a DUTY WE OWE.

On tho sixth page IL this issue we
present to III readers q circular let
ter issued by tho trustees Of Wal
halla School District, No. &c, to the
taxpayers and voters Of the dis
trict. We hope that this statement
will be read and carefully considered
by our people. 1t is a plain statement
Of unpleasant facts, and the situa-
ton is one that must be met prompt
ly, and settled rightly, II W are to
go forward in the matter Of educa-
,tion and educational facilities.
We may be inclined to look at the
amount of taxes to be paid, but that
is not really a part Of the question
at all. What we will lose If we fail
in our duty in the matter Is what
will count III the end. Let no one
seek to put up a few dollars against
the welfare Of the young in our com
munity. And really, if we will but
stop to think, there is absolutely nc
ground for complaint on the score
Of increased taxes. Not one in ten Of
us but who can deny himself some
needless luxury for the year and out
Of the saving have something left
after paying the tax.
We had intended commenting al
some length OH the matter, but con
ditions in our Office during the week
have prevented. And we doubt If 4
would be Of value to the cause an,
way. We merely ask that each one
read what the trustees have to say
consider 1t from the standpoint o
the young In IL midst, and then &C
as conscience dictates. There will b,
no need for All appeal for signature
to the petition for an election-n'
need to worry as to the result O
the election.
We simply cannot afford to neg
lect II school. We must go for
ward; a step backward would lea'
toward irreparable damage.
Simply sign the petition for al
election, then vote for the additional
tax.

FOOD SHORTAGE THREATENS.

Farmers / urged to plant a lar

of the great shortage Of the wheat
crop, just revealed in reports from

eral distinguished blouses of the fine
handkerchief linen sort so fashion
able this spring. One blouse may be
hemstitched in ladder effect down the
front. Another may have tucks and
lines Of hemstitching in alienation

horizontal tucks. The neck may be
finished with a fiat collar, tucked or
hemstitched, or with three tiny, over
tapping frills of lace. Or with an EN-.

advanced be grouped according to their knowledge
Of the language.
1t was emphasized that these opportunities were
to be purely voluntary. No one was compelled to
learn against his will.
Then, when sufficient progress had been made
in mastering English, it would be possible to take
out citizenship papers and TO become a real part
of the country Of their adoption.
AT > O'Clock, if any one had told Luigi and Cas-
mir that before they reached home ut night they
would not only understand but speak, five SEN
fences of English, they wouldn't have believed it.
But that is precisely what occurred-and all in
the short space of twenty minutes.
Fred Rindge, Jr., an industrial service worker,
brought TO pass this seeming miracle. Grouping
fifty Of the men before him, Mr.. Rindge named
five simple words-see, find, awake, look, arise.
Pronouncing each word distinctly a number Of
times, he asked his hearers to repeat them after
him. When this had been done to his s~atisfac-
ton, all was in readiness for the first lesson.
Getting up in the morning" said he, yawning
and stretching his arms. Now altogether re-
peat after me. II (pointing to himself) t. t.
No awake awake awake awake Now,
from Sleep" and so on, until within twenty
minutes the entire class said fuently and with
perfect understanding:
81 awake from sleep. l open my eyes. l look
for my watch. l see what time it is. 1t is six
O'clock"
Deep down in the heart of Luigi, a new respect
for the company which employed him, a new
sense of responsibility, and q new ambition took
root before long. He felt that he had been given
an opportunity. He was not going to spend his
best years as a stranger in n strange land, strug-
Cling with an unfamiliar tongue, unrecognized,
a mere cog in the wheel of industry. Soon he
would speak English readily. He would under
stand all that was going on in the shop. He
would work hard, would buy a little house, would
give up the idea of boarding his money and some
day taking steerage passage to Italy. He would
give Maria all sorts Of comforts, would teach
her, English, too. A new day had dawned In the
life of Luigi.
AS for Casimir, 1t had seemed to him that he
was no farther along than when he had first
came, years ago, from Poland. He had made
no effort to learn English, for the simple reason
that nobody cared whether he did or not. Now he
had changed his mind. His employers were max
ing an effort to understand him very well, he
would make an effort to understand his employers.
There was no question but that if he understood
and could talk English, he would get along bet
ter.
Luigi and Casimir are typical Of the men In
whose behalf the company has launched this
Americanization campaign, which is being watched
by Industrial managers the country over. A can
yass of the alien workers was made In the Sche-
nectady plant, disclosing the fact that there are
1000 Italians, 600 Poles. and five hundred Of
other nationalities. all aliens. OF the Italians

3JI DO not read or write their own language, and
cannot speak English, &c. read and write Italian,
but have no similar knowledge Of English. The
remainder can speak, write and read both Italian
and English.
OF the Geo Poles, 10 neither read or write the
Polish language and have no knowledge of Eng
lish and pa are wholly unfamiliar with Eng
lish.
The campaign undertaken by the company has
given an impetus TO AmericaniZatiOn work in
the city proper and all industries and Organiza-
tons have expressed hearty interest and sup
port. L. f.. Fink, superintendent of night schools,
is perfecting an arrangement whereby classes in
English may be held in the homes of the foreign
born. The foreigner is naturally inclined to be
sociable and hospitable and it is thought that il
he may invite his friends and n%eighbors to study
English and citizenship at his own freside there
will be more pleasure and less effort in the new
task.
A. L.. Hahn. the Americanization secretary OF
the company, has had years of successful expert
ence. Mr.. Hahn's office is in building Al, and his
duties are not only, to make 100 per cent Ameri-
cans of the foreign-born employees, but to assist
them in the problems that they may bring to his
attention, from matters Of personal hygiene to
the sending of money TO relatives in Europe.
The company hopes that this campaign, which
is so unique in many respects, will soon grow
from an experimental stage into Il permanent
and successful work. Incidentally it is supple
menting it's shop work in the plant by an inten-
sive advertising campaign in the foreignIanguage
newspapers, showing the foreigners OF the city
the many opportunities they have to learn Eng
Iish and become real American citizens.

MUST Be ORIENTAL
PRESENT. Day Dress Accessories
Almost Barbaric.
Beads, Earrings and Oddiy-Adorned
Hats Are Among Styles Offered
by Paris.

There is a splendor almost barbaric
In present-day accessories of dress,
notes a Paris fashion writer. Although
production in Europe is not more than
10 per cent of normal, there appears to
be 10 curtailment in purely decorative
things. Along with the far eastern
ideas that just now are embodied in
clothes comes the use Of bright colors.
Oriental girdles of brilliantly color
ed galalith or of beads are worn over
sweaters, gowns, coats and even negli-
gees. There are huge earrings, set
with colored stones. No less a person
than Lewis Of Paris, makes hats with
chains and earrings hanging from be-
meath the brim, the chains going
across from one side of the brim to
the other like rows of necklaces.
One hat goes so far rs to have a
Spanish comb thrust into the side for
trimming. This is a tiny hat, with
an uprolling brim in front and cut
very short i'm the back. 1t is overhung
with a draped veil, the folds of the
drapery being fastened with the comb.
Wells, too, are draped under the
chin, after the n of the strings
Of beads mentioned above. These
oddly adorned hats act as foils for
the new smooth couture that shows
the hair drawn tightly back, without
curl or wave Of any sort, and the ends
rolled under and pinned high at the
back Of the head, a striking mode of
dressing the hair, but a trying n for
many women.
