ber. 1T was nine degrees below zero
one morning last week." said MIR.

ed class here. aitho some correspond
ence had been carried on between Mr.
Eierbe and himself relating to the
,roposition- Prof Logan said that
he was willing TO undertake the in.
struction of the proposed class. but
was too busy to look after the pre-
liminaries connected with its forma-
tion. IF such class can be launch
ed here" continued Prof. Logan, "and
the naturalization officials give it the
encouragement and attention neces-
sar.' to make it success ! will take
charge of il as teacher, altho there is
no pay or compensation connected
with such work, other than that de-
rived from the satisfaction of being
able TO help foreigners applying for
naturalization to clearer compre-
Hension of the duties and require
ments OF American citizenship"
