ALUMNI OF OLD SOUTH SCHOOL
 WILL CONVENE
Chance Meeting of Pair of Graduates Leads to Socie-
 ty 600 Strong.

Through the chance meeting of William w. Jones of 316 Colorado avenue, with several old -schoolmates of the South school, Hartford, whom he had not seen since 1879, there has arisen a society of more than 500 members, some of whom are found to have attended the same school as early as 1897.
 This remarkable gathering of schoolmates, none of whom attended later than the 7O's will meet in New Haven on Friday, June 23, for the seventh reunion and it is expected that MT. Jones, now first vice-presi- dent of the organization known as ''The South School Gang" may be elected president.
 An effort on foot to eliminate the gang from the name and to form it into a society will probably pre- vail. The original name came about through the chance meeting in New Haven in 1908 when Jones and a few old schoolmates of the South school were talking over the days of 1872. One said, Why not have some sort of a reunion and get the old gang to- gether?'' This phrase hung through six other reunions.
 The gatherings extended until near ly 600 former pupils have been locat- ed. Among those who probably will attend this year will be B. Warren Waters of Brooklyn, N. Y, a student in 1897, Mrs. Mary Demming Wat rous of Middletown, a pupil in 1841, and Henryq J. Eaton, of Hartford, 1840.
 The present officers of the associa- ton are: Presidente Theodore Herzer. liam w. Jones, Bridgeport; second vice-president. Mrs. A. W. DeBarthe. Wethersfield; secretary treasurer, John M. Knox, Glastonbury

Fourth, and finally, Mr.. Bush de-
clared, 1--WE must teach the i'm
migrant that naturalization is not
merely gaining the right to vote
as a means to an end; it is an end
in itself, whereby he attains a
new birth. He is a citizen"
Relative to the subject of the
immigrants voting, Mr.. Bush
quoted Lowell, who said, The
best way to teach a man to vote is
to let him practice. The ballot is
less dangerous in the hand than
a sense of injustice in the heart "
Mr.. Bush advocated night nat
uralization, declaring many for
eigners postpone taking out their
papers because they do not want
to miss work; reduce illiteracy,
he said, improve living condi-
tions, exercise close supervision
over individuals who come in
contact with the law, abandon
contempt for the alien, cease to
regard him as merely a being
with muscle, and educate him,
in part in vocational work. These
suggestions carried to a logical
conclusion will go far in the solu-
tion of our problem.
"But Americanization must in
clude not only our foreign citi-
zens; it must embrace all who
lack national consciousness. And
right here is the most difficult
feature. When we attempt to hold
up the ideal of a pure American
ism to our immigrant citizen, so
many shocking examples of I'M
American conduct confront us
that we are staggered. America
does not consist of groups. AS
Woodrow Wilson said in speech
d elivered on Americanization
Day last year, If man considers
himself representative of a group,
he has not yet become an Ameri-
cam"
Mr.. Bush referred to the great
class of children born of immi-
grant parents-those growing up
with confused idea of liberty
and license, and the Importance
of instructing these wisely and
we'll.
