Mr., GOVATOS OPPOSED TO
RYPHENATED CITIZENSHIP

John Goyatos, who was a member
OF a delegation that urged commit
tee OF tho Legislature yesterday at
Dover TO appropriate $500 for the edu-
cation OF adult foreigners in Whining
ton, is opposed to a hypenatod citt-
zenship. In the delegation were Col
Onel George A. Elliott, William IT,
Kurtz, Or. Charles A. Wagner and
Harry J. Guthrie.
I'VE don't want Groek-Amoricans.
Italian Americans. Polish-Americans,
or any other form OF compounded
American said Mr.. Govatos. I'VE
want plain. well informed Americans,
and we feel that this committee has
the right idea for the training OF the
raw material so as to produce the
finished work
"Most States already have some
such system as is planned by the
local committee
MIR. Govatos pointed out the need
OF a real Americanizing OF former
aliens who have become citizens Of
this country as well as those who plan
to become citizens. While i'm many
cases. foreign born individuals find IL
advisable from a business or other
standpoint to assume citizenship. said
U
Mr. Govatos, they not infreQuently
become citizens in name only; merely
acquiring a knowledge most super
/ fetal of real Americanism. its aims
and ideals. They take their papers
and retire to a life among the people
of the same race, forgetting. or losing
! through disuso, the things with which
j chey "crammed' themselves at the
J time Of their examination for citizen
/ ship.
The plan OF tho AUGMENTATION
/ committee is TO overcome this by "a
system of night schools. Where this
IS not feasible and where the owners
! of factories employing numbers Of
aliens and alien born workingmen
are willing. it is tho purpose Of tho
committee to send its teachers TO the
factories at the noon hour. or any
other period deemed by the factory
folk desirable.

Warmer WEATHER CARRIES
ice FLOES OUT TO SEA

The warm. damp weather OF the
past few days has softened the ice in
the Delaware river so that a good
deal of the heavy pack has broken
away and noated down tho stream.
The early morning tide brought a
good deal OF ice into the Christiana
river and this, together with the
fog. caused some trouble during the
afternoon. Later the fog cleared
and the tide again carried the ice
away SO that the afternoon boat traf-
fic was unhindered.
Ferry service with Pennsgrove was
maintained throughout the day at two
hour intervals. The Philadelphia
steamers made regular runs, some
what delayed on account of ice foes
up the river. The steamer Brandy
wine to Deep Water Point, carried out
her regular trips.
