1T is no wonder the Jews consider
| this God blessed country as heaven
and the people of this country as
angels of heaven. Those that have
| not suffered as we did cannot ap-
preciate the greatness of this coun-
try as we do. Here the same laws
are made for all the people. They
do not make different for the people
| who came from other countries.
Here We have the same opportunity
| as the rest of the people, and this
Is the reason why we love this coun-
try so much, and we are ready to
give our life for 1t, as life without
freedom Is not worth while.
The education in the United
States is very axended (extended).
There is no reason for the people
not to be educated, because educa-
ton is absolutely free. Here the
education is not only a privilege, 1t
Is duty, because every citizen owes
1t to his community to equip him
self to render the best citizenship
possible. In most of the States there
are laws witch require every child to
attend school until a certain age
CASUALLY IA, Is or 16), and parents
are held responsible for the attend
ance of their children. In the United
States are many public schools.
There are some private schools scat
tered all over the country. There
are many colleges which are self
supporting. or supported from pri-
vate funds. There are schools for
the blind supported by: the State.
There are thousands of libraries 70,
the free use of the citizen; and that's
why there is no reason for the poor
people of this country not to be edu-
Gated, because all the schools are
free for education, and IL anybody
cannot attend the day school there
are night schools free of charge. IT.
is different in the old country, where
I came from. There the people when
they want to be educated they must
pay for everything, and the poor
people, who have no money to pay
for study are not educated all of
their lives. =
Il am very happy that I am in
this free land, and hope Ito be a
true American citizen all. of my
life. :,

And here is a little piece of jap
anese history furnished by a pupil
named r. Kosuma. 1t Is somewhat
reminiscent Of Hashimura Togo, but
then -Konuma has not long sojourned
on our shores:
Il will tell you one of our hero's
short story.
About three hundred fifty years
ago there lived in Japan a great
hero whose name was H. ToyotomL
He was born in a little village in
Nakamura near Nagaya.. He was
the first son Of poor peasants. But

when in his early life. In those days
the country was at war nearly all
the time. A great deal therefore he

OF his officers and he was very very
often in danger of histlife. but. no
man could lead an army better than
he. Always he made a good success
in every battle. A long time after
finally he made himself master of
the realm (but it Is not king in nv

U. s A., And he governed well all |
over the country. Then by that time |
his majesty gave him the highest |
