for
candidates for citizenship, at the
direct request of the United States
Bureau of Naturalization, convey
ed to the Board of Education and
Superintendent Of Schools.
Among the approximately IA,
100000 foreign alien residents,
1,650,361 are classed as illiterate,"
says the statement issued by the
Bureau. "These illiterates are the
natural prey Of the designing and
scheming foreigners and natives,
as we'll, at every turn. They COM
pei them to pay tribute, both in
cash and blood, for every service
both real and imagined, and in the
qualification Of their desires, how
t,rl, unstrLpLlous and unnatural.
For years, this condition has
been studied by the Bureau of Nat
uralization in it's application to the
administration of the naturaliza-
tion law. 1t is safe to state that
although $4,000 foreigners have
been refused citizenship because
of mental and moral unftness, at
least that many have been admit
ted to citizenship in spite of these
deficiencies, during the period of
Federal supervision, since June,
1906. The courts have been reluc-
tant to refuse citizenship to can
didate, even though he be ignorant
Of our institutions or of the privil-
eges conferred upon him. Especi-
ally is this so where there are nc
facilities offered by the cities and
towns where the petitioners live
for overcoming these defects"
Hence the Bureau has appealed
to the superintendents of schools
in all of the principal cities of the
country to open classes for adult
intending citizens. Conferences
with school authorities throughout
the Eastern States have been helC
during the present summer. By
the time the public schools are re
opened in September, every large
city will offer schooling to candi
dates for citizenship. At the same
time literature pointing out thu
'Individual, personal, industrial
social and moral advantages
which attendance upon thes,
schools will give him, will be mail
ed to every applicant for citizen
ship papers. The name and addres
Of each such applicant or candi
date will be sent by the Bureau t.
the school superintendent neares
him. The candidate will be in

OYSTERS AND REED
BIRDS PLENTIFUL
Local Sportsnen Investigate
The Law

It's famous nndl leCer, uSneFS III
today the oyster season Of 1876.
Those who have been to the bed
in nearby waters during the past
week report conditions satisfac-
tory except that the heavy rains
promise to have robbed the BIZ
valves of the peculiar salty flavor
which makes them especially pal
atable.
1t is reported that despite the
vigilance of the watch boat which
patrols the beds, that oyster pir-
ates have ben busy and have
created considerable havoc when
plying their tongs under cover of
darkness. There will be no lack,
however, OF a plentiful supply OF
the shellfsh which will increase
their delicious flavor steadily
with the winters coming.
Reed Birds Plentiful
Plump reed birds, it is said will
be plentiful although it is doubt
full whether local gunners may an
ticipate large bags, The open
season in Delaware for both reed
and rail birds will be from Sep
tember l to November l, but
these birds in recent years have
apparently been far more scarce
each season and it is lucky
reedy which escapes when Penn
sylvania, Delaware and Maryland
marksmen open fire at dawn next
Wednesday.
Quail are protected until Nov
ember Is when the season is open
until December 81. The bob-whlte
partridges are said to be unusual
ly plentiful as gunners were
given but little opportunity last
season when a ban was placed
upon using dogs because of the
hoof and mouth disease in the
State. Local gunners are jubilant
this season and have been busy
preparing veteran pointers and
settlers for field work and oiling
up shotguns.
