about 80 per cent of the parents in

more than half were native born, of

Ideas concerning the care a
mother should have differed greatly
IN the two counties. But even in the
southern county, according to the re-
port, the standard Of maternity care
cannot be considered worthy of
American ideals. Although SO per
cent Of the mothers, as compared
with 10 per cent in the northern
county, had consulted their physi-
clans during the months before their
babies came. none Of them had what
-is considered by authorities to be
adequate prenatal care, and only 13

Take me, for instance. I was not

as boy, but as man Of age. I

Lectures

Twenty volunteer teachers conduct
these classes. According to each in
dividual capacity to instruct, the at~
tending mother gains more than a
mere knowledge Of properly spoken
English-she is told of American in
stitutions, Of American ideals and,
what would seem the most fitting Of
all subjects, the Constitution. But
the knowledge Of good English Is
absolutely prerequisite to an intelli-
gent and practical understanding of
the fundamentals Of "civics." So
the former is stressed until the
mother is far enough advanced to
grasp the meaning of the latter.

Americanized before the foreign

Zone Of the greatest obstacles In
our efforts to reach the foreign

the matter Of rural education.

"The adult immigrant settlers

than the men," said Mr.. Speek
"This fact was very clearly i'm.

OF creating an entirely new body,
such organizations as exist could

ut would seem advisable for our
high schools, normal schools and COL
leges specifically to train their I'M
migrant girl students to become
home teachers in the colonies of
their respective nationalities. Their
duty would be to visit the immigrant
homes, talk with the mothers. tell
them how to rear their children,
how to care for the family health,
how to prepare meals, how to work
in the home garden, how to can and
preserve, and they should organize
among them recreation facilities,
reading circles, amateur theatricals,
choruses, etc. The home teacher
should be attached to the teaching
staff Of the local public school,"
Another Slavic speaker was AL
bert Mamaty, of Pittsburgh, presi-
dent of the Slavic League of Amer
ica. He said:
"The foreign woman has been
until lately an almost entirely neg
lected factor in the American civil
ization. In most places her con-
dition is unnoted, no provision is
made for her instruction, the
thought of citizenship is seldom or
never associated with her, and she
receives hardly any consideration In

An,ericanization conference held in

It Is true that much OF the work of

and philosophical aspects Of the
Americanization movement. But the
phsse Of vital interest was the prob
lem Of assimiating the foreign-born
woman into the community life Of
her American-born sisters.
The foreign-born woman has been
regarded as the indefinite member
o. the immigrant family. The
children arc very real and tangible
beings, because they become a part
Of the public schools. Tho foreign
born woman has been isolated from
her native-born neighbors, but often
she has had the additional drag, in
the language of one Of the foreign
born men, Of being "boarder-ed" to
death. By this he meant that the
duties of caring for a household
were increased by visiting friends
and relatives from the old country.
