following letter.
Bv Robert Z. Lewis.

+ YOUNGSTOWN. O., Jan. 19.-As |
stood on the steel bridge extending
from the East Youngstown ruins to
the great plant of the Sheet and
Tube Company. it looked as though
the San Francisco earthquake and
fire had been transferred to the Ma
honing valley.
There are larger question: now
than how the riot started. Tho, are
large problems involved in the great
un-American, unassimilated masses
resident among US everywhere.
As one mingle~ with the dense un-
naturaHzed population Of Ioungs-
town, the question of their American
ization is ever present Superinten-
dent CLANCY of the public schools told
me that there are no night schools
to counteract adult illiteracy in
Youngstown. and that the board of
education would not appropriate a
dollar for the purpose.
This is typical Of the situation in
other mill towns.
1t may be ~ai that the remedy is
an enlightened public conscience.
School boards ana tax commissioners
must not do their least and, even
though they do not do their most, they
must do something.
Cleveland and Youngstown have the
same limitation of taxation, but the
ely schools of Cleveland enroll 10,-
600 in their night classes. Fred Howe,
inspector at Ellis Island,
pronounces the Cleveland system
UNIQUE and wants other cities to do
the same, or better.
\ broader question arises as we
face the stolid racial and language
communities in Youngstown. How
would the situation be changed if there
was general compulsory study of the
American language during the first
year Of the aliens residence here?
Should the man who will not take
any steps toward Americanization be
deported?
Is our country to have no voice in
this matter?
Are boards of education to consider

IT entirely optional
Another question arises. Should
the courts be required, in conjunction
with school boards, to organize pro-
cesses of naturalization Courts are
open during business hours, but the
industrial worker. i'll order to appear
at the naturalization court, must go
with two witnesses, and they all must
lose their ways wage.
If is evident that there must be a
national propaganda for naturaliza-
tion. Most municipalities plead pow
erty. Many fear the corruption OF
municipal government, but are they
not wrong?
Next comes the question Of pre-
venting the constant migration OF
workers from mill to mill and city
to city. A state investigator told me
tha. many of the beds in which the
Sheet and Tube workers sleep are
never cold As shift after shift
passes to the mills, the beds are re-
occupied by tired workers-and yet
those who are there today may not
be the ones who are there tomorrow
In the industrial communities these
new residents of America do not
know how 10 mingle with Americans
They band together, or each lives a
life to himself.
There may be different ways to
approach this problem. In partlcu-
lar, there is the Young Mems Chris
tan Association, with its record OF
remarkable accomplishments in the
face of extraordinary difficulties in
the midst of the European catacly5m
and in the Panama zone.
We raise the question whether the
association has the capacity and the
vision to open American clubs for
educational purposes in the congested
districts of the manufacturing cities,
From them could be organized vast
bit simple educational processes in
industrial plants.
