cational department in the presidents

The next most important object Of
the school patrons department of the
N. e. A. Is to assist in every way pos
sibie In the Americanization of The
foreign-born population. 1t Is not
urged that men who have been warped
with prejudice by the tyranny from
which they have suffered for genera
lions under foreign governments IAN
be transformed into Americans by a
course OF study, but these women
know, many of them from personal
experiences with servants and through
social settlement and church mission
work, that knowledge of our language
Is an absolute necessity If these ig-
norant and bewldered foreigners are
to. gain even glimpse into the mean
ing of the American spirit for which
true democracy calls. Much of this
work can be and must be done out
side of the school room and this great
body of efficient lay-workers stands
ready and willing to assist in estab-
fishing friendly relations that will
help transform the disappointed and
oftentlmes indignant foreign laborer
into a friendly co-operator.
Especially is this needed by the
non English speaking wives of these
men, shut away from all outside in
fluences as they are, In their own
homes.
Again, the war draft revealed the
fact that over 100000 white Ameri-
cans In our country are illlterate-
and the iliteracy Is far greater among
the negroes. Both of these classes
are menaces to our nations life. and
In both spheres the women OF COM
narrative leisure have large opportuni-
ties for assisting and creating a de-
sire for an education and In helping
TO point the way of obtaining 1t.
The fact that one-half the men
drafted from the United States into
the war proved to be physically unfit
WINS another revelation of our need Of
a hotter knowledge of the laws of
benlth. and of the crime which we
have been constantly committing by
continuing children five or six hours n
div In unsanltary buildings. A large
national appropriation Is needed for
Tho lettering of these shamefully dis
oe,rous conditions. No one knows

IS a tremendous obstacle on the road
TO success. 1t Is they who must nurse
the SICK and sorrow with the suffer-
ing far more than the teacher can
40. 1t is they who should take charge
or and insist upon the maintenance
or inspecting physicians and visiting
nurses in our schools.
Bigger Salaries for Teachers.
This cannot be accomplished by the
laity alone. The school teachers
should be better educated on this vital
subject. The school patrons depart
ment must demand that the teachers
of the country shall be better trained
concerning the laws of hygiene and
sanitation. But when 1t Is officially
stated that the average teacher In
the majority Of our states receives
between $500 and 5000 annual salary
how can we expect or demand that
the efficient, well-educated women
shall turn from salaries twice the
size of this to teach our children, If
we remain Indifferent to their well
fare? So the agitation for better
salaries is part of the work of this
new organization.
Every man and woman should have
some definite means of earning a live
lihood, for independence is neces-
sary part of true democracy. There
fore these five nationwide organlza-
tons are interesting themselves in
vocational training.
But in order that it may not be at
the sacrifice of the broader humani-
ties that general culture brings and
the beauty and attractveness which
it lends to life they are urging an
advance of at least two years In the
compulsory school life of our children

ton needed the help OF I'LL hands on
the farm during the summer months 7
The temptation In families where
financial stress is felt is of course to
ignore the future rights Of the child
and to put him to work MS soon as
the law allows. Therefore these COM
munity mothers are also urging that
compulsory laws shall be more thor.
oughly carried out. and at the same
time are trying to have established
mothers pension law, by means of
which the state that Is hereafter to
have the intelligent or the Ignorant
services of the child shall help to
keep him in school by contributing a
small sum OF money toward the main
tenance of the home, and thereby In.
sure greater safety to our national
life and ideas.
Another revelation which the recent
war has emphasized should appeal to
the heart and judgment of every
woman-the segregation of the feeble.
minded.

"In China there is wonderful social
solidarity. People get together not so
much by localities, but by trades and
professions. Every one belongs to

organized. as the Chinese have a
genius for organization. Despite
poor lines Of communication, lack Of
railroads and telephones, these guilds
