These tests merely convince us that four-vvheel

Zoo STUDY IN
Home CLASSES
Value of Americanization
Work Shown by State
Committee
NEED MORE MONEY
TO CARRY ON WORK

Work OF the home classes was
strongly emphasized at a meeting of
the Delaware Americanization Com
mittee. held yesterday afternoon in
the Public Library Building. Eighth
and Market streets.
Miss Marguerite II. Burnett. who
has general charge of the Ameri-
canization work OF the State Board
of Education. reported that 206
mothers were enrolled in~~the home
study classes at present. compared
with only 12O'at this time last year,
showing the constantly increasing
interest which foreign-born women
are taking in the opportunity offered
TO attain an education and American
citizenship.
Miss Burnett also stressed the
great need for these classes, and the
interest which is shown in them as
one of the outstanding reasons for
the request made by the Department
OF Immigrant Education for an in
creased appropriation by the Legis-
lature for the ensuing two years
I'm the face of such appreciation
as is displayed by the mothers of
future citizens" said Miss Burnett,
It would be a little short OF a trag-
edy II the opportunity of an Ameri-
can education were to be denied
them"
Miss Burnett cited the words OF
some OF the mothers themselves as
the best proof of what a home class
means. The mother of three chill
dren told her story as follows:
MY teacher opens my eyes. I
like America because she gives free
schools for children and the same
for mother. / love my teacher.
She opens my eyes to speak, read
and write correctly"
A Polish mother wrote that
school is the best thing in Amer
ica," adding:
Il like school the best thing in
America. like education. like
house school. l learn TO speak and
read and write English. l can un-
derstand now a little of the language
of my husband and children in
America"
still another Polish mother said
that she likes the home school be-
cause it is the only way in which she
had to learn. The story Of her hopes
for her home and children, as she
herself expressed il. was:
Il am Polish born and the mother
Of four children. aged one, three.
five and seven years. 1. want TO
speak, read, and write the American
language and keep the respect of my
children and TO be a good mother
in America. cannot go TO night
school because my children are too
little TO be left alone in the house.
Therefore. I speak for the home
school because II Is the only way l
have to learn the American Ian
guaEe. and II am to be a good cit
izen and to make good home In
America for my husband and chill
dren, I must learn the American AN
guage and make American friends"
How much the mothers realize
what America nization means 10
them and that these classes should
be continued. was shown by the fol-
lowing letter from one of them who
hopes to do what she can to help:
Dear Sir-The home class help
ing me much. l want to keep on
please. l have school one time a
week. I want you please don't stop
me school. II you stop me the
school. It will kill me my life. l
cannot learn"

WASHINGTON. Feb. Is Omitted
Prees) The Senate will approve the
British debt settlement today.
With only a few votes in prospect
against, the bill probably will pass
without material amendment and

carly next week. This will enable
HIM to wind up details of the settle
ment under which the British gov
ernment will repay s4,60O.o0o,OOO
loaned it by the United States dur
ing the war.
Funding of the debt on the terms
proposed means that the United
States will be pledged to secure the
territorial integrity of the vast
British Empire for the next sixty
two years. Senator La Toilette, Wis
consin, declared today. in a speech
to the Senate. opposing ratification
of the settlement.
He urged the Senate to reject the
settlement and refer the whole mat
ter back to the debt commission.
