70 TO Be EXAMINED

Fifteen of the seventy citiZenS-ln-tne

Mccoy Of the District Supreme Court

to their qualifications for citizenship
are students in the Americanization
School. On an average, one-third OF the
petitioners who appear before this court
at each hearing are from the American

Here is where the citizenship class of

The AmericaniZation School has
about 1900 pupils, and while 1t is
directly under control of the Wash.
ington board of education, small
. appropriation is made by Congress
for it's maintenance, not sufficient,
however, to maintain teaching stan
of more than one principal and two
teachers on full time. Fifteen teach
ers work on a part-time basis.
Thirty Nations Represented.
Thirty nations are represented by
the students of the Americanization
School, Italy having the largest num-
ber. The Hebrews come second, with
Greece third. The other nations are:
France, Belgium, Norway, Russia.
Poland. Lithuania. Sweden. Switzer-
land, Denmark, Czechoslovakia. Ser
bia, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal, Ar
menia, Syria, Finland. Cuba, Mexico,
Salvador, Argentina, Guatemala, Ru-
mania, Scotland, Ireland and Wales:
Many of the students are men well
advanced in years whose families re-
main in the homeland. Once the
father has passed through the Amer
icanization School, however, 1T is but
a short time before the family is
brought to this country. The school
records show that 800 families have
thus been reunited.

ARMY OFFICER AROUSED
OVER BARRING OF GIRL
Lieut.. Latham Threatens to Resign
From Army Unless French Wife's
Sister Is Admitted.

bars to admit his young sister in

terday by Lieut.. John n. Latham, U: 5.
A., who lives at the Chastleton
apartment.
Lieut.. Latham has spent the past
two weeks in New York and WASH

young sister-in-law, Helen Ormieres
Of Remiremont, France, to enter this
country on a visit to his wife, who
before their marriage. was Mile.

He told Theodore W. Risley. So
licitor for the Labor Department,
that he is entirely sdisgusted with
the infexible immigration laws of the
United States, and that unless the
girl Is paroled to her sister or to
himself he intends. to resign from the
Army.
Miss Ormieres landed in New York.
he says. January 9, and was taken to
Ellis Island. to go through what he
1neny. Instead. Lieut.. Latham says.
she has been subjected to the same
treatment accorded an ordinary i'm
migrant, which, he claims, Is too
rough for girl of gentle training,
and has been kept at Ellis Island
since that time. Efforts to have the
girl let into the United States with
out bond have failed, and. ASA last
resort, yesterday Lieut.. Latham appeal
ed to the French embassy for aid.
Labor Department officials claim he
has but to put up $500 bond for the
girl to insure that she will not be-
come a public charge. This is neces-
sary under the law, they claim. Lieut.
Latham says it is also lawful to
parole the girl either to himself or to
her sister, his wife, and he says that
unless this is done he will resign from
the Army and go to France.
The mother of the girl died at Re-
miremont November 10. and the father
sent the girl to her sister in this
country, believing that she could OBJ
tain better care with her sister than
with her father. The girl Is but If
teen years Of age, and bond will be
required only until she is sixteen years
Of age. when she may be admitted
without bond or parole.
