at the beginning Of the next scholastic
year. There is also contemplated in
various cities q plan whereby the sum
mer classes, which have hitherto run
from July to August 81. may open
their doors on May /, and extend the
period Of instruction to September 80.
Great results have already been &C.
complished, and greater are expected.
The bureau Of naturalization since the
first Of last October has sent the
names Of more than 165. 900 candidates
for citizenship and their wives to the
public school authorities Of the coun-
try. It has also sent personal letters
to all OF these to induce them to enter
the public schools. 1t has prepared an
Outline Course In Citizenship" thou
sands Of copies Of which have been dis
tributed to the public school teachers.
1t has also prepared syllabus of the
naturalization law, which it has sent
out with copies Of preliminary natur-
alization forms to aid teachers in the
instruction Of candidates for citizen
ship.
! The cooperation of the public
schools with the national government
has come to stay, and the bureau of
| naturalization believes that this move
ment will go far toward solving the
problem of the loyalty of every sixth
resident of the country, there being
nearly 100000 foreign-born residents
in the United States. of whom an
proximately 100000 are citizens.

Keeping Melting Pot Boiling.

In approximately $50 cities and
towns located in As states Of the Union
tho public school authorities, in CO.
operation with the bureau Of naturali-
zation Of the U. S. Department Of La
Dor, have established evening schools
for the instruction of their foreign
born population. Several municipal
ties. with a keen realization of the
educational deficiencies Of the aliens,
and approaching the advantages to be
derived through their knowledge of
English. have extended the period of
instruction to the end of the present
scholastic year. In other cities the
school authorities have signif1ed their
intention of maintaining the public
schools as long as there is any evidence
Of need on the part Of the adult alien
population.
Unfortunately, according to reports
received by the bureau Of naturaliza-
ton. the public school authorities Of

campaign for citizenship preparedness.
have discontinued, or are about to dis
continue, their classes for alien in
stFuCt1on. Various causes are as
signed. but the main difficulty appears
to be a lack Of funds for the COM
psnsation Of teachers. In order to
combat this condition. patriotic public
school teachers and representatives of
the principal organizations in many
plooes have volunteered their services
to continue this splendid work until
such time as proper appropriations
msy be made for the purpose.

A National Park in Maine.

ConRressman Guernsey Of the Fourth
district Of Maine, is persisting in his
advocacy Of a Katahdin National PARK
with characteristic assiduity ana
Maintaining. He Is confident Of re-
sultinR great national good which ne
has foreseen. He introduced the meas
ure in the last Congress and has REIN
troduced it in the present session; and
he has presented in the National House
a comprehensive statement that should
arouse more than a mild interest In all
who heard or read.
And has not the Maine Congressman
the right of it? While the government
10 holding for us and for posterity
some Of the most remarkable natural
beauty spots Of the West, why should
it not consider the magnificence OF
tract nearer the center of population:
Should not the government, while
turning millions of dollars into the
protection and preservation of the
natural wonders of Yosemite and the
Yellowstone. devote something to pre-
serve in the East a natural tract
and its denizens for the enjoyment OF
generations to follow us?
Touching the proposed Mount
Katahdin Reserve, Mr.. Guernsey told
the House it was proposed to protect
the stream flow Of two Of Names
greatest rivers-the Kennebec and Pc
uobscot, and in turn maintain great
water powers, developed and undevel-
oped, which, II fully harnessed would
turn all the machinery Of all the New
England states" He proposed that
out Of the forest reserve acquired by
the federal government there be
created q Mount Katahdin National
park as within this region there arises
Names greatest and most majestic
mountain, standing by itself in Won
derfully wild country, presenting the
most striking scenic features Of the
East, the great Maine forest stretch
ing away on every side as far as the
eye can see, broken only by number
less enchanting lakes which feed swift
moving streams"
And again he said:
1.-THE Mount Katahdin region as a
national park would provide retreat
for the wild life Of the eastern section
Of our country, and would insure a
place Of safety where animal and bird
life would propagate their species
under natural conditions and insure
the perpetuation Of such life not only
within the park but to the entire east
ern country.
"As a national park it would not
only benefit wild life in securing to it
a place Of freedom from the hunters
gun but mankind as we'll. Thousands
Of our eastern citizens would like to
go into the Maine woods and enjoy
for a season out Of door and camp
life but for the fea- Of the hunters
gun which seems to point with unerr-
ing aim when a human being is mis-
taken for game"
Here Is a job worthy the best talent
and energies Of the New England
boards Of trade and the Boom Some
thing organizations. Let them join
Congressman Guernsey and other men
from Maine. in securing the attention
and interest Of Congress in the project
