The term Americanization may
be defined as the conversion
of raw material imported from
various parts of the world into a
finished product. This implies
standard which is ideal. called
AmericaniSm. The true or stand
ard Americanism is a high ideal,
and not only the foreign born, but
many of the native stock as well
need to be moulded after the ideal
standard. So Americanization is
the blending of the best ideals OF
the old world with that of the
new.
America was formerly concern
ed principally with selective i'm
migration. The gates were open
ed to Southern Europe and desir-
ables and mdesirables alike flood
ed the American shores. This in

religions for time caused alarm
over the future of this country.
which seemed unable to digest
and assimilate these new elements
being fed into it so rapidly, hence
the policy was directed toward re-
striction of this general wave of
immigration and extravagant de-
scriptiOns were deliberately made
to depict many new arrivals as
dangerous adjuncts to this coun-
try.
But in the recent world conflict
and after America s entrance into
it, she found that many of the old
line Of immigrants, as represent
ed by the German, began to show
symptoms of disloyalty, whereas
the new immigrants from South
ern Europe gave positive proof Of
its genuine value to this country.
Over 175.000 boys of foreign birth
went to France with the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces, and we
observe in passing that the list of
casualties shows fully ten per cent
of Italian names, though only
about four per cent of the whole
is Italian. More than
three hundred thousand Italians
were on the army lists, and wher-
ever sent proved their devotion to
their adopted country by valiant
service. Besides there 35,000,000
of foreign birth and parentage re-
in the United States gave
assistance to the Gov
ernment by supporting the Liber-
ty Loans, the Red Cross and by
working faithfully in the muni-
tion factories.
This unexpected and extraordi-
nary situation worked a remark
able change Of sentiment in this
country. The immigrant seeing
the uncertainties of the Old World
and the possibilities Of the New
World has become a permanent
factor in American life. The ma
tive born by working shoulder to
shoulder with the foreign born,
both in war and in industrial pur-
suits at home, in the common pur-
pose to win the war, has come to
a better understanding Of the
stranger within our gates. The
real value Of this raw material is
now apparent, and instead of
measures to restrict immigration,

AMERICANIZATION

which will no doubt be sufficiently
restricted by European govern
ments themselves, the policy that
is being moulded in this country
now is the consideration of the
most rapid and efficient means of
converting the residential foreign
human material into full tedged
Americans. To this end Ameri-
canization societies have risen in
every state Federal and state
authorities are taking up the mat
ter In the state of Delaware in
March, 1919, a bill was presented
to the legislature providing for %
English night schools for foreign
ers, and carrying an appropria-
ton for the support of the move
ment. The bill was passed by al
most unanimous vote. When these
% night school classes were ar
ranged for, and at the first oppor-
tunity given for enrolment, 104S
non-English speaking men and
women registered for classes, thus
showing the eagerness with which
these foreign people grasp an op-
portunity to benefit themselves
and make them better fitted for
American citizenship.
There are various methods of
Americanization. There is also
the destructive method which pro-
poses the obliteration of all that
is foreign, viz: language, tradi-
tions and associations. By reason
Of patriotic fervor this provincial
process has many warm advocates
but it is contrary to psychology
and common sense. The Italian
born, with the Roman, Venetian
and present civilization back of
him, and with his musical and ar
tistic temperament, has a contri-
button for. this new world. The
Greek, the Pole, the Russian, the
etc, are the repositories
of a civilization rich in history
and tradition.
The constructive Americaniza-
ton plan is the most logical, since
it absorbs the best of these nation
alities and at the same time in
stills into them American ideals.
This mutual understanding can
be accomplished by first teaching
the foreigner English, hence the
Of evening English
classes as a basic necessity. Even
a slight knowledge of tie English
language opens up the way for an
other productive method Of
Americanization, that is, by the
more freely co-mingling Of the
native-born with the foreign-born.
A selective group Of representa-
tive fOreign-born can be brought
into contact with the native Amer
lean socially, as well as CONNER
cially In the furtherance Of such
a plan, societies may be formed,
as where in a certain locality over
100 intelligent young Italians
have joined to form an Italy
American society, and an equal
number Of Americans have signi-
fed their intention Of joining. The
benefits Of such societies would be
mutual and reciprocal ad would
be practical uplift toward gen
uine Americanization.

Several months ago the Teen-Age
Departments of the Methodist Sun
day Schools of the city held union
meeting and organized a Harris
burg Teen-Age Union, with the fol-
lowing officers in charge: Norman
d. Berlin, president; Harriet Stoner,
vice-president: Loretta Geift, secre-
tary; Glen Boyles, treasurer. Then
the idea was worked out of having
two boys from each Sunday School
study up three-minute Centenary
speeches, and interchange speakers
between the Sunday schools every
Sunday, thus spreading the Centen-
airy propaganda among the young
people of Methodism, as well as
training these leaders for the new
age on public speaking. tt was de-
cided to call these boys the Minute
Boys of Harrisburg Methodism.
There were originally only six of
these boys, but there are twelve
now, doing splendid service for the
Centenary, and ten of these will
compete for the prizes this evening.
Methodist Centenary headquarters
in New York got hold of this idea,
published the picture of the six origi-
nal Minute Boys in the Centenary
Bulletin. which reaches several hun
dred thousand homes throughout the
country. The scheme made such a
hit at once all over the country. that
Minute Boys organizations have been
formed now in all the centers of
Methodism and thousands of these
Minute Boys are on the job for the
Kingdom at this very minute.
The following ten boys will give
three to five minute competitive
speeches on a Centenary topic this
evening: Paul c. Ray, Stevens; Will
liam Wolfe, Epworth. Robert w.
Stuckenrath, Stevens; Howard w.
Potteiger, Camp Curtin; Norman ID.

recruiting service. The officers and
men of the huge camp were loath to
see the big-hearted skipper leave
Them While he was Bidding his adieus
he promised that he would do every
thing in his power for any or all of
them. Yesterday he received a letter
from his friend, Colonel l.. 3. Simonds,
of the Fiftieth Infantry, stationed at
Camp Dix, n. j., to send him musl-
clans.
The Colonel is not very we'll versed
in music. the plano playing of the
expert who was assisting with the
doughnut sale in the Salvation Army
drive, and the hurdy-gurdy perform
ances of Professor Hoy, for the same
purpose. the clarion notes of the bugle
sounding reveille and drill call being
about his limit. The letter from
Colonel Simonds to Colonel Kemper
was as follows THE band, Fiftieth
United States Infantry, Camp Dix,

commissioned grades and offers ex-
advancement to applicant possessing

Now Colonel Kemper knows that
there are many musicians in his dis
trict who are anxious to become men,
bers of real military band and he
wants to hear from them. Drummers,
clarinet players tuba performers,
trombon eartist or others with musical
ability who wish to assist the recruit
ing officer to make good his promise
can apply at 325 Market street.

Grace Methodist Episcopal Church
of New York City, who will give a

World Vision cdr Reisner is one
of the widest known clergyman in
Methodism. He is best known for
his firm stand for church publicity
and advertising in the newspapers, as
making use of the moving picture
machine and electric light signs, as
an aid to boosting the church, when
these forms of publicity activity were
thought by most of the church
people, beneath the church's scope.
His startling publicity methods in
Denver. Colorado, as we'll as in New
York City, brought such success that
his publicity plans were followed all
over the country and are now great
aid to every progressive church.
Teen-Age boys from the various
Sunday Schools will act as ushers,
and there will be special reservations
for the judges, Minute Men, who are
to be the special guests of honor,

young friends. A ticket is necessary
to get in these special reservations,
