prehensive plan for the Americana
cation Of aliens in Kentucky, has
been set in motion by the Kentucky
Council Of Defense, according TO an
announcement made at the Execu-
tive Offices of the Council. Il was
pointed out by the Council that
Americanization work of the kind
called for in this program is impera-
tive as a public safety measure. II
is intended. among other things, to
Offset the effect of Hun propaganda
among the alien population.
The plan. which will be set in
operation this week. includes in
struction in the English language,
the inculcation of American ideals
and customs, and dissemination
among the aliens of correct informa-
ton on the war. especially on Amer
ica's position in the war
In communities where the number
OF aliens is sufficiently large to
render such expedient advisable,
night schools will be established for
instruction in the English language.
The texts used in this work will be
of a patriotic character. The alien
will be taught TO read and write the
language. by learning to read and
write patriotic slogans. reduced to
primary simplicity.
The plan calls, also, for noon
meetings of alien employees Of fac
tories and mines. TO be addressed by
speakers on subjects relating TO the
war. This part of the work will
aim chiefly at the correction of mis-
information. In some cases, also,
instruction in the English language
will be given in half-hour daily
lessons during the factory noon
hour.
In agricultural communities en-
bracing aliens in considerable num-
bers, community classes for instruc-
ton of the kind indicated, will be
conducted in school houses and
other convenient places.
