Urged for Alien
Women With Vote
Night Schools Fail to Reach
Them, Superintendent
Are Told

Difficulties encountered in the effort
to Americanize immigrant women who
have acquired the vote were recounted
yesterday by the Board of Superin-
tendents of the Department of Educa-
ton by a committee from the New
York State Woman Suffrage party,
which asked the superintendent to
help in the solution of the problem.
Miss Mary E. Dreier, chairman of
the committee, presented to the board
a request that 100 home teachers be
provided for the Americanization work
She stated that hundreds of immigrant
women had refused to attend night
school classes in the public schools
and. therefore, must be reached in
their homes.
Every few immigrant men, and even
fewer immigrant women, are drawn
into night school classes" she said
"Grown men and women, weary with the
days work, arc brought to public
school buildings, set down at children s
desks and put through dry routine
that cannot hold their interest. These
men and women want to learn English,
but. more than that, they want to
learn about America. They need to
be taught by people who understand
their needs.
81 can think of no more constructive
war service than the Americanization
of this group of women. They under
stand the purpose Of the war, perhaps;
less than any other group. 1t is not
merely that we are interested in MAX
ing them intelligent voters. We are
even more interested in making them
intelligent and sympathetic citizens.
The idea of the home teacher policy is
no experiment. 1t has been tried in
California, where it was authorized by
the Legislature. The idea has been in
dorsed by Federal and state au
thorties."
The Board of Superintendsents seemed
disposed to favor the project, but with
held decision. Gustav Straubenmuller,
Acting superintendent of Schools, pre-
sided at the meeting. In addition to
Miss Drcier, the suffrage committee in
cluded Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, Mrs.
Charles c. Rumsey, Miss Esther +.
Lape, Mrs. Sigmund Polltzer Miss
Lillian Valid, Miss Trenholme, Miss
Edith Jardine. Miss Josephine Schan
and Mrs. Simkhovitch.

have had the privilege of talking with
Republicans from all sections of the
country while in Washington and in
this city, and l am impressed with the
fact that they have been all of one
mind on questions of general policy
for the Republican party.
They believe for one thing in the
open door policy of the party, a policy
that will welcome every one naturally
of Republican proclivities to engage in
activity under the banner of Republi-
canism. They believe in looking for
ward to doing big things for the coun-
try--frst of all in prosecuting to a
victorious finish the war we now are
engaged in.
Il was impressed with this while
chatting with Governor Whitman, who
said that so far as he could discover
the state and nation were as one man
in a determination successfully to fin
ish our great task as nation. I have
been Informed by various county chair
men familiar with the Republican stu
alton in this state that the party is
united here. AS have said more than
once, there is no geography in the
patriotism that animates the nation at

viction that there will be tremendous
economic problems to engage the best
efforts Of the party after the war is
over"

the day was the luncheon given by

1t concerns these Liberty loans, is not

not economics, in the formal sense of
that word. It's just a plain selling

why it's been easy to manage so we'll

chief business.
Advertisers Saved Loans

bigger than most Of US even can grasp;
and at the beginning we never could
be sure that we were going to get
them But we got the big advertisers
working with us and we put the thing
across. In this section alone we've had
the advantage of more than 100000
worth of advertising space.
Advertisers have pitched in and
bought the space we needed-bought
1t, understand. We haven't had anv
free advertising. It's all been paid
for, and has duly appeared over the
names of firms that are household
words throughout the country"

n Washington, Feb. THE follow
ing authoritative statement on tho
food situation in italy was obtained
ON official Italian sources here:
Ever since Italy went int, the
half years. the Italian government
has regulated the importation and
distribution of cereals in the king
dom. For the past two years an In
ventory has been taken of all grains.
and they have further been reGuisi-
toned by the government. which ha
fixed, maximum prices, suppressin:;
every private commercial handling
of these grains. S54s :,
ed the speculation and boarding OF al!
the grain produced in the interior,
and special government provisions
impose a. heavy fine on anyone dis
obeying these DEGREES. The requisi-
tioningsi is carried put by the mills
tary authorities with the strictest OBJ
servance Of the law:
In August, 1915, all mills in the
Kingdom were ordered to mill the
wheat to IS per cent; that is to say:
16 or. 20 per cent higher than was
usual in the other allied countries.
The government issued restrictive or
ders, some of which were too drastic.
For instance, the milling of whea:
was raised to so per cent, but this
regulation had to be modified and the
percentage reduced to IS. 9
SO '.On September IL, 1917, q decree
was issued making the rationing Of
wheat flour and OF. bread obligatory.
In those communes where Italian
paste, corn, rice, rye, and oats con-
stitute the principal nourishment OF
the population, the rationing Of these
foodstuffs, as we'll as of wheat and
bread, is also obligatory.
The %rationing is carried out by
means of tickets or family booklets,
to the age and the conditions OF
work Of each consumer. The aver
age ration has been fixed at 25O-30O
grammes (about Sc pounds) for the
civil population. Only the men VIII
do heavy work may have 900 gram
mes. But even these figures nave
only relative value, and the real
r%ationing figures nay be deduced
cit was then decreed that In pub

most all workmen take their meals
In these places, it is seen that the rs-

nominal.
According to the decree. of Janu-
airy 8, rel the smallest quantities OF
grain in the country are now taken
over BY the government. so that equal
distribution nay be made. Any one
who sells more than. twenty-five
