In the First
Red Cross House

The original Red Cross house at
Hampstead, Nassau County, Long Isl
and, established in 1914, is still on the
map. Moreover, it is continuing its
activities at top speed and, in addition,
has undertaken the work of sending
clothing to the refugees of France and
Belgium, according to an announcement
made yesterday by the Hampstead Gar
den City branch of the Red Cross, which
conducts the famous house
1t is situated on Fulton Road, old
fashioned, surrounded by grounds full
of quaint old trees, and a mecca to the
men of the camps near by, according to
the men themselves.
One section of the grounds has been
cleared by the soldiers to erect a pavil-
ion for dancing. Rest rooms occupy the
entire first floor, with the exception of
the dining room, where the patriotic
women of Hampstead and vicinity oper-
ate a canteen day and night, and an ex-

A petition for citizenship was granted
to John Manos, Greek, of Seattle. on
the promise that he would take care of
his two children so his wife could 90
to night school, Jeremiah Ncterer was
the judge Of the United States District
Court who granted Manos's petition.
Magarlta Spalding Gerry tells the
story for the Department of Labor:
"Manos, after twelve years residence
in this country, applied for his second
naturalization papers. Otherwise ac-
ccptable, he was denied citizenship be-
cause he had not brought his wife to
this country.
"Manos was so eager for citizenship
that he returned to Greece for the sole
purpose of bringing his wife to the
United States.
"When Mrs Manos was questioned
She explained that she could not speak
English because the care of her two
American-born babies prevented her
from attending night school. The judge
then cXactcd a promise from Manos
that he would stay at home and take
care of the children on school nights
so his wife could go to school.
The fact that, by law, the wife be-
comes automatically naturaized with
her husbands admission to citizenship
has proved q great stumbling block.
"Thc Bureau Of Naturalization,
through it's examiner, has for years con-
tended that the wife of the petitioner
should appear in court with her husband
when his petition is heard and should
be required to take the oath of alleg-
ancc with him. This practice is gain
ing ground (notably in Oregon, Ala

n Governor Smith on military
training as it now exists for boys
of sixteen, seventeen and eighteen years,
recommends that, instead of the one and
one-half hours of technical military
training now provided a week in an
armory under the Military Training
Commission, the state should provide,
through its Department of Education,
'health instruction and all round physi-
cal development and that
continuation schools be established for
boys and girls who are at work, up to
the eighteenth year.

be supplied" the report continues,

a democratic attitude toward their fell

Boys should be sent to these camps

back in the fall of 1914, nearly five
years ago, few in America saw the need
of Red Cross work The war had not
touched America. We were still three
thousand miles away, with no prospect
Of coming nearer, but the women who
were the pioneers in the work heard the
call of suffering and knew the need of
the house. Time proved their vision
and humanity. The officers and execu-
tive committee have remained the same
throughout the four years.
Last week the house sent its third
shipment Of refugee clothing abroad
since the signing of the armistice. This
allotment consisted of IA 900 pounds Of
clothing. AS long as there is need the
refugees will be cared for.
First aid and surgical dressings classes
are a part of the activities at Hemp
stead rest and recreation rooms for the
soldiers with a library and reading
rooms, standing canteen and a motor
bus for the convenience of the men who
arrive at the house without knowing the
way to their future destinations or who
need transportation.
The actual packing, knitting, assem-
bling and cutting department for Red
Cross sewers is large room on
the second floor.
constant entertaining OF the men and
the arrangement of dances are also a
part of the work. During the influenza

Why Shouldn't Girls
Be Citizens, Too?

