WORK DONE WITH
FOREIGNERS HAS
BEEN A SUCCESS

The United States department of
labor, education and information
service, has issued q statement tell
ing of the work Davenport has ac-
complished with the foreign born.
The report follows:
Davenport has come to con-
clusion. The United States natuT-
alization examiner of that locality,
who comes constantly in contact
with the foreign element, helped
Davenport to form this conclusion.
The conclusion is that 1t has de-
prived itself of a great deal in not
having become acquainted with the
men and women from across the
water who have elected that city
as a place in which to live and
work. Harry Downer of Friendly
House, who probably is known to
every alien in the city, has known
this fact for a long time. But most
Davenport people have been too
busy to think much about it. The
war has made them think.
1T wasn't comfortable in Daven-
port during the war to realize that
the city had over 5000 inhabitants
about whose loyalty no one knew
anything; at least there were some
uncomfortable months before ma
tive-boFn American understood
that their 20 odd per cent of for
eign-born residents were after all
going to be loyal. AS soon as Dav-
exporters realized this fact some
of them began to feel that it was
rather wonderful that these people
should be loyal when so very little
had been done to make them so.
Then DavenpOrterS began to try to
make up for lost time. They
thought that possibly the reason
some of the foreign population
didn't particularly care about Ply
mouth Rock descendants was be-
cause they couldn't understand the
language they used or the history
made by the earlier arrivals. They
engaged teachers and started a
school and sent out notices that the
school would be at home to for
eigners. About fifty ambitious
foreigners came to the school and
were delighted with the free teach
ing and the excellent text books
furnished by the bureau of natural
ization, but the proportion of stu
dents to the whole foreign popula-
ton of Davenport was by far too
small.
Harry DOwner, OF Friendly
House, and others who had ac-
quaintances among these men and
women who figure in school re-
ports as 'foreign-born adults had
been trying to tell Davenport
things which Mr.. Downer had said
in an address before the local
board Of military affairs of the ma
tional council of defense: Too
long and too generally the country
has ignored the human quality of
the immigrant Mr.. Downer knew,
for example, that when he sent out
invitations to 500 or so foreign men
to come to a smoker at Friendly
House about half of them came, and
they all had a mighty good time
together. He had a shrewd idea that
those people would respond as
readily to an invitation to be Amer
icanized If it were made as attrac-
tive as smoker.
THE local council of defense
and the women's club began TO
have convictions that what would
appeal to the foreign people was
just about the same thing as would
| appeal to themselves. So instead of

amount asked, leading all of the
