FOREIGNERS ARE

Bureau Of Naturalization Doing
Effective Work Through

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Approxi-
mately one-seventh of the populati ton
of the United States is foreign born,
with a very large proportion ignorant
of American ideals and institutions,
and. to that extent, loyal to the coun-
try of their birth. Never in the his
tory Of the nation has undivided sup
port been so sorely needed A knoWl-
edge of American government and
what it stands for can only be gained
by the aliens through education, but,
once understood, loyal allegiance to
the country of their adoption newt
ably follows. 1t means welding the
heterogeneous masses into one patri-
otto body.
With the beginning of the school
year, the door Of opportunity is again
opened wide to the adult foreign
born. Last year. the public school
authorities of the United States,
working in close cooperation with
the Bureau Of Naturalization of the
U. S. Department of Labor, MAIN
tanned night school classes for alien
instruction in approximately 1,700
cities, towns and rural communities,
located in every state in the Union.
The opening of this years classes is
accompanied by every assurance of
increased attendance and a material
betterment of the results already OBJ
tanned through this stupendous edu-
cational campaign.
1t is the confident belief of the
Bureau of Naturalization that alien
instruction will gradually transform
this vast army of foreigners into an
army of Americans with common
ideals, common hopes, common senti-
ments and unadulterated loyalty.
