who are successful viii receive certlf-
Gates from the State Council Of De-
Tense.
The final lecture was given last night
by Miss Harriet p. Dow, director Of
the Yorkville Institute, in New York
City, settlement and Amerlcanlzation

English classes. drills be given TO ac-
custom adult aliens TO the use OF
American public Institutions, such as
banks, postoflce, public library, and
employment bureaus Many adult
aliens, she said. do not make use OF such
places, because they do not know
where 10 go or what 10 say when they
enter them. She said they would well
come information which would enable
them to- use these American conve-
niences without feeling strange and III
at ease.
She recommended drills in drawing
up and cashing checks, in applying for
money orders, in taking out library
books. Miss Dow said much money
would be saved by foreigners If their
dread Of entering an American bank
did not make them prefer to cash their
pay checks In a saloon.
Later on, she would have the use OF
time tables taught. and imaginary trips
taken 10 acqualnt the aliens with Amer

said the foreigner would feel much
more like an American II he could be
at ease and know he was doing like

Miss Dow would not only teach the
lives OF Lincoln and Washington to
prospective citizens, but also the lives
Of noted living Americans whom the
new citizens Will hear about in the

ties America has TO offer them, from

children MUST
RETURN TO School
State Council of Defense
Will See That Riddles
Finish Their Education
THOUSANDS HELD
WAR WORK JOBS

|, Members of the Child Welfare Com
mlttee OF the State Council OF Defense
throughout the States today received
Instructions relative to the third cam
paign OF Childrens Year. inaugurated
by the Department OF Labor, which Is
Back-tO-Schoor' for the thousands OF
boys and girls OF Delaware who were
enticed 20 leave their studies withll
the year because OF the high wages by
munition and other plants doing war
work.
The object OF the drive is TO gather
In those who failed 10 return and reg
lister this fall or have left since the be-
ginning OF the term. The Welfare Com
mittee wo-ke.s will cooperate and
work In conjunction with the educa-
tioRal authorities OF every district In
Delaware and viii help In every way
possible to bring back the absentees.
II Is not the needy children always
who have sought work. There are
children who could well AFFORD to con-
tinue at school, who have left their
books 10 get jobs. Some have got JOB
because they thought 1t would be more
fun than going TO schol. Some have
stopped school because they and their
parents did not realize the value OF an
education.
IL is up TO the Welfare Committee
workers to prove TO the parents that
they are making a mistake by allowing
their children TO remain out of school.
To aid the committee In reaching the
parents and convincing them OF their
error, the Department OF Labor,
through its ChIldren's Bureau, has got
ten out the following reasons why chill
dren should attend school:
Fourteen-year-old boys and girls do
not often get good Jobs. The work they
are offered seldom gives a chance for
advancement Children who remain In
school until they are i6 or is usually
get better jobs than those who cave
at a.
Time spent In school has an actual
cash value. The United States Bureau
OF Education has complied statistics
showing the advantages occurring to a
boy who left at ii and one who stayed
until he graduated from the High
school. The i4-year-old youth was max
ing at 25 years 5000 less than the boy
who graduated, although the trst boy
had four years start at work on the
other fellow.
Few boys and girls OF "a are strong
enough for work. The boy OF "a years
often becomes crippled In health and in
later life cannot hold down as good
job as a boy who did not leave school
so soon.
