ROBBERS CARRIED
OFF SMALL SAFE
Amount of Loot Taken at Randolph
Railroad Station May Have
Been $1,000 or
More.

Randolph, June 1.-THE authorities
and railroad officials are investigating
a bold robbery which took place
at the Randolph railroad station
early yesterday. morning when two
robbers escaped with small safe Of
the railway express company and the
money in the drawer of the station Of
fee, the total loot being estimated be.
tween $500 and 81 900. Some estimates
place, the amount stolen as even higher
than the latch figure.
The details of the robbery have not
been cleared up satisfactorily, but one
story has il that the two robbers en-
tered the station after the arrival of
the north bound train and while one
of them engaged the attention of the
two men in the station about some
supposed baggage the other made a
hasty canvass of the situation, rifing
the cash drawer and then picking up
the express safe and carrying it off.
This safe is a receptacle not much
more than foot high and of equally
small width, so that il could be car
ried off without much trouble.
As yet the officers have fAund no
trace of the robbers. The station as
the time of the robbery was in charge
Of the operator, who is a comparative
ly newcomer, having arrived from Can
ada a few weeks ago.

teachers tried to impress you with the
fact that America is finished prod
uct; it is only in the making. II re-
mains not only for those of us who
were born here and who have had a
long line of ancestry, to help build up
the government, and who have fought
its battles and shed their blood for its
life, to make the country; but it is also
for those who come here to make their
homes to do their part. II Is also for
those people who come to our shores
seeking home, who live under differ
ent customs, and who speak a different
language to equally aid in the great
task of building America.
ut is dor this purpose that Ameri.
canization committees try to teach
the immigrant and to lfelp him become
a. full, loyal and patriotic American. II
cannot be done by force. 1t must be
done by cooperation. The children of
their fQreignborn we are tutoring with
the rest of the American children in
our schools according to the rules and
regulations of carefully prescribed
curriculum. The harder task is to reach
the adults, those who are beyond the
school age and who have lived most
of their lives in country whose hab-
its, customs and tongues are quite un-
like ours. These people are equally nee
essary for the life and growth OF
America, and it is for this reason we
must devise some plan through which
to meet them half way
We cannot afford to let them dig
themselves into some large city where
they will become lost in some foreign
colony where they find no use for the
learning of our language and OF our
ways. In order to impress them with
the fact that America needs them, we
must arrange to meet them half way,
and endeavor to educate them to our
way of speaking and living because it
Is more feasible than for us to acc!i
mate ourselves to their many various
customs and speeches.
To this end the Americanization So !
,ieties are endeavoring through every
means possible to teach thus class the
English language as the first step to- |
ward common ground of understand /
ng. Our former way of teaching the |
anguage has become so incompetent |
hat it is now obsolete. Under the new
method the language is TO be taught in
ogical order. First will come the way |
o speak ii, then to read it and last |
# all the way to write it,"
In closing Mr. Brooks turned for a .
ew words especially to the graduating
lass. He pointed out that all life is a
box not a grab bag, and
e urged the members to go out into
he world with this view in mind. As
much as YOU put into a thing that will
ou get out

Lyman c. Hunt, who added
