ANERICANIZINC
THE NEW Citizen
W. F. Kurtz Tells Interested
Public Night Schools Are
Necessary in Work
HEAR ADDRESS

At joint service in st. Andrews
Episcopal Church last night, under the
auspices Of the Social Service Commits
sion, William +. Kurtz spoke ON
"Americanizing the Foreigner" All the
Episcopal churches omitted their even
ing services so that their members might
attend the joint service.
Seated in the ehancel with the Rev.
r. w. Trapncll, rector of the church,
during the services. was the Rev. VIII
liam H. Laird, rector Of Christ and I'm
manuel Episcopal churches.
Ia his address. Mr.. Kurtz dwelt prin-
cipally on the effort which has been put
forth by the Board of Education toward
having four night schools for foreigners
established in this city. The speaker
pointed out that about four years ago
he Lad a vision or an awakening as TO
the needs of the foreigner and has since
that time been actively interested in
their welfare. He said the movement
for establishing schools for foreigners in
this city was inaugurated by the Rev.
d. NJ. Cleland and it has since been
taken up Icy others. ,e explained that
four night schools for foreigners were
opened ON January 3 and that the total
enrolment is 800. He gave statistics in
regard to the number of foreigners in
this country The census of 1910 show
ed that there are thirteen and a half
million foreigners here. They probably
number from one to six of the popula
tiou. The 81 eaker predicted that with
the ending Of the war this number will
be greatly increased. The Jews he eN-
planned, probably will lead in the tide
of immigration. He pointed out that
the task of amalgan alton will be tre-
mendous one as the majority of the inn
MIGRANTS can neither read nor write.
Tho greatest factor in Americana
inc the FOREIGNER is the public school
and without the public school our task
is hopeless. Mr.. Kurtz said. The
speaker paid high tribute to Super
tntendent OF Schools Clifford J. Scott
He said Professor Scott is a man who
accomnlishes things without antagon-
izing the people with whom he comes
ll tOllhtis Ait ulaNnlnNA1 VI NhN
schools here is all right. but funds
sufficient for the work have not been
produced. he said The night schools
are omen three nights each week at
Nos. I. 4. 10 and II. and excellent
teachers have been employed and the
work thus far. has been successful,
carried on.
The speaker could not suggest az
adequate method by which these for
eigners can be reached through th'
church. since they represent all creeds
which was made in Wilmington by
the United States Government.
The Offering OF the evening was
given to assist in continuing the foul
schools already in operation.

OOOOO COOOO 900 o ) THE YUMA DESERT O
 , By Kathryn Haughtelin 0 OOOOO COOOOO co o

The rain fell upon the desert,
 And the sands cried out in glee; The wind whispered to the mountains "Wait-a miracle to see" The sun shone forth in splendor
 On the rain-kissed desert spot, That long had ceased to wonder.
 Because by a God forgot Then over the landscape
 That lay so calm, serene, Came carpet of wond roUs beauty A carpet of verdant green. And now if you cross the desert,
 With it's skies of eternal blue, Behold the transformation
 That came with heavenly dew lis a garden of riotoU5 color;
 The sands are hid with the aloom 0f a million brilliant flowers
 That fill the air witl perfume. Tor every plant has Blossom,
 And every bloom is a gem Of perfect waxen beauty
 Upon a graceful stem. Of every hue of the rairhuW.
 They blend, they nod, they cling; They make of this ocean of color
 A harmony of spring. Far to the distant village
 The scented breezes blow. And into the open windows
 Of the valley homes below The wind is hushed with wonder,
 So changed is the barren sand lis miracle of the desert
 Wrought by a master hand. Once again desolation
 May claim it's own as of yore; But the tale of the desert garden
 Will be told forevermore.
