CITIZENSHIP CLASSES
Principals Eagerly Cooperate i'm
Naturalization Work of Department
of Labor, Once Need Is Felt.

Washington, Dec. 1U.--Schooi prin-
first that they cannot possibly arrange
citizenship classes to prepare aliens
for becoming Americans, have on
many occasions completely changed
their views when they have come to
full realization of the Importance
of the work and the necessity that the
schools shall undertake it. When the
problem has been grasped, they leave
nothing undone to solve it.
One educational official recently
wrote to Raymond F. Crist, deputy
commissioner of naturalization, to t.
effect that it would be impossible t;
establish citizenship classes in his Cit
because money and teachers could no
possibly be obtained. AS soon as he
had grasped the idea, however. that
the public schools have a real obliga-
ton to the alien and can develop his
capacities just as they develop the ca
pacities of native-born children, he
became enthusiastic over the project
and found in short order that he could
get not only the teachers but all the
equipment he needed.
Many teachers have never had ex-
perience in teaching adults and COM
paratively few are familiar with for
eign tongues, but the eagerness of the
foreigner to learn solves many prob
lens in itself. More schools than ever
are this year conducting citizenship
classes, and the number of foreigners
taught will be much Ia .lger than ever
before.
