PROUD OF CITIZENSHIP.
Naturalization inspires Praise Of

To the Editor Of The Star.

brought along with 1t great happi-
ness TO me and my family. In appre-
citation Of what the Americanization
School, 7th and o streets northwest
(at Columbia Junior High 'Schoo)
has done for me feel as though it is
incumbent upon me to extend a word
Of praise to the principal of that
school, Miss Maude E. Alton, and her
teaching stan.
The work of an Americanization
teacher is indeed commendable. as 1t
:mparts to the foreIgn-born subject
the wonderful opportunities offered
to those who become Americani3ed.
Every foreigner who comes here and
knows little or nothing about our
Constitution should be made to un-
derstand that this Americanization
School willingly extends assistance
and gives valuable instruction with
reference to our plan of government
and the qualifications necessary for
the making of an ideal citizen.
Through experience / have learned
that these instructions have a tend
ency of making better American citi-
zens out of aliens.
am giving this expression of my
views because I think that 1t was
greatly through the untiring efforts
Of Miss Alton and her teaching staff
that my Americanization has been
made possible.

mentally incompetent men and wo-
men marrying was advocated here
in statement Saturday afternoon
by George II. Curtis. Judge OF Jack
son county's prooate and juvenile
courts.
Such a law. he said. would stop
the increase OF detectives among
married persons and would result in
the release Of many inmates from
the state institutions at Iapeer and
other places. Many of these could
make good il birth control was as
sured, the Judge asserted.
lie said that the home for the
feeble minded at Lapeer had a wait
ing list Of about 500 and it required
from, one 20 two years 20 get a per
son entered there after commitment.
There is no denying that many
criminals today are more or less
mentally defective. and 10 what ex-
tent. they are irresponsible 1t is
a great pity something cannot be
done to prevent them from adding
TO the perversion Of the race"
Curtis declared Jackson had many
defective children. and added condi-
tions undoubtedly would grow worse
until remedied by birth control lcgis-
lation.
