Miss Hart recommended the following
plan OF reorganization:
The only piece OF formal education

OF home teaching. Tho budget eetab-
lished for the fiscal year, beginning
May i, allowed ss.so0 for THE pur-

mer. l suggest that the State De-
partment OF Immigrant Education be
asked TO take over this balance and
carry on the home teaching expert
ment under its supervision, in the
hope that this. like other activities
being done by our bureau, may ulti-
mately become a public function.
Other activities which we have long
contemplated, but which have had TO
wait until the Trouble Bureau and
home classes were established. ought
10 be undertaken at once. One OF
these is the publication Of our own
text book for foreigners. Another Is
the study OF social problems which
seem 10 cause many OF the dificulties
brought TO the Trouble Bureau and
which should have been presented be-
fore the mischief was done. There t
a great future before the bureau, and
though we can look forward TO con-
tnued expansion at the same rapid
rate in the past, the work before ought
10 mean more 10 the foreign-born resi-
dents of the state with every pass

made possible what succes. we have
