worker realizes there is no stronger
force for Americanization in the
country than the settlement, and is
fully aware Of his or her response

the children through school or kim

through club work. to the grown
ups through English lessons and
lectures on civics, given in Yiddish,
IN Italian or in whatever language
is best understood by the people Of
the neighborhood. With the teach
ing of English and civics goes tho
education of the immigrant in
American ways Of thinking and liv-
ing. The aim Of the settlement
worker is to teach the people Of
the settlement neighborhood their
duty toward their families, their
nelghbors, their city and their coun-
try. They do this, not by nero
teaching Of language or citizenship,
but by strengthening in every way
possible the personal contact be-
tween the neighborhood house and
the community. The surest way to
make true Americans is to bring
them into direct contact with men
and women who themselves are fine.

work that the forty-five united

Americanization Work
Centres in Settlements

Neighborhood houses are finding
also that the intimate cooperation
within the federation not only
makes possible a broadening of the
services they have already under
taken, but allows them to branch
out into entirely new channels. An
arbitration board has been planned
to assist in the impartial arbitration
Of disputes, either industrial, eco
nomic or social, that may be re-
ferred to it. The members of this
board will act, not only as unit,
but will stand ready to serve on
any arbitration body as non-parti-
san citizens. Club service with a
director to advise and standardize
club work in the various houses,
hospital service and household eco
nomic service are all new channels
being followed by neighborhood
workers. A public health programme
has been mapped out whereby the
city may be divided and health cen
tres established to carry out health
education.

from the very beginning.
"The French women, on the other
hand, seemed not to have the stay
ing quality in war work that the
English girls did. They soon drifted
back to the home when they found
the English and American girls were
doing all the necessary hospital
work. 1t sometimes made us a bit

There is plenty Of money in France

American--but the French mind has
not been trained to see a general

will shrug their shoulders and say
of the refugees, why don't their
people take care of them?' The fact
that the refugees have no people,
that they are old and feeble. and
their people arc the ones who lie
unier the peoples, is something the
nation does not yet realize. That

She thinks herself a sad exception
to the general rules of life and
takes as much interest as usual in
the love affairs of her friends.
"When a French girl does take to
a career nowadays it is with no
sense of JOY, no ambition to make a
rame for herself.
"That is why the problem of the
French woman in industry and pro-
fessions is going to be so much more
difficult than that of the English
woman. Neither can marry, but
the one is still trying to dodge
spinsterhood, while the other rushes
to meet it,

launched by the more general or
CARNATIONS, the Red Cross, the
United War Workers, the Fuel Adj

the Liberty loan committee. All of
these and more came to the settle

is a shortage Of men. The scheme
Of life for the French girl
has always been "to love and be

a war to change her dream of 81

her own.
While the French girl is thus re-
fusing TO meet fate halfway the
English girl has gone way beyond
the necessities Of the emergency and
has wiped marriage out OF her
scheme OF things.

work.
BY fostering a mutual exchange
Of services between it's members
the federation encourages them in
developing their especial talents and
resources. The small settlement is
finding its great opportunity in the
union. Some Of the forty-five or
carnations in the federation are
large and influential, but others are
small and specialized in the distinc-
tive service they give their own
neighborhoods. Some are devoted
to Kindergarten work, some to mugs
ing, some to cooking and sewing,
some to caring for the undernour-
ished children of their districts,
some to play schools. Through the
union the work of each of these
becomes better known and the ex-
change of methods and ideas broad
ems the service of the different