These recommendations are heartily
approved by Mr.. J. J. Pettyjohn, direc-
tor of Educational Extension of the
Bureau of Education of the Department
of the Interior, and he commends Gov
ernor Smiths proposed legislation trans
ferring the duties of the Military Train
ing Commission to the Department of
Education in this state.
But" said Mr.. Pettyjohn in Wash
ington yesterday, 'camps for physical
training and citizenship are necessary
for girls, too. The movement in this
country to furnish outdoor life that will
be an inspiration for better American
citizenship is growing. These camps
give boys a social point of view, a sense
of civic responsibility that will extend
to state and national affairs. There
should be camps to extend such advan-
tages to girls, too"
AS practical basis for the establish
ment Of citizenship camps for girls the
organization Of Girl Scouts is able to
furnish material. Mrs. Josephine Daskam
Bacon, who has for several years been
connected with the Girl Scout movement
in America, believes in the universal es-
tablishment of camps for girls.
Camps to teach citizenship and give
physical training are just as necessary
for girls as for boys" said Mrs. Bacon;
call classes Of girls need the outdoor life
and the training. The daughters of the
wealthy families like the camp life and
need some of the things it offers, just
as much as the girls from poor districts.
The needs of one group of girls may not
be those of another group, but all can
find work to do that will make them hap
pier and more useful citizens. The
camps supply something that the home
and the church and the school have
failed to give.
81 believe that the state should recog-
nize the benefits that can be derived from
the training camps for girls. But the
camps should be recreational and should
provide the things that the girls them
selves want

daughter a member of the Scouts is a

The Mother

"In both cases most careful super
vision will be needed to prevent physical
or moral contagion. 1t is therefore ad-
visable that groups should be small The
total number IN a given area may be
considerable, but they should be divided
on the cottage plan. The number Of
young people should be dependent on
the opportunities of the ground space.
"The Girl Scout of to-day IS the
Deeter Rippin, of the Girl Scouts. "She
is more than the woman Of tomorrow
she is the mother of tomorrow.

give them to her as part of the routine
of home life. In the scout work we have
been able to get young girlSt to do house
work, dishwashing and the drudgery that
every woman should learn, and without
a whimper from the girls. We try to
supply every activity which they desire
and give them the training to make them
selves efficient. When you can make
girls do dishwashing, you can teach them
anything they ought to learn and not
make them unhappy"
Mrs. Bacon says that tie effect of
camp life among the foreign-born girls
and the girls of foreign-born parents is
to make the girls go back to their homes
and establish little Amercanization cen
tres. They learn the ways and customs
of American life and teach the younger
children how to live as American citizens.
Professor Felix Adler, chairman of
the Committee on Education of the New
York State Reconstruction Commission,
said yesterday at the offices of the COM
mission that the three objects Of citizen
ship training are physical development,
discipline and democratic habit of mind
and that girls as well as boys ought to
have the benefit of this training.
eve have been one-sided in thinking
of citizenship training for boys only"
said Professor Adler. Il have recon-
mended a plan with the following OBJ
jects in view: Out door lite, setting
up exercises, hikes, pitching camp and
orderly provision for sanitation of camp.
These all make for physical upbuilding.
"After this confidence must be estab-
lished in leaders, respect and Difference
must be built up and these should be
followed, not preceded, by implicit
obedience. This makes for discipline.
Living together with all sorts and
conditions in good fellowship is the next
step and makes the democratic habit Of

necessary to young girls as to young
boys.

Domestic Service a
Wartime Non-essential

During the war the employment SER
vice did not consider domestic service
one of the essentials and consequently
did not begin placing it in that line until
late in November.
There is always demand for house
hold servants. Since the armistice was
signed the demand has increased, and
SO many women are out of work that
the employment service branches are at
tempting to remedy the situation bv
placing the jobless women in household
work
In the few cases where women re-
leased from Jobs held during the war
were forced from actual need to enter
domestic service, they have stipulated
that they must have jobs in another
line as soon as possible. Even the
women who were servants before the
war do not want to resume their old
jobs. They may take such places tempo
rarily but are on the lookout for some
thing in the industrial world
A larger number of women workers
were released from munition factories
and other war jobs in and near New
York than any place else in the country,
4he war workers almost as body re-
fused to take domestic service. To
a solve the problem confronting house
wives the Young Womens Christian
Association established brief courses in
housekeeping that would be in the
nature of trade test, to give the girls
who enrolled an idea of whether they
wanted to follow the work and also fur
MIS- a means of grading their efficiency
in order that wage scale could be estb-
lishad.
The Board of Education in New York
has approved a similar course to be
given in night schools
