AMERICANIZATION IN CALL
 FORNIA.

Below is a copy of letter sent out by State Superintendent Edward Hyatt to the school superintendents of California, under date of May 5, 1916 The California State Educa- tion Department is thus the second to attack the problem of the education of the foreign born from the State point of view.
 Please let me call your particular attention to a phase of public educa- ton that has not engaged much of our attention heretofore, but that is surely going to demand it in the near future, that is, the education and the Americanzation of the adult for eigner.
 Among thoughtful people and among law makers is growing up the conviction that the presence of the it. literate foreigner is danger and menace to us and to our institutions. Under present conditions he may be
 
 knowing nothing of our language, open to none of the influences that tend to good citizenship. He can be guided and moved by the intriguer and the boss of his own nationality, but can not be touched by Uncle Sam. Thus, in time of stress or danger, he may become dangerous and threaten ing in the extreme to the very life of the republic
 It is coming aboot that the burden of teaching and Americanizing the foreigner is to be laid upon the edu catonal forces of the commonwealth. That means us.
 The Commission of Immigration and Housing has been created. This body can investigate and plan and recommend-bu it is the school peo- pie who must teach. There are 75'- GOO illiterates reported Tn California. There are. over half a million foreign born residents. These classes are be- coming so large, as compared with our school population, that the State Is taking cognizance of the matter and is moving toward assuming res possibility.
 At present, the most definite way to reach our adult foreigners is through the night schools. The ma chinery for organizing night schools IS at hand in every school district. Any school may establish night school by action of it's own board of trustees. It must provide for hous- ing and maintaining the night school itself, as it will get no additional pub lic money until its additional attend ance gives it additional apportion- ment during the following year. Free textbooks are furnished by the State, however.
 The object of this letter is two fold; first, to call your attention to the shadow of coming events; and, second, to warn you that those schools proposing to meet the situa- tion by opening night schools must needs add to their September budg- cts, to their special taxes, the money necessary for opening the schools and maintaining them during the first year.
 If this office can give you any fur ther information or assistance, please

Health Benefit Of Yawning.

Yawning Is said to have an exceed
ingly healthful function besides hav-
ing a salutary effect in complaints or
the pharynx and the eustachian tubes.
According to investigations yawning
is the most natural form of respira-
tory exercise, bringing into action all
the respiratory muscles OF the neck
and chest. II is recommended that
every person should have good yawn
with the stretching OF the limbs morn
ing and evening for the purpose or
ventilating the lungs and tonifying the
respiratory muscles.
An eminent authority asserts that
this form OF gymnastics has a remark
able effect in relieving throat and ear
troubles. and says that patients suf-
fering from disorders OF the throat
have derived great benefit from 1t. He
says he makes his patients yawn, by
suggestion or imitation, or by series
OF deep breaths with the lips partly
closed
The yawning Is repeated six or sew
en- times. and should be followed by
swallowing. BY this process the air
and mucus in the eustachian tubes are
aspirated.

II was a week later when Kate
flashed in upon Natalie at the piano
In feverish state Of indignation and
excitement.

ed; what do you think? l wrote the
lawyers OF uncle's estate, demanding

an open letter in her hand. "All he
has left you is that old clap-trap OF a
violin he dotted over so.'
"Oh, Kate! Did he. indeed?' cried
Natalie with sparkling eyes. why,
his priced Carero is priceless! II was
his most precious treasure. To think
that he would leave II to mel"
Kate flounced off, ridiculing the ex-
travagant delight OF her sister over
"a piece Of antiquated rubbish" Ma
talie fondly thought OF the old mans
delight in his favored instrument.
Often he had played to her, and he
had even allowed her to handle the
old instrument, but tenderly, as though
II were an infant in arms. There was
a large intrinsic value to the instru-
ment on account of It's maker, age
and power Of melodious expression.
Natalie, however, never thought OF
selling II, especially when the violin
duly arrived with note from the
lawyers of the estate, saying that Mr..
Warren had expressed the hope the
cherished instrument would never 60

There ensued a period OF rare de-

sound OF the violin made Kate angry

made OF shiny materials. Braids and

High buttons. which may be made
of the fabric OF the suit combined
with satin like that in the collar, are
set down the front, and there are three

satin, with little barrel-shaped orna-
ments at the ends, fall from each side
of the collar and make a pretty finish
at the neck.

collars in a diversity of styles. Those
that open at the front for comfort and
are high at the back for style are
naturally destined to be popular.

So Easy to Criticise

1t is easy to criticise ones
neighbor who has gone wrong in
morals, or made a failure in
business, says an exchange, and
so hard to give credit for the
effect of the influences impelling
him to disaster, over which h e
has no control, that our criticism

BILE. Men often say how good
they would have been, or what
they would have accomplished
had they been in the other mans
place.
They do not stop to ask why
the fellow that was in the other
shoes did not succeed. If they
did they would often find the
man who failed, was entitled to
great credit for standing up so
bravely under forces and burdens
that might easily have over
thrown his accusers.
Sometimes the man who fails
is a greater hero than another
who wins.
If you can't find anything good
to say about your neighbor, then
for goodness sake keep quiet. -

A Record at Saving

the Saturday Evening Post to the
effect that he has been working
nine years at an average of $780,
so per month on a farm where
his board and keep are thrown in,
that he has So, 74O saved and in
the bank, an endowment policy
of $4,000 due in six years. He
figures that when he gets this,
with the interest accommodating
on his savings up to that time
and the money he will earn dur
ing the next six years, he will
have $4,000. He adds: I'm be
