Compulsory in Schools.

Henry J. Ryan, who succeeded Ar
thur Woods Ms national director of the
Americnnism commission of the Amer

program OF Americnnism activities
which Legion leaders believe will eff
fectively combat unti-American prnpa-

The plan includes II sympathetic re-

culation OF Bolshevist and /. w. w.

chance for education in citizenship
among the adult native born.
The Legion's campaign Will start
with the school, which is characterized
by Mr.. Ryan us the foundation of char
acter building. NO greater problem
challenges the American people than
the school," said Mr.. Ryan. sweeping
changes must be nude In our schools
or revolution and the destruction OF
America will be but matter Of time
The school system Of America. as con
stituted at present, is incapable of de
veloping the type of Intelligent citizen
ship which is the foundation OF a de
mocracy, and without which human lib
erty has no champion. The changes
which the American Legion advocates
are, first, that English shall be the con
trolling language In all schools. and,
- 81. . -. l.T
tory and civics shall be made compul-
sory to all school pupils. 10 accom-
pllsh these proposals the Legion will
petition congress to formulate reso-
luton recommending to state legisla-
lures the passage of statutes embody
