Educational Right Defined

at Is not disputed that the matter
Of education Is distinctly a'funetion Of
the states. Citizenship, however, Is a
matter Of Federal concern. and the Con-
stitution gives 10 Congress the right
10 determine under what conditions a
foreigner may become naturalized. The
Federal government, therefore, is the
Logical agency through which prepara-
tion for citizenship should be super
vised. and the bureau Of naturalization
should be authorized TO provide the IA
eilltles by which candidates may be
able 10 meet high standards fixed to
elevate the dignity Of citizenship. A
citizenry united in language, under
standing and spirit and Rmbition Is
necessary 70 the high Ideals to which
America was dedicated by our fore
fathers. This can only be accomplished
under competent Federal direction.
There arc certain standards required
Of those applying for naturalization.
will not say that these standards are
too low, though when we consider the
great privilege we confer when grant
ing citizenship they are none too high.
II the present standards we're strictly
required. our difficulties so far as
they arise from foreign born citizens,
would be pretty we'll eliminated. The
problem Of eradieating the false doc
trlnes Of radiealism in America would
bo no nearer solution II we made eiti-
zens Of every alien forthwith the so
luton lies in enlightening the foreign
born, alien and citizen, IN the privi-
leges and duties, rights and responsible
tiles which attach 10 citizenship and
the nature and methods Of government,
Of a republic, with emphasis upon the
natural changes which may be brought
about through evolution By means Of
the ballot"

quested. First, II will prevent the

would give us a record Of the indi-
viduel made up az his own home, upon
which our program Of Americanization
and education could be intellIgently
based. Better immigrants should be
tho watchword. for II means better
citizens and better institutions"
Setting forth the problem Of the
alien already admitted to the Uni'ed
States, Secretary Davis declared tina,
systematic and automatic means OF
bringing tho alien into contact with
the government in a friendly spirit
Of cooperation should be devised.
Respect Due Government
"The alien" Secretary Davis said,
\"should be acquainted with the solicit
Nude Of the government as 70 his indi-
vIdual welfare. and the government
mSst know the alien. In order that
theEe may be a thorough survey Of the
felA 70 be covered and a perfect under

alien should be required to enroll for

shouldNandertake 70 give.

the front in seven Of the ten rounds.
Elkins didn't seem to get started well.
except in the first round when he fair
ly smothered Travers. In the fifth.
after he had been fioored. he carried
the fight at terrific clip to Mickey.
Elkins showed good also in the sixth,
but after that fought almost entire

Although hockey is new game TO
the people of Augusta it is taxing
well with them and there Is no DOUBT
that the sport will have large fol-
lowing as soon as they realize that
some of the fastest teams In the
State are coming to this city ana
that We have a team which can
make them go the limit.
This team which Is made up OF men
who have played the game in Can
ada, where it has a much greater
hold than in this country, and they
all have a thorough knowledge Of
the fine points of the game.
Captain Percy Jarvis, the center Is
fast and clean and played the game
as a boy in Fredericton, \. B. lie is
skilled as a player and also has that
necessary quality which will cause
the rest Of the team to follow him
anywhere. He it was who started
the movement for team and he has
worked hard to make it a success.
1t is fitting therefore that he was
elected to the post of captain pre-
vious to the Colby game, last Satur-
day.
A. MacGillvray. the right wing, has
a good experience in the game, hav-
ing played in Cape Breton as boy
and as young man he was a MEM
Der of the intermediate team of the
Eastern Canadian Hockey League for
the Star Trophy. This trophy is the
equivalent of the worlds champion
ship in hockey. lie is one of the
mainstays Of the Augusta team and
his loss would be great handicap
to the team.
IT. ]. Williams. the left wing, Is
also former Canadian player hay
ing played in Toronto. He is a
player that is always breaking up
the offensive of the other side and is
also a good offensive player.
r. Hanes, the left defense, is an
other good man in the defensive
work. lie has played in Portland
and is also a New Hampshire State
football star. His addition to the
team made a great difference which
was noticeable in the Colby game.
IT. Ryan. the right defense, has
played in the Calais-St. Stephen in
ter-city league and his stick work is
exceptionally good. battling the OPP
posing players. lie takes the puck
through places that seem impossible.
X. Jarvis. the goal tender, played
the first game of the season at left

defense. going to his present posi-
ton, with the addition of Haines. He
is a cool player and covers the goal
in a fine manner. He also learned to
play in Fredericton.
n. Weston the substitute, is an
Augusta man and learned the game
with the old Percy Hill outfit. He is
a good man and is certain to be of
great help in case Of accident to one
Of the regulars.
This team is backed by all of the
members of the Augusta Hockey
League in spirit and by Dan Nash,
Frank Condor, George Clarke, Frs
kline Noyes and Clinton Thompson
with real hard work. These men who
are leading in the work of keeping
team of this sort going deserve the
support of the citizens of Augusta
and as has already been said, when
the people of this city find that we
have real team, they will help.
Thompson has been elected man.
ager and he is working on a sched-
ule which will prove worth all the
effort that the men of this organiza-
ton have done.
Tonight this team will play the
Association st. Dominique team of
Lewiston and this will be a fast,
clean game. The st. Dominique team
is composed of former Canadian
players and they knew the game
from start to finish. They were re-
Gently defeated by a score of one to
nothing in a fast exciting game with
the Bowdoin team which is conced-
ed to be the fastest college team in
the State. After the fine showing
which the local boys made against
Colby last Saturday and with the
practice which they have put in
since, there is no doubt that the
Lewiston. boys will have to extend
themselves to the utmost if they win
tonight.
Augusta is also fortunate in an
other respect in having competent
referee, Edward Duffy has played the
game in Canada as n member of the
Eastern Canada League on Victoria
club. This league was the Star
Trophy League. which, as has al
ready been said. is the equivalent of
the Worlds Championship for
hockey. Duffy will act as referee in
the home games. His work shows
he can handle the men and see that
the game is played as it should be
and that the rules are lived up to.
