they were to succeed they must have some knowledge along this line. There were two classes in this subject and 1t is worth while for us to note the cx- cellent attendance of one of these classes, only one man leaving.
 The class in cooking was also made up of factory girls. The work in this class was taken up in a con- raratively simple and practical way. Some of the things the girls learned to cook and serve were cream soups, beef loaf, potato chips, salmon cro- quettcs, French fried potatoes, bis quits, mullins, different kinds of cake. bread, cookies, doughnuts, pies, salads, ice cream and many other ap- petizing dishes. They were also given instructions for planning and serving refreshments for parties and receptions. The girls were very much interested in the work and many asked for extra recipes to try at home.
 It has always been considered de- sirab1e that foreigners should come to our land to make it their home. But it is plain that if they are to be valuable member of our community they must acquire full sympathy with our American ideas and must become Americans themselves not merely ill dress and language. but in spirit and principles New Britain with it's foreign population saw the need of instructing those who como to our city in the ideals of American citi- zenship and in its evening school opened a class known as the "Citi- zenship Class" where aliens seeking citizenship acquire some knowledge of the form and principles of our government Through the instruc- ton given in this class, forty men declared their intentions before the United States District Court in Hart ford to sever allegiance with their native countries and become citizens of the United States. These men took out their first naturalization pa pers There were also sixteen who took out their final papers. The Dis trict Court in Hartford held a spe- cial evening session for this pur- pose.
 We who have attended the even ing school this year, realize perhaps more than those who haze not avail ed themselves of the opportunity just how much New Britain is ann ing to do in aiding the foreigners and the ambitious boys and GlriS Who find it necessary to leave School at an early age to get an eoucaIoh.
 Presentation of Diplomas.
 Judge Bernard F. Gaffney, on be- half of the school board, presented dinIonas to the members of the class. In q brief address, Judge Gaffnev congratulated the members on their unique exercises and on 1 their desire to increase their know ledge. He dwelt on the opportunities 1 which education brings and caution 1 cd them not to get into 8 rut but | apply themselves diligently to their 1 allotted tasks.

 Preparedness.
 Miss Sarah Bella Hanin rendered Santa Lucia in a pleasing voice. The vital question of the hour "Prepa ced- ness," was then discussed by Louis An drew Otfnowski, who spoke as fol- lows:
 My Dear Friends:
 You probably have heard or read that, not long ago President Wilson made a tour into the Western States for the purpose of making speeches; on his Preparedness plan.
 The subject Preparedness has been discussed by many prominent persons They have given their opinion and expressed their views how it should he carried out. I also, had the priv llcge of taking Preparedness as my subject for tonight. By taking the daily papers I have gathered some facts concerning it.
 What do we mean by Preparedness |? Having an efficient and well trained army and navy, large enough to de-

fend our country in case of war from l tack by foreign nations
 Our present army and navy is very small compared with the Europeah
 nations. So we must plan how to in crease it, that it may resist my at- tao by foreign nations.
 There are two sides to the uues- ton of Preparedness. There is not l merely the military side but, there is the industrial side as well. And the ideal which l have in mind is this: We ought to have in this country q great system of Industrial and Vo2a- tional education. under federal guid- ance, federal and, in which a large percentage of the youth of this coun-
 try will be given training in the skill
 ful use and application of the Drinci-
 pleS of science, manoeVures, and bus
 mess
 It will be perfectly desirable to add
 to that and combine with it
 such a training in mechanism, use
 and care of arms and camp sanita
 tion.
 There is an element in these simple
 manoevures and the study of organi-
 zation that will make these same men
 industrially efficient and individually
 servicea ble for national defense.
 The point about such a system will
 be that it's emphasis will be in the
 industrial and civil life; the real aim
 and purpose of this will be to awaken
 us to our real strength as a nation; not as fighters for the use of force will
 and should be kept in the background as the last resort. Our men will think
 first of their families and their daily nrIy Of Joi, fields of the country and last of all of their service to the nation as sol aiers and men at arms.
 l believe, that the people of this country should enforce upon their Representatives the necessity Of mak- ing ample preparations for, sustain ing the honor of our government, for the protection of our citizens for the creation and maintenance of an army
 and navy ample adequate for these purposes, and commensurate with the wealth and greatness of our people. | heartily commend the attitude of
 the present administration in its ef- forts to prepare our country for all
 emergencies so that the world will mo- tlce that we are not only prepared to protect ourselves but, to enforce the rights of our citizens on land and sea. Nevertheless, the first duty of our government is to it's own people to keep them out of war exccpt in de-
 fense of their rights as American cit- lzenS also the protection of the cOun- try's territory from invasion. believe the American people lCSirC peace above all things, but not peace at any price, not peace at the price of sacrificing or SuSpending the riE1ta of the American people; and hC- lieVe such peace can only be preserved when the world knows that we are amply prepared to protect ourselves at l any moment.

