'ALITTLE CHILD TO
i FAD HE M IN
EVIDENCE IN SLUMS

4 New York, March 5.-The scriptural
oictum "a little child shall lead them"
Is being applied ten Thousand fold in
Americanization of New York's east
side immigrants.
It's practical demonstration was de-
scribed today by Harry II. Schlact,
mead of the commission on immigrant
ald at Ellis Island, who has conceived
unique plan to protect newcomers
from exploitation by their unscrupul-
Gus predecessors and radicals.
Through the downtown chamber Of
commerce. membership of which Is
limited to foreign-born merchants,
bankers and other business men who
nave gained wealth in this country.
Mr.. S0hlact has developed the idea
OF placing each immigrant family
fresh from the bewilderment Of official
red tape and the fantastic New York
skyline--in the custody of an Ameri-
can, or Americanized school girl. Ten
thousand of such girls are spending
their evenings and spare hours in
fusing their charges with American
ideas and the rudiments of the Eng
lish language.
Stimulated not only by innate in
terest in the quaint detected and Of
ten victimized and disillnsioned seekers
for new homes but also by rewards
from the chamber of commerce for
merltorfous results, these girls can be
seen every evening by dim lights
spelling out Cat, rat, and otheI
simple words to enraptured old pa
triarchs, scarcely aware that they
are transplanted in a strange lant
and yet not dissimilar country from
that whence they came at such Q
sacrifice
But before l tell you in detail ol
this Americanization work and 1t:
results interposed Mr.. Schlact, "let
me tell you something Of why they
are detected, disillusioned and why they
may easily fall prey to radicalism."
He then told of how me was aroused
TO uhe necessity Of this work by som'
poignant experiences he had goint
through Ellis Island disguised as al
immigrant, just to learn something o
the circumstances under which -thous
ands uproot themselves from thei
homes, sacrificing everything the!
own, in orde. to come to America
that magic land pictured to them II
rosy hues by exploiters more interested
in stuffing their pockets with gol'
than in humanitarian motives.
Understanding their own language
Mr.. Schlact mingled with the immi
grants throughout their trials at ad
mission and learned he said, tina
thousands had been induced to migrat
by members of an organization whicl
has swindled them of everything the,
owned before taking them on ship
| board.
Since he has been on the Islam
Mr. 'Schlact said he had investigate
these organizations. which he charac
terized as professional flim-flammer
and has caused the indictment of sev
eral individuals, some of whom hav
fled the country and the cases
some are still pending.
Numerous others, he said, who ha
luxurious offices in New York, hav
scampered away and disbanded opera
tons. He described their operation:
