PLAN TO FIGHT PROPAGANDA
viii Urge Congress to Make English
Language and American History
Compulsory in Schools.

Henry j. Ryan, who succeeded Ar
thur Woods as national director of the
AmeriCanisn commission of the Amer
lean Legion has announced 4 definite
program of Americnnism activities
which Legion leaders believe will eff
fectiyely combat anti-American propa-
ganda at its sources.
The plan includes a sympathetic re-
cepdon to the immigrant and Il method
of providing him with opportunities TO
school himself in American ideas iu-
provement Of immigration and natural
ization laws; measures 70 stop the err
culation of BolshevIst and |. w. w.
propaganda, and providing Il greater
chance for education III citizenship
among the adult native born
The Legion's campaign will start
with the school which is characterized
by Mr.. Ryan as the foundation of char
acter building. mo greater problem

changes must be made in our schools

America will be but matter Of time.
The school system of America, as con
stituted at present, is incapable of de-
veloping the type Of Intelligent citizen
ship which is the foundation of a de-
taOcracy, and without which human lib
erty has no champion. The changes
which the American Legion advocates
are, first, that English shall be the con
trolling language in all schools, and.
second, that the study Of American his
tory and civics shall be made compul-
sorry to all school pupils. TO accom-
plish these proposals the Legion viii
petition congress to formulate reso-
luton recommending TO state legisla-

He could even hear the leaves whisk-

man can discern this he can hear the
cushions of a mountain lion on a trail
at night. OF course Dan Failing had
never heard a mountain lion. Except
on the railroad tracks between, he
had never really been away from
cities in his life
At once his thought went back to
the doctors words They were stll
repeating themselves over and over
in his ears, and the doctors face was

Dan Failing stepped out of the ele-
vator and was at once absorbed in
the crowd that ever surged IN and
down Broad street. He was Just one
of the ordinary drops of water, not
an interesting, elaborate, physical and
chemical combination to be studied
on the slide of microscope. He
wore fairly passable clothes, neither
rich nor shabby. He was tall man,
but gave no impression of strength
because of the exceeding spareness of
his frame. AS long as he remained
in the crowd, he wasn't important
enough to be studied. But soon he
turned off. through the park, and
straightway found himself alone.

more aware of them than of the beat

quests, he explains. because the
companies have definite rulings that