Epening School Graduates Rewarded F0y Year's Work America and Her Opportunities Keynote of Inspiring
 Gathering in the Central Cram
 School

The feature of the graduation eXer- cises of the New Britain Evening Schools, which were held in the audi torium of the Central Grammar school last evening, was the tableaux, shown to demonstrate d paper on "Opportun- ities of the Foreigner in the Public Evening school of New Britain" The paper was read by Miss Julia Marian Poinoski and the living pictures were six other members of the class. Five new courses were introduced into the curriculum this year and as Miss Poin- oski told of the benefits derived, the picture made her statement more realistic. On the whole, the exercises were the most unique ever held at q school commencement.
 The program was given under the most unique direction of Principal William C. French and Miss Elizabeth Cahill and was thoroughly enjoyed Dy the large crowd present.
 Music was rendered by the Prevoca- tional School Orchestra, under the leadership of Professor George F. Mathews. As the class marched into the auditorium the orchestra played "Vallonia." Walter Morris. the class president, then delivered the address of welcome. which follows.

We publish elsewhere an address
issued to the Louisiana Democrats
by the Hon. L. f. Thomas, Speaker
Of the House of Representatives and
/, Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee.
Mr.. Thomas is an able writer and
forceful speaker. and his address is
filed with genuine Democratic doc
trine; it is hard to understand how
an honest man, after reading his
address can cast his vote for Mr..
Parker, If he participated in the
Democratic primary. We hope that
the Tensas voters will read it care
fully and be guided by his unan-
swerable arguments.
So important do we consider this
message to the Democratic voters Of
Louisiana, that the Gazette is this
week printing an additional number
OF copies, that we may be enabled
to put a copy in the hands OF every
voter in Tensas parish.

A fool there was and he made his prayer
Even as you and III
To rag and bone and hank OF hair
1--WE called her the woman who did not care
But the fool he called her his lady fair
Even as you and III
Oh, the years we waste and the tears
we waste
And the work of our head and hand,
Belong to the woman who did not know
land now we know she never could knowl
And did not understand,
The fool was stripped to his foolish skin
tEven as you and III
Which she might have seen when she threw
him aside
but 1t isn't on record the lady tried)
Some of him lived, but the most of him died
Even as you and IL
And 1t isn't the shame and II isn't the blame
That stings like q white-hot brand
It's coming to know that she never
knew why

And she never could understand.

our debt Is being paid of, gradually our
insane are receiving good treatment; the
old soldier is receiving the best care pos
sible commensurate with our ability, and
all of our other institutions are showing
constant improvement.
DEMOCRATIC DUTY.
The cry of "Doscn with the Bosses"
is silly in this campaign Colonel
Pleasant dose not QUE has nomination
to the Nes0 Orleans organization. He
was nominated By the country Demo
crots, which logically Jotto,ced the
defeat ofthe constitutional convention,
which Mr.. Parker also espoused last
august. The New Orleans organization
Loyalty accepts the choice Of the country
voters as they had previously agreed to do.
Colonel Pleasant wiU not .fotiop the
Leadership of any man or any set Of
men, but wiU administer the affairs
of Louisiana in the interest of the
whOte people to whons he OUes his
election. The demdgogic appeal Ciu
fall on deaf ears. because in Mr..
Parker's o,on hyphendted convention
there mere some of the biggest parish
bosses I eUer sdW. can call names if
necessary. People have some sense in
this country and will not he CHILLED by
such clap-trap methods that in the pres
ent instance of Colonel Pleasant rest on
no foundation other than Mr.. Parker's
own fertile and vivid imagination. EUery
V0tcr knoWs ia the merit place that the
coming general assembly sOiH be 30
per cent Democratic, hence hoW fool
ish it spouid be to eject Mr.. Parker,
a BuH Moose Republican. as chief
executive. IT scomtd be a most miser-
able condition of affairs for the
State and all her institutions. Perish
the thought.
The time nOU comes When erery
loyal Democrat must put on has armOr
for the fray and defeat this hydra
headed political combination that
would ride into office by an appeal to
passion, prejudice, denuncidtion and
abuse. Let as "fau an" IN solid
phalanr behind our standard bearer
and march on to a glorious rictory.
He may not be as experienced an
dealing in cotton as his opponent,
but IN loyalty and derotion to this
State, IN kno,cledgc of her needs and
requirements, IN fidelity to public
duty and in the confidence and esteem
of the people he as ecery schit has
equal If not has superior. Let as
not be laggards but ercry man get to
his post 50 that at the end each can
say 81 haze done my duty'' and
there wiu be glory enough for all.
Democrats of Louisiana, 1t IS up
to you! Don't forget to 90 to the polls
on Tuesday, April 18Th and stamp
the rooster.
