Change in Immigrant Type.

a gradual change has come over the
immigrant type. In the earlier days
our immigrants came from the western
and northern parts of Europe. There
literacy was at a premium: in fact, at
a higher premium than in our own
country at the same time. But the
pendulum has swung, and now the bulk
of the immigrants are from eastern
and southern Europe, a place where
literacy is at low ebb, so to speak.
Schools throughout the country have
done valiant service in meeting this
problem; the schools of Washington
have done valiant service. but the
schools are organized primarily for
children. The schools have struck
tV Give: they can do no more. Now we
want the business men to come to the
front and cooperate with the schools.
1t should appeal to them even from the
dollars and cents side. 1t is dangerous
to allow nom English speaking work
men to handle high powered machines
in conjunction with English-speaking
workingmen. They cannot understand
English in time of emergency.
He told of the work which had been
done in other cities. particularly in
Detroit. He said the problem in Wash
ington was comparatively small. only
about 1850 English speaking resi-
dents being here.

Education of Immigrants.

Following addresses by Charles W.
Clagett, chairman of the committee on
schools. and DR.. f. E. Harrington of
the United States bureau of education
the chamber decided to take an active
part in the America first" campaign
now being conducted by the bureau
One of the first steps to be taken
will be to urge all employers of nom
English speaking labor in the District
of Columbia to induce their employees
to learn the English language. Other
assistance in the campaign will be
given from time to time as it proves
eXpedient or necessary.
I'VE have prided ourselves for many
years that America was assimilating
the foreigners who came to our Shores
said Dr. Harrington. I'VE have had
SNUG complacency about this for
years but lately we have begun to
wonder whether our melting pot has
ceased to boil. We have begun to
wonder if our much Wanted system
was working. A short time since the
census reports showed US that there
are 5000. 900 persons in the United
States who could not speak our Ian
guage. and that about fve-sixths of
this number We're adults. beyond reach
of the ordinary channels such as the

Advises Against Hasty Action.

Chaplin Brown, one Of the members Of
the chamber and president of the board
of trustees of the National Training
School for Girls, urged the members of
the chamber not to be hasty in condemn
ing the officials of the school.
The trustees OF the National Train
ing School for Boys are appointed by
the President of the United States,
upon recommendation OF the Attorney
General. as they are in the case OF the
institution with which 1 am connect

of that institution are more capable

given than any person mere tonight,

II am unwilling to believe excellent
men and women, such as have been
described by Mr. Brown, would for one
moment sanction such brutality as has
been described here tonight answer

Special to The Republican,

GLENDALE. Sept. 10.-Glendale Is settling back into feeling of security again, after the somewhat narrowing experience of having the town cover cd with three feet of water. Early this morning the water started to re- cede. and this afternoon. with the ex- ception of pools standing against the railroad track. there was no water in sight.
 It is the general opinion here. that all that saved the town from destruc- tion was. the cutting through under the Santa Fe tracks. The city of ficials have been wrangline with the railroad authorities for years in an endeavor to secure culverts under the tracks. The railroad has taken the position that 1t was there first, and the town could struggle along the best it could
 When it became apparent Saturday night that unles a hole was cut through under the tracks, that the town would go by the board, public spirited citizens got busy and the hole soon appeared. Every one ir the town. who could buy, beg or bor- row a shovel or pick got busy. and those who couldn't do that stooe around and gave advice.
 As soon as the water went down the Santa Fe sent out men, and ;p { short time, the tracks were in a! good shape as before. Trains started running at nine o'clock

out of the annual tax levy for road and bridge const fuction, and absorbs such a large part of the funds that too little money is left for grading the surfacing. Good bridges and cul-
 verts are permanent structures, and the deputy minister of highways of Ontario. Hon. w. A. Mclean, has ad- Vised the taxpayers of that province to pav for them by a bond issue where the total expenditure for the purpose is large. In such case he suggests compiling a complete list oi the bridges and culverts needed, pre- pairing plans and estimates for their construction and then financing the work SC that it's cost will be equitably distributed over period of years rather than he concentrated on the taxpayers of a few years. Where there are few of these structures and none Is expensive. the policy of paying for them out of the annual tax levy can not be friticized in his opinion for 1t does not interfere appreciably with satisfactory progress in grading, drainaEe s;urfacing and maintenance.

No matter how good the surface of T road may be, if the bridges are weak and the culverts poor. the nigh way is far from satisfactory. The annual record of bridge failures under threshing machines and other heavy loads makes a long list, and the cost of repairing the annual damage to poor culverts is a large sum.
