per cent. is the almost herculean task
the Bureau of Naturalization faces.
The aid Of every resident of the com
munity must be enlisted in the work
If 1t is to be eective.
Employers of aliens can aid in the
work by having their workmen, par.
ticularly those who are deficient in
their knowledge of English or of
American institutions, enter the even
ing citizenship classes at once. Those
who have foreign-born friends or ac
quaintances who are not thoroughly
naturalized can see to it that they
throw off the foreign influence by
urging them, in friendly manner, to
enroll in one Of the classes.
Our foreign-born soldiers, many of
them have become naturalized since
entering the Army-either in camps at
home or on the fields of France-will
have American homes to return to, if
the Bureaus program is carried out
properly here. The relatives and
friends of these young men can have
the meaning of Americanization
brought home to them, just as the
young men themselves discover it in
the Army.
The doors of thousands of schools
are open to the foreigner who sincere
ly wishes to become an American, and
the teachers will receive him with a
cordial welcome. The schools have al
ready accomplished a great work in
the naturalization program, but there
is much more to be done. Sfany 9th
er schools will be opened in the near
future, it is expected.
The Government, through its Bill
reau of Naturalization, and in cooper
alton with the public schools, is ex-
tending helping hand to every alien
who comes here. If they realize their
opportunity, they will embrace it glad
ly. IL is the duty OF Americans to
make sure that foreigners understand
what is being done for them.
The courts are showing thorough
appreciation of what the Bureau and
the schools are doing, for they have in
the last two years recommended that
$4,000 aliens take the citizenship
courses-more than the total number
of aliens admitted to citizenship in
three years of the last decade.

THE WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON

Conditions arising from the war
have drawn great numbers of teachers
from the public schools, colleges and
universities. Unless their places can
be supplied by others whose education
and experience fit them for teaching,
but who for one reason or another
have recently withdrawn from school
work, the children and youth of the
entire country must suffer an irrepar-
able loss.
This shortage of capable teachers,
especially acute in some districts and
IN certain lines of education, is esti-
mated by the Bureau of Education at
$4,000 for the various schools and in
-titutions of Higher Education in the
'uited States. 1t is the patriotic duty
If all who can temporarily return to
the ranks of teaching, to offer their
services and to notify the School
Board Service Division of the Bureau
of Education, Washington, d. c., of
the offer.
Often wives of soldiers and others
in government service could return to
teaching in grades of school work in
which they have had recent expert
ence. Former teachers of chemistry,
manual training and the like now en-
gagged in other work not so vital to
public needs, might again take up
teaching for a time. Ministers and
others who were once teachers might
serve a neighboring high school on
half time until war demands are re-
| Taxed.
School boards, city superintendent
and other school authorities should
seek out such persons and prevail up
on those of especial fitness to come
back into the profession at least tenn
porarily.
