school instruction for its foreign popu-
lation drew from the board OF naturali-
zation statement today declaring that
such action would surely appear a
danger step backward, for il ever
attention in education was needed it is
needed now"
The statement cites statistics showing
that in 1910 there were l,oS0000 litter
ate foreigners in the United States, but
adds that gratifying improvement has
been shown since that time through the
night schools established by public
school authorities in o-operation with
the bureau of naturalization.
Military preparedness is no more
vital to the countrys safety than citizen
ship preparedness" the statement said.
No one should be permitted to remain
in ignorance OF his duties and RESPONSE
bllites as a resident OF the United
States and this applies particularly to
the foreign born"
For the past five years there has been
10 night school instruction for the
foreign population in Oklahoma City.
The night school was discontinued at
that nme on account OF shortage OF
money.
The proposed budget contains an item
Of $500 for the support OF a night

item must be approved by the voters
at tomorrow's election before it is
