CITIZENSHIP WILL
 BE TAUGHT IN CITY
Glasses Arranged for Two Nights
 Each Week

Instruction in citizenship is now of fered on two evenings of each week in conjunction with the AmeTiCanization and evening school work in this city This instruction is free and is given on Monday evening of each week at 7:S0 in the Grammar school, and on Thursday evening at the same hour In the Elihu Burritt school on North street. Groups will also meet at S:30 on the same evenings but no group will have more than one hour on a sim gle night.
 Such instruction is particularly in tended for aiding the citizenship can ddates to prepare themselves for the examination which they are required to take on the facts of American his tc1y and government before they may be permitted to become citizens of this country It is also the purpose of such instruction to do more than that, for the development of a more valua- ble citizen is also aime at, for those years after the alien is naturalized.
 William l.. Hagen is the man who has been selected to conduct these meet ings for helping the coming citizens in their preparation to meet the test when the day arrives. MT. Hagen has the great advantage of having passed through the experience of becoming an adopted citizen of the United States. He knows what it means to be an alien and what it means to be a citi- zen. He also knows the kind of preparation needed to make a good American. He has enthusiasm for the task that he is undertaking. 2
 The United States bureau of natur- alization has issued certificates of CO., operation in approval of such educa- tional work for prom oting citizenship. The federal textbook is also supplied for all persons who attend the citizen ship instruction. A certificate is issued to all who complete the course offered, \ and the candidate who receives a cer- tif1cate will not need to pass an ex- animation at the court. There have been many who have previously taken advantage of such opportunities.
