bad FIRE AT La FARCE

in the mill, supposed to have been
caused by short circuit in the cleo
trio wiring. The Seeleyburg mill is
one of the old landmarks of LaFarge

Schooling the Foreigners.

EORElGN colonies i'm the United States are
i still crowded with iterates aliens who
know, little or nothing of the American language
and customs. How to work them over into citizens
OF value to the nation and teach them to improve
their own conditions is a problem which has been
much improved by the new laws restricting i'm
migration; but there is much to be done in their
behalf, and the problem is far from being perma-
nenty solved.
Without knowledge of our language the alien
is held fast within the colony of his fellow ma
tionas, shut off from the currents of life involving
his very welfare and isolated from the trend of
American ideals Nearly all are eager. for learn
ing. 1t is Americas business to simplify their
burdens. The elementary evening school in which
the foreigner is taught English is the foremost
agency by which he is gradually being Americanized
Men and women we'll children attend
these classes, which are crowded that many
are turned away. In some OF these classes there
are upward of fifty pupils. Individual instruction
is impossible The personal element is indis-
pensable to adequate work of Americanization and
the quality and character of teachers is one of the
vital factors with which leaders in the work are
confronted. In many schools more than half the
teaching force consists of young people, inexpe-
rienced teachers.
"The situation, so far as I can see. is getting
in report to the National Liberal Immigration
League. More teachers resignng, and no
applying for the positions"
The difficulty to be the rate Of pay.
Low salaries do not attract Teachers of foreign
languages in the evening high schools receive
$3.50 per night session. in the elementary schools
teachers of English to foreigners receive $500 a
session. The two tasks vary little as to expendi-
ture OF time and energy. The teacher of
language to the foreigner has the added response
bility of Americanzation. Another principal wrote:
Il feel certain that salary OF S. night
would attract to evening elementary schools
full quota OF experienced teachers. There arc
some 100000 OF foreign born in the United
States, of whom 100000 are in New York City
Exact figures to the of English are not
