Americanization Body Asks
State for $19,0l5 at
Once
S37,75O FOR WORK
AFTER JULY /

As result OF the adoption OF the
new budget system of state expen-
ditures. the Americanization Com
mittee OF Delaware, which main
talns schools for aliens and instructs
foreign born women in their homes
in the essentials OF citizenship, has
/ found itself without funds to cover
the period dating from January
/ last to June 80 next.
To meet this hiatus In apprOpria-
| tlons, the Americanization Commit
/ tee at meeting yesterday after
Assembly for an emergency appro-
priation Of $19.015.
The heaviest work of the Amerl-
cani2ation schools falls between the
first Of the year and end Of June,
when the summer vacation inter
Venes until sessions are resumed in
October These schools are Oper-
ated under the direction of the
state Board of Education in cooper
alton with the Americanization com
mittee. which is composed of citizens
Interested in the work.
The sum Of $S775O has been ask
ed for ana included in the state
budget. This amount, however. If
granted. will not become available
until July l next. he beginning Of
the States fiscal year II Is empha-
sized that the work Of Americana
ing foreign born women in their
homes has become a serious duty.
These women now have to prepare
for separate citizenship, Thus the
necessity has arisen of extending the
courses of instruction throughout
the rural community, whsre there
are hundreds OF women who need to
be taught English and the prin-
cmles of good government.
In 1921-22. tAcre were fifty-three
classes in twenty-three centers in
ten school districts that had 1883
two hour sessions and forty-foar
home ana neighbOrhoOd classes in
-four school districts In twenty-eight
school centers that had 99l one
hour sessions. In the new appro-
priation an effort will be made TO
take care of sixty classes In twenty
tAknN hhhhA NfHAFIS IN fourteen
districts ana fifty home and night
schools, This is regarded as nor
NAL expansion.
