secretary" MT. Burgess announces that as result of several confer ences with Secretary Franklin K. Lane and the AmericanizatiOn author ities of the department of the interior he has written to every bishop in the Episcopal church, urging them to in- clude adequate appropriations for eX- tensive Americanization work in the budget of the Episcopal nationwide campaign to mobilize the resources of the church for it's reconstruction work.
 An elaborate Americanization pro- gram has been mapped out by MT. Burgess for the Episcopal church in it's cooperation with the federal gov ernment. It includes the expenditure of at least a million dollars during the next three years, the arousing of every EpiscOpalian to hold himself personally responsible for the better ment of the fOre1gn-bOrn i'll his com munity, training of special clergy and workers to minister to the alien races. cooperation with the Greek and Rus sian orthodox churches, whose work in America is badly handicapped for lack of funds, and finally a survey of the need of Americanization work in each of the eighty-seven Episcopal dioceses.
 Not only does the Episcopal church plan to assist the government in teaching the foreign-born to read and write English, but to go still further in the process of Americanization.
 "The efforts of nearly all American ization agencies in the past have been
The Cordova daily times., 1919-09-26

focused on the question of teaching the foreign-born English" said MT. Burgess. ''The imposition of a lan- guage is by no means the creation of nationalism, although a common language is essential to a common understanding and as an aid in com mon thought and common action. The new definition of Americanization has come to mean the interpretation of America, real and ideal, to the native and foreign born through reliable sources, in terms of their own eXpe- rience, to the end that they may love and admire America and so serve her and share in American life in har- mony with their fellow-citizens."
 To show the need of this work by the church, MT. Burgess quotes TheO- dOre Roosevelt as saying:
 No greater work can be done by a philanthropic or religious society than to stretch out the helping hand to the men and women who come here to this country to become citizens, and the parents of citizens, and therefore to do their part in making for veal or for woe, the future of the land. If we do not take care of them, if we do not try to uplift them, then as sure as fate our own children will pay the penalty. If we do not see that the immigrant and the children of the immigrant are raised up, most assuredly the result will be that our children and children's children are pulled down. Either they will rise or we shall sink"
 Too many Americans are disposed to think the AmericanizatiOn ques- ton settled, because the tide of inn migration has now turned away from America instead of toward it, Mr. Bur- gess stated.
 "If there should be no immigration for a decade" he continued, we would still have the very considera- ble problem of Americanizing those who are now here and will remain. These offer a more difficult problem than the newly arriving immigrant, for they have grown indifferent to American ideals and many are under the influence of baneful influences which seek to destroy instead of build up the republic"

EPISCOPALIAN
 LABOR AMONG
 FOREIGN BORN

Efforts are being made to enlist the entire resources of the Episcopal church to aid the department of the interior in it's work of Americanizing the 13,OO0,000 people in the United States who do not read or write the English language.
 To study the needs among Italians, who constitute per cent of the na- tion's population, a conference of all the Italian clergy and workers of the Episcopal church was held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 9-1O-11, at the General Theological Seminary. A special service was held on Wednesday night in the Ca thedral of St. John the Divine for the communicants of the Italian Episcopal mission of New York City, at which Bishop Suffragan, Charles Sumner Burch and a representative of the department of the interior spoke.
 The Episcopal board of missions, aroused by the alarming amount of illiteracy revealed by the selective draft law among the foreign-born population, has named the Rev. Thomas Burgess as "Americanization

Left by Prince Of Wales
Chiefly That OF a Likable Young Man

Instead. on this and other occa-
sions the prince preferred to tell
Of having visited the American
army of occupation in Coblenz last
winter or having met many Amer
leans, including President Wilson,
in France.
The prince, doubtless having
heard much of this country, where
every citizen is a sovereign" was
anxious to give offense to no one.
and this, coupled with his natural
ly agreeable nature, made him a
shining mark for photographers
and motion picture camera men.
Acres of sensitized plates and un-
counted miles of film must have
arrived Tuesday noon and depart
ed Friday night, and more than
once the royal schedule was de-
layed by the click click -clickety-
click of the camera shutters.

hour after his arrival in the city
the prince admitted that the great
est barrage he ever faced was that
of the photographers who caught
him as he was leaving the Union
station with Vice President Mar
shall. Whenever he left the Bel
mont home. if there was a spark of
daylight, the event was registered
on plate or film, and when he
reached his destination there was
the same group of picture getters
with their machines all set. The
prince rode fast. but they rode
faster.
So far as has been learned, but
one photographer was turned
down, and that was the English
man who is member of the royal
suite. 1t was at Mount Vernon
that an official stepped up to the
prince and said that the photog-
rapher of the royal party wanted
to get picture of his highness in
the dining room of the house, and
would his highness step inside.
"Oh, he has pictures enough"
said the prince, with a trace Of
annoyance. I'm tired of so many
pictures"
And leaving the disappointed
picture man to take down his
camera, the prince strolled out on
the lawn and was soon laughing
heartily at one of Vice President
Marshall's stories.

acknowledging the smiles OF a
duchess.
It is as hard to imagine the
prince being naughty or imperious
as it would be to picture Joseph
Tumulty running for Office on an
I. w. w. ticket-it just can't be
done. Those who watched the
progress of the royal guest through
Washington noticed that he tried
to acknowledge every greeting.
His attitude seemed to be that II
man, woman or child thought
enough of him to cheer or wave, 1t
was incumbent on him to return
the salute. Nor did he hesitate to
rubber" at any building or crowd
or incident that interested him.
On one occasion his car was roll
ing up 10th street. preceded by
half dozen motor cycle policemen,
when they overlook a colored mes
senger boy on bicycle, laden with
bandboxes until he looked like a
hay wagon. The first policeman
shouted to the messenger to get
out of the way, the second crowd
ed him over a few feet and by the
time the third came along the mes
senger had begun little repartee
on his own account. Taking more
interest in the travelling dialogue
than in his wheel, the messenger
narrowly escaped a collision with
a street sweeper. but not band
box slipped.
The incident took but moment,
but the prince half rose in his car
to miss none of the details. and
laughed heartily at the furry the
passing of the royal party had
caused.
The impression should not be
gained. however. that there is any
thing superficial or irresponsible
about the young Briton's character.
Above all he is natural and sincere,
and when the occasion demanded
ne always nStco Win oCSoiiiihS
dignity.
This was first made evident dur
ing his visit to the wounded SOL
diers at Walter Reed Hospital. His
bearing among the wounded men
there was both soldierly and SYM
pathetic. There was nothing pa
tronizing about it-nothing to Of
fend the sensibilities of the most
Independent young American. AS
he passed among the heroes of
Cantigny and ST. Mihiel, of Sois-
sons and Chateau-Thierry. of the
Champagne and the Argonne, his
greeting was genuine. as were his
expressions Of sympathy and con-
graduation.
Most Of the, patients with whom
the prince talked were about his
own age, and the prince was him.

France before many of the men
