Free Course in Americanization.

Announcements made by the American
lzation Department of the National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
of the opening of six weeks course for
practical workers in Americanization
The course is to be held at the Center
Chicago, at 1888 Blue Island avenue,
under the direction of Mrs. Culla j.
Nayhinger, Director of that Department.
1t is the object of this course in Ameri-
Canization to fit young women who have
the foundation of a good English educa-
ton to carry on the program of Americana
zation which has been outlined and in
stituted in the National Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union. This program
differs in some essentials from Americana
cation programs which are carried on in
other organizations, unique feature of
1t being the home teaching of foreign born
women in English and the rudiments of
civics. 1t is the purpose of this depart
ment of the w. G. r. L. to bring this
training to the woman who is unable to
leave her household duties to attend classes
in schools or other centers of Americana
cation effort, in order that she may be on
an equal footing in the way Of opportunity
with the children who are taught in the
public schools and the men of the house
hold who have the privilege of Americana
cation classes in the factory or shop.
An Amercanization center was opened
and carried on in New York something
over year ago. This center in Chicago
has been in operation now for several
months and has already established itself
in the life of the people Of the neighbor-
hood.
The course viii open March 18th 1t
is free and the invitation is general to
young women who can meet the require
ments of a good educational foundation
and desire to serve the foreign born under
the program of the w. c. r. u.
