characterization
1--WE have lately come to call by the
general name characterization" the
necessary process of training imm!-
grants to knowledge and appreciation
Of American ideals. This program
should not be approached in any sp rlt
Of prejudice against those residents
among US who are foreign born. All Of
us except the American Indian are
either foreign born or descendants from
foreign ancestors. A mans fitness for
citizenship depends not upon the place
Of his birth but upon the spirit ana
ideals which rule his life. It is our duty
to develop the American spirit in those
who come to us from other lands and
especially to teach it to their children
in the public schools through the me-
dunn of the English language rather
than any other language. AS public
officials, you ought to become familiar
with the various laws passed by the
present Legislature for the purpose of
carrying out this program.

Local Health Officers

DR.. l.. d. Bristol, State commits
sioner of'health. was the third speak
er at the evening session and ex-
planned the matter of full time and
part time health officers for cities and
towns in Maine. He explained that
towns in Maine which are willing to
employ full-time health officer, suit
ably qualified for the position, will
receive State aid up to $500. At the
present time there are three places
in Maine eligible for this aid-Port-
land and Bath, and the town Of York,
each employing .full-time health
officer. In the town Of York with its
population of $500 this is something
of a unique situation, the people there
paying about 81 per capita for health
work.
The towns which wish to employ a
part-time health officer may do 50.
but they are not eligible for the State
aid.
Chapter 172 of the public laws Of
1919 relative to the employment o.
local health officers, was explained ir
full by the health commissioner dur
ing his address.

WHEAT NEAR 81 MARK
FIRST TIME IN z YEARS
Drop of As Cents During Week
Puts Price in Chicago
Mt S212

CHICAGO. Aug. For the first
time in more than two years, wheat
futures on the Chicago Board of
Trade were near the 50 mark today,
A drop of 10 cents in December
wheat yesterday brought the total
drop for the week to As Gems, and put
the price at s2.12. March wheat fol-
lowed the December closely. the flnal
bid being S2.13.
Tho drop in wheat was the feature
of the week on the Board OF Trade
but there was little sensational In its
accomplishment. There were no buy.
crs, and sellers simply lowered the
prices at which they would part with
the crop.
Corn and oats dropped In sympathy
with wheat, but to lesser extent
For the week the losses in corn were:
July, 20 cents; September, IT; De-
cember, II.
July oats dropped OF cents; Sep
TENDER and December, 7. each.
The drop in provisions was not so
noticeable,
