Catholic Council Lays Barrage to Teach True Americanism
 in Dark Quarters.

Washington.-Training thousands of batteries of movie machines on the quarters where ignorance and Hitter acy hide true American democracy from nine million foreign-born or un- informed people, the National Catholic War Council has begun a nationwide campaign of civic education that will enlist twenty thousand workers. Be- hind barrage of periodically educa- tional films, fitted for the comprehen- sion of every foreigner and of every nliterate, regiments of minute men, trained to the language and customs of these classes, will fight to bring to them tine real meaning of democracy, their rights and obligations under the American democratic government and the fundamental principles of indus trial justice. Until every district, darkened to true Americanism, is so enlightened that Bolshevism cannot breed there the civic campaigners of the National Catholic War Council declare that they will never let up in this most vital of all their postwar activities
 From the decks of fleet of auto trucks that will carry Scamionette" film service t0 the most isolated groups of miners and woodsmen as we'll as from every available platform in the congested quarters of the larger cities, the minute men of this movement have already begun to drive home the truths of democracy in the tongue and vernacular of their various audiences. Their itinerary is based on a special

survey of the location of the five mil lion immigrants who know little or nothing of America and it's language and of the four million natiye-born H. literates.

 Although intensive drives to reach into the heart of the foreign and iIlit- crate quarters throughout this country will be one of the main objectives of the civic educational campaign of the National Catholic War Council, it's reels and speakers are also prepared te offer to all English-speaking au- diences, such as groups of women who may desire more information of Amer ! ican civic fundamentals, comprehen- sive courses on the workings of our government In every case these en- tertainments will be brought as close as possible to the people and will be entirely free and open to every one who cares to attend them. Beyond preliminary course of six weeks and continuation course Of twenty four weeks with films and speakers the Ma tional Catholic War Council is pre- pared to offer simple text books to all its auditors who are interested
 Summarizing the objects of their new civic campaign, leaders of the Ma tional Catholic War Council declare that "in civic education the following points should be emphasized: CD All the people, both native and immigrant, should know what democracy means. (2) They should be acquainted with their rights under democracy. (3) They should have knowledge of their obligations in democracy. (4) They should be acquainted with the simple workings of the government (5) They should know how to invoke the powers of the government for protec- ton and understand the voting privi- lege.
