Children TO Carry
Message of America
TO Homes of Aliens
Municipal Forum Will Enlist
Youngsters to Tell Par
ents Meaning of National
Ideals at Twenty Centres

The Municipal Forum of the Mayor S
Committee of Women on Reconstruc-
ton and Relief is planning the great
est Americanization campaign in the
history of the city, it was announced
yesterday by Mrs. Paul Forester, sec
retary of the committee in charge of
the forum. The campaign, Mrs. Focr-
stcr explained, is to reach the parents
Of the children in the public schools,
especially those in the foreign dis
tricts of the city, by getting the chill
dren to carry the Ideals OF Americana
ism into the home.
The committee IN charge is planning
twenty municipal forum centres in
various parts of the city. The best
and most commodious schools in the
respective districts Will be used. Meet
ings Will be held once or twice weekly
An important feature of the gather
ings Will be the reading of Americana
zation messages by men prominent in
the nations political, industrial and
educational life.
Brady Aiding Campaign
Another feature of the campaign will
be the showing of moving pictures.
This part of the work is in charge of
William A. Brady, who is at work on
plans for the production of special
films for the campa ign. The coopcra-
ton of all the big film producing COM
panles in the country has been en-
listed
1--WE find" said Mrs. Forester, that
our chief difficulty is in reaching the
parents of children. Much of what
the children learn in school and else
where of the ideals of Americanism is
nullltied because Of the ignorance pre-
valling in their homes.
Lack of English flinders
MANY of the parents do not speak
English and it is impossible for us to
reach them unless we can get the
children themselves to do it, We Will
invite the parents to our forum meet
ings and try to stimulate their inter
est in the English language and in the
things America stands for. We regard
this work, in this time of social un-
rest. as the most important there is to
be done. We want to make the thou
sands of children in this city the in
terpreters of Amercanism.'
The committee in charge of the
forum consists of Mrs William Elm
stem. chairman; Mrs. Paul Forester,
secretary; Julia Arthur. William A.
Brady, Mrs. Maude Ballington Booth,
Senator Salvatore Gothic, Police Com
missioner Enright, Benjamin F. Feiner,
Mrs. Nelson Herrick Henry, Mrs
Oliver Hartman, Major A. F. Handi-
colt, Mrs. Walter Wayne Irwin, Sophie
Irene Loeb, Joseph Markus, Adolpn

The committee will also have the CO.
