Miss Charlotte Frazer
The speaker of the evening was
i. Miss Charlotte Frazer of New York,
national field secretary for Amer;-
caniZation, who brought splendid
message. She gave an interesting
description of her travels in other
states of the Union, dwelling upon
her visit to the home of George
, Washington in Maryland the atmos-
phere of which proclaimed the char
acter Of the Father of our Country"
it's first president.
Speaking of the work of the w. C.
7. Y. in this State and others, Miss
Frazer paid fine tribute to the ac-
cOmDlishments and the victory sum-
med up in the Nolstead Act and 18th
Amendment.
For 40 years, the w. c. T. u. has
been working along Amcricanization
lines. She spoke particularly of one
of the workers speaking eight differ
ent languages who worked persist
emily among the foreign element
coming to our shores most every day,
among cities where almost the whole
population are foreign with foreign
churches, stores and clubs.
Miss Frazer drew a fine comparison
of the customs and manners of the
foreign and American people, as we'll
as between the various states of our
own country. But the question was
Can we afford to have such a num-
Der of oforeigners in our states un-
Americanized?" What majority of
thehe different nations do we really
reach. Miss Frazer gave a descrip-
tion of the schools being held for the
work of teaching this vast multitude
in Americanization. In New York
there are 12 Of these schools Miss
Frazer claimed all these to be
Christ's children. GO ye and carry
the Gospel" He sent them to u.s..
What shall we 10 with them?
An appeal was made for more
workers in this particular line of en-
deavor. Miss Frazers address was
followed by enthusiastic applause, as
were the discourses given by the
other speakers Of the day.
