Meriden Now Follows Eyd
Set By This City

characterization work in this city 1Ns
continuing to ''Iook up" The d1rectnE5
of the America nization committee, F4
j. O'Brien, in declaring that th6
work Of the committee has gone for
naught unless a 'fOllOW up SYSTEM
as regards the America nizing of the.
foreigner is carried on after the
point of naturalization, is practically
bringing forth one of the points in his
argument, in the announcement OF
reception which will be held for the
foreigners next week, following the
naturalizing of II number of future
New Britain citizens.
1t is probable that the reception
Will be held Thursday of next week
at the Elihu Burritt school Mayor
Qulgley will preside and Judge Mes
XIII will give an address. A speaker
Will be secured who will speak on the
subject of Americanization to the
members present.
New Britain is the first city Of the
state, which has taken up the subject
of entertainment for the foreigner in
this way Aeriden is now following
it's example, and it is probable that
other cities will do SO. At present the
movement is being promoted with
great deal of care in Los Angeles,
Cleveland, Rochester and Detroit.
Certificates of naturalization will be
awarded to the citizens, with some
thing of the formality which attends a
high school presentation, since it is
found that a successful candidate is
impressed with the Importance at
tached to the ceremony.
Afternoon classes for mothers,
among the alien women are being
conducted Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday at the Sacred Heart
school, the IIlihu Burritt school and
the East Street school. These classes
are for the instruction of English and
citizenship. An evening class for
mothers is also being conducted at
the Russian church, for which Is wO-
men have already applied.
A committee has been appointed to
carry on the work in the factories of
the city. No noon classes have been
established, as in many other cities,
since the conditions are different in
many respects and the majority of
the men return home at the noon
hour
The program which is now under
way, and which has been devised by
the Americanization committee. is as
follows:
MISUNDERSTANDING classes, spe-
cial classes learning of English, a
central bureau of information, talks
and addresses, press notices, main
tanning attendance in classes. Citizen
classes, natural liza
ton papers, public reception. creating
a felt need. Industrial-ShOp COM
munities organized, cooperation in
naturalization, community singing,
stimulation of language study. Social
Weekly social evenings special pro-
grams, contact by fellowship, encOur-
aging of right activities. Domestic
Home visits home classes, health and
sanitation, and better housing.
