SCHOOLS FOR ALLIES
STRONGLY ADVOCATED


thy Associated Press.b
WASHINGTON, August 21,-Great1
ly increased school facilities are to
be provided this fall for the instruc-
ton of foreign born residents of the
United States and especially for alien
candidates for citizenship. During
the last scholastic year the public
school authorities of approximately
$50 cities ana towns in A states of
the Union were cooperating with the
Bureau of Naturalization of the U. s.
Department of Labor in this branch
of its educational activity. According
to information thus far received by
the bureau, nearly 100 others have
signified their intention of joining in
the movement and all indications
now point to most gratifying record
for the 1867 school year,
1t is the desire of the Bureau of
Naturalization that public school
night classes be installed whenever
the need exists for the education and
REORGANIZATION of foreigners. This
field of operation of the public
schools is not limited to those who
have applied for naturalization. 1t is
intended to include all foreign born
residents whose instruction in Eng
iish and civics would, beyond ques-
ton, result not only in great personal
benefit to themselves, but would be
of signal advantage to the city in
which they reside and, logically to
the nation as well.
That the cost of the establishment
and maintenance of such schools is
relatively small as compared with the
great good accomplished is convinc.
ingly shown by reports received from
the public school authorities who co
operated with the Bureau of Naturali
cation last year. With this in view
the bureau is urging the superintend
ents of schools all over the country
to insert in their municipal budgets
for next year an item providing funds

Last August two different
inspectors picked up float" of
beautiful blue stain in the
I Northwestern part of the Tres
germara, mountains. II was
first assumed to be copper but
was strangely blue. The assay
revealed no copper and yet a
strange presentiment haunted
the men that this was somehow
,f value after all. Again a wan
derer picked up other float"
which found its way to FL Paso,
where a mineralogist, l.. II.
Davis at once classified it and
announced its value and general
posture as the prospector outlin-
ed it. No one had as yet looked
over the ground and the extent
or nature of the deposition was
not known. Following the pub
licity given it, the first prospec-
tors hurried to the scene of their
fndings and located seventeen
claims.
A careful observation of the
locality showed an astonishing
area that carried the blue color
which was pronounced to be
