THE IMMIGRANT PROBLEM
IN THE COLLEGES

Social work among immigrants is as
suming special importance as a col
lege subject, according to the bureau
OF education of the department of tht
interior. Fourteen institutions are now
Offering specia! courses which trea
the subject of immigration, though
few of these have as yet given mucf
attention to the practical problem oi
what to do with the immigrant as q
man and a citizen. SiXty-nine institu
tions treat the subject incidentally il
connection with courses in economies
history and sociology.
In order to help IN the present ur
gent demand for Americanization ser
vice for immigrants, the bureau OF
education has had prepared syllabus
entitled professional Course for Ser
vice Among Immigrants" Some of the
topics treated are as follows: The In
coming Tide and Its Distribution; Leg
islation and Restriction; Employment;
Standards of Living; Education; and
Ideals and Methods in Americanization
Work.
In view of the interest shown by
colleges in the subject of immigrant
education, the commissioner of edu
cation has offered to give assistance
and advice with respect to courses OF
study and methods to any colleges or
universities planning to introduce
courses in training for leadership in
Americanization service. The division
of immigrant education in the bureau
has centered its attention upon the
problems connected with the educa
ton of immigrants and the inculcation
of American civic ideals DR.. F. Z. Far.
rington of this division declares:
american colleges and universities
are more and more awakening to the
necessity of touching modern life on
its dynamic side; of inspiring and ini-
tiatng social progress, and of training
leaders in the work of civic uplift,
Here is a field which opens up almost
limitless possibilities in the way of
social service. One needs, however,
a peculiar sympathy for and a specific
knowledge of the foreigner, apprecia-
tion of his limitations and his possibili-
ties, as well as a realization of what
he can contribute to our economic, eth
ical, and spiritual progress when prop
erly assimilated, and what grave dan
gers he can also bring if we fail to i'm
bue him with our national ideals. The
fields are already ripe unto the har-
vest, but trained and competent la
borers are few. Letters have been re-
ceived at the bureau of education la
menting the fact that evening-school
classes for foreigners have been given
up on account of the lack of trained
principals and teachers to handle this
problem.
Upon our colleges and universities,
therefore, devolves the responsibility
of preparing these workers, of giving
them breadth of vision, and catholici-
ty of purpose, in short of training them
for their tasks"

Miss Gina Krog Is dead. In 1884
she wrote a. newspaper article about
woman's rights, and since that time
she was one of the leading women of
the country. She was also the first
woman to occupy a seat in the stor-
thing. The expenses of her funeral
were paid by the state. Many of the
foremost men of the country were
present at the funeral. Rev. Eugene
Hanson made the funeral sermon,
saying In part: Being among those
who are to place the first memorial
wreaths on the bier, wish to recall
the significance of the work Of Gina
Krog. There was a combat around the
ideas that she wished to advance,
which is always the case when life
has its sacred moments Of birth. The
idea that sustained her. the power
that carried her to the goal, was the
sense of the right of the capacities
and forces of life to have place in
the great work of the commonweal
The struggle for this inviolable right
of life itself was the sacred fire which
made out of her the idealist which
she was. The emancipation which
she assisted in creating for woman
herself and for society has given to
this gift of priceless boon of spir-
itual power. We bow in reverence to
her who sacrificed her life for the
liberation of the many. But human
being is always greater than what he
or she does. And what Gina Krog
herself was, that is the great thing
which towers all-eclipsing when re-
call her to memory. 1t is the sacred
and inspiring remembrance which she
has bequeathed to u.s."

Of freights carried by Norway's ships
In foreign trade was about $5S, 563, 900,
while the total value of all crops was
s60,000,O00. The freights for 1915
amount to at least four times as much
as those of normal times. and the pro-
ceeds of the fisheries probably to more
than twice as much as for 1913. Pro-
English sentiment in Norway is rap
idly waning, because Of the difficulties
placed In the way of obtaining goods
from other countries, especially from
the United States. But It is not Eng
land alone that is imposing these
bonds, for Germany seems to be doing
what she can. having, for instance, re-
peatedly captured neutral ships on
their way from one Of the Scandina-
Wan countries to another. And the
losses suffered by this country from
submarine warfare are heavy. With
in little more than q week three
Norwegian ships--the Silus, the Ian
