Carney's Point and other factories, the
number of illiterate foreign born in viii
mington approximates $500 to 1000
persons, and the number who can not
speak English approximates 5000. OF
this number there would be little diff
Guilty in securing an enrolment of from
800 TO 1000 for these schools. How te
reach the women and the older men is
a problem that the Americanization
Committee will solve as soon as the city
of Wilmington furnishes the money and
facilities Tor handling the situation. In
Detroit and other cities, the cooperation
of the manufacturers was secured. These
offered bonuses or increase Of wages 20
those who learned English, or became
naturalized Others bluntly told their
employees that they would be discharged
unless ,hey went 80 the schools and
learned English. Some States arc con-
templating legislation 10 make the
study OF English compulsory.
Having shown the clear public duty
TO educate this considerable element Of
our population as a means of self pro
lection to our democratic institutions,
from the standpoint Of the public well
fare, it may be added that we should
so educate them because Of their in
creased economic value to the commun-
ity by reason of increased intelligence,
efficiency and awakened ambition.
"The local Americanization Commit
tee believes that it is neither just, wise
nor prudent to attempt to conduct these
schools as a private charity, because
the duty is public one, sufficient
funds to- properly conduct these
schools will not be Forthcoming year
after year. and other pure charities are
thereby deprived possibly Of merited
and needed contributions.
"m my judgment, therefore, it is
clearly within the province OF the Board
Of Education 20 conduct these schools.
and il is also the province of that body
or City Council, or both, to provide the
financial means for conducting the

"The committee undertook no exten-

sively that tho pupils had learned 20

"At the request OF a pronounced pub

quests by a committee of the Chamber
of Commerce and the local Americaniza

placed the sum of $500 in its annual
estimate to Council for the current fiscal

Commerce, at their meeting held on Oc-

LARGER POSTAL SAVINGS
DEPOSITS NOW ACCEPTED

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the pOstOftice,
owing TO an important amendment
to the postal savings act just ap-
proved by Pres't Wilson. One thous-
and dollars may now be paid in by
depOsitOrs, while formerly $500 was
the limit which any individual could
have TO his credit
This enlargement Of postal savings
facilities will be very gratifying 10
thousands of depOsitors who have
already reached the old $500 limit
and are anxious to entrust more Of
their savings to Uncle Sam. An
other feature of the amendment is
the abolishing of the limit that could
be accepted from a depOsitor month
ly Under the old law only 500
could be deposited in a calendar
month.

CONSTANT NAGGING IN
SHOPS CAUSED ATTACK
Factories Permit Teasing and
Knife Attack is Direct
Result.

Mishawaka's factories are a poor
place 10 work If persons have any
Feculiarities Of dress, looks or speech
according TO information which has
been going around town since the
stabbing ARRAY Monday an which
Carl BlackmOre was injured.
This buIlyragging and teasing
which has been going on Is believed
20 be responsible for the attack on
Biackmore by the Italian, Despaci,
who, since purchasing the sombrero
in Chicago a week or two ago, has
been constantly tOrmented both IN
and out OF the factory.
Despaci has only been in this
country about five years, and his
parents are living in Pennsylvania
That Tony Despaci. the Italian
who stabbed Carl BlackmOre Mon
day, did not want TO kill the man,
but merely teach him a lesson 70
keep his mouth shut after persons
had warned him, was learned from
a statement made by the man to
police officials Tuesday.
The Italian says that his fellow
workers called him "101 Ranch
because Of the broad -brimmed Mex
lean sombrero which he wore 10
work. He warned them at various
times 10 quit guying him. and at last
mis- patience broke and he made the
attack on BlackmOre. He claims
that Blackmore struck him before
he did the stabbing and that the
blow Infatuated him and caused the
attack.
Despaci pleaded not guilty when
a. aligned before Judge Feig Mon
day morning on a charge Of assault
and battery with intent, and the case
was continued until Friday morn
ing. bond being fixed at $4,000.
Late Tuesday afternoon Despaci
was taken to the county jail at South
Bend where ne viii be held until
Friday morning. He will probably
make arrangements for attorneys
from that place.
IL was rumOred around town
Tuesday that Italian residents were
much wrought up over the case,
knots of them being seen in earnest
conversation in various places Mon
dav and Tuesday. 1t is believed that
they will stand by their eountryman
and help him Sight his case.
