ALIENS WELCOME
EDUCATION WORK

Important work among the foreign
born population is being done by the
Americanization committee OF the
State councils OF defense. About
thirty of the State councils now have
special committees for this work.
In most cases their organization ex-
tends also into counties and into
communities. These widely scattered
agencies receive advice and sugges-
tons from a central office here,
which is part OF the council of ma
tional defense.
The teaching of English is one of
means the simple affair it might
seem to be, for a middle-aged i'm
migrant is sometimes unable and
frequently unwilling to undertake
to learn a new language at his time
OF life.
To persuade him 10 learn English,
the AUGMENTATION workers in the
councils have first to show him that
il is virtually impossible to become
educated in American customs and
ideals unless he understands the Ian
guage spoken by the great masses OF
the American people. The younger
people in the foreign groups respond
more quickly. Most Of them already
have some smattering Of English.
even when they are living in foreign
settlements.
To spread tho use OF English
among foreiSn-born people, classes
have been organized in the foreign
districts OF the cities. The Massa-
chusetts committee OF public safety
tries To reach the parents through
the children. The children who learn
English at the day schools and even
ing schools are given literature to
take home to their families and arc
encouraged to repeat to their faith
ers and mothers the lessons about
American democracy which they are
taught in the classroom.
In the schools OF Las Animas
county, Colorado. children are given
special credit for teaching English
to their parents. Kentucky is one
Of the States which has a carefully
planned program for doing Ameri-
Many councils OF defense have es-
tablished war information services
for the foreign people. The extent
of anti-American propaganda among
the foreign-born and the important
part which the foreign groups play
in the prosecution OF the war have
made imperative the establishment
of easily accessible and authoritative
sources OF Information. The infor-
nation offices have been opened in
EASILY accessible places and are
usually attended by workers who
speak a number OF foreign languages.
Information is given on a long list
OF subjects. These include the draft
regulations, provisions of the soldiers
and sailors insurance act. opportuni-
ties for war service, learning Eng
Iish. publications issued by the Gov
eminent with regard to the war.

e TRANSLATORS

Brig. Gen. william W. Harris. for.
mer aide TO President Wilson and Of
ficer in charge OF public buildings and
grounds in the District. who IL nov
in Paris directing the equipment OF
American peace delegates. has called
for translator in twenty-three Ian
guages to serve at the conferences,
news dispatches from Paris said today.
The number of translators required
is Indicative OF the diversity OF races
and countries having interests before
the peace congress.
The translators required include
those who are familiar with Chinese,
Arabic. Turkish, and some other Ian
guages not even as well known
General Harris Is after translators
whose knowledge Of the various Ian
guages is complete, in order that the
peace delegates may get the exact
meaning OF treaties and documents.
General Harris has been overseas for
some time. He left the post OF d.
rector of public buildings and
grounds here in September. 1917.

WALL ST. MARKET

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-There was no
change in speculative conditions at
the opening of the stock market to-
day. except that less vigor was shown
by those in charge of the manipula-
tion OF specialties like the tobacco
group. Leading stocks reflected I'M
certainty in the first few minutes, and
then were under pressure, showing
fractional losses.
Steel common moved UP Il at POS
and then declined to 95Is. Marine pre-
ferred dropped u to 1llIs, and the
minor steel industrials generally
showed fractional losses. A few spe-
cialties made gains. Wilson Co. ad-
vancing 1 point to T0Ii. and CONSOLE
dated Gas ranging from 1904 to 100.
There was little interest shown In
the trading in the standard issues
during the forenoon, and the frac-
tional changes were in nearly all
cases to lower levels. Steel common.
after selling up to 96k, reacted TO
e5 y. and the other steel stocks acted
in the same manner.
The copper stocks were fractionally
lower. Marine preferred, after SELL
ing down to 110&, rallied to 111h.
