The second annual commencement
OF the New Castle Americanization
School was held in the Opera House
last evening. Many of the town folk
and visitors from Wilmington and
vicinity enjoyed the original and self
constructed essays of the pupils.
Most of the essays spoke OF the love
and esteem Of the pupil for his and
her adopted country. Several
uniquely constructed essays showed
the results Of the work done by pupil
and teacher in this school.
John r. Lamborn addressed the
audience and pupils expressing the
high appreciation of the work ac-
complished by these schools, by the
citizens Of New Castle. His remarks
were augmented by his encouraging
words for a continuance OF the
school and the studious habits ac-
quired by the pupils
