FREE; III EDUCATION
FOR FOREIGNERS
CITIZENSHIP CLASS WILL BE
STARTED HERE EARLY
IN THE YEAR.
GOVERNMENT WANTS TO HELP
ALL APPLICANTS FOR
CITIZENSHIP.
While Thomas S. Grifing, United
States naturalization examiner from
st. Paul was in New Ulm, recently, to
examine @ nc the applicants for citizenship

at the December term of the Brown
county district court, he called at the
Reuie1o Office and solicited our CO.
operation in interesting sufficient
number of declarants and petitioners
for naturalization in New Ulm and
vicinity in securing free education as
regards our language and our form Of
government, ETC., to warrant the or
ganization Of a special class in citizen
ship. We readily assured Mr.. Griffing
of our sincere desire to cooperate in
this matter, believing it to be to the
best interest Of our foreign born citi-
zens, who are not conversant with our
language and have no funda mental
knowledge Of our form Of government,
and we earnestly urge one and all Of
them to take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity, which is given them free by
the government and the New Ulm.
school district.
To Start Class Soon.
The attention Of applicants for citi-
zenship, who have either decalred their
intention or petitioned for final papers,
is especially called to the fact that
Superintendent Arnold Gloor OF the
New Ulm public schools, in co-opera-
tion with the U. S. Bureau Of Naturali-
zation, will organize class in citizen
ship for the adulG foreign-born Of New
Ulm and vicinity, shortly after the
first of January. This will afford an
opportunity to the prospective appli-
cams for citizenship to easily acquire
a sufficient knowledge of the funda
mental principles Of our government,
and better knowledge Of our language,
where that is needed, whereby they
may become naturaized upon their
appearance in district court and with
out being continued from term to
term to learn necessary facts in con-.
nection with our government. This.
instruction is not only necessary to,
the prospective applicants, who are
not informed in these matters, but also
for their wives, who, under the law,
become naturalized at the same time.
Free Instruction and Textbooks.
The government is concerned in this
matter to the extent Of helping, through
the cooperation of the public school
authorities, all applicants for citizen
ship who need such instru uction. Free.
textbooks are furnished, as we'll, as,
other printed matter for the use of the
school in the conduct Of these classes.
This textbook becomes the property
Of the applicants who join the class.
By taking this instruction, which is
provided them free Of all charges, the
applicants will find that, instead Of the.
naturalization hearing being somewhat
Of an ordeal to them, it will be a very
easy matter and will afford them great
satsifact to be able to answer the
questions promptly and accurately in
court. All foreign born adults re-
siding in New Ulnn, who are in need Of,
instruction along these lines, or who
feel that they would like to become
better informed, whether applicants
for citizenship or not, should avail.
themselves Of this splendid opportunity
to secure this knowledge and informa-
tion without cost to them.
