A Task OF Education.
The great task OF the association

In the brief period Immediately fol-
lowing tho birth. In many cases
women who are convinced OF tho
need of such care can find &C. They
can procure the advice of physicians,
and In many OF tho larger cities
they viii find nursing organization
to keep thom constantly advised.
Many women, however. who ro-
alizc the need for proper care have
not the means OF procuring IT, This
involves the second phase OF tho
campaign OF education upon which
the association is cmbarking. It
must teach the mother Just what
steps she is TO take In order to make
tho arrival OF the now baby safe for

5,362 Oklahomans,
Foreigners, Haven't
Learned English

Special 20 The World.
wAsHtNGTON.-Of oklahoma's
3q.O2O foreign born white. $3.50 Or
1917 pcr cent have not learned 20
speak the English language, the
census bureau announces
The foreign-born white population
OF the United states 10 years OF age
and over on the census date. 13,407,-
$50, included 1,4SS,94S persons, or
II per cent OF the total, who were
reported unable to speak English.
Both the number and the per cent
are only about hair as large as in
1910. when 2,953,O11 foreign-b born
white persons 10 years Of age and
over, representing 22.S per cent Of
the total, were returned as unable
10 speak English. The great de-
crease during the decade is the re-
suit OF several causes. Many OF the
immigrants enumerated in 1910,
who were unable 20 speak English,
have since learned to do so. others
have died, and still others have re-
turned to their native countries.
The number Of English speak
ing Immigrants who came to the
United states during the decade was
much smaller than during the pre-
ceding decade, and the great ma
jOrity OF them arrived prior to Au-
gust I 1914, and therefore had time
to learn the language before the
census OF 1890 was taken.
The largest proportions unable to
speak English are found in Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona, more than
two-thirds OF whose foreign white
inhabitants were born In Mexico.
The percentage unable to speak
English in the foreign born white
population 10 years OF age and over
in these states were as follows
Texas, 5l.7: New Mexico. 49.4, and
Arizona. 51.9. In no other state
was the percentage as high as 20,
and in only two other states--West
Virginia and Florida. with 1873 per
cent, ana 1873 per cent respectively
was It higher than II.
The smallest percentage OF per-
sons unable to speak English in the
foreign-born white population ap-
pear for the following states and
