Hampton. Va--The fifth annual
preachers institute, which was recent
ly held for four days at Belts Acad-
emy Trenton, 5 O., Of which Alfred
W Nicholson i president. brought
together an average daily attendance
of nearly two hundred rural preach
ers, seventy-dve colored teachers. and
many friends Of rural teachers and
preachers About one hundred and
sixty preachers lived on the Belts
Academy grounds and were excel
lently cared for BY friends living in
the community Throughout the in
stitute there prevailed a spirit Of
Christian service.

Christian thought and work IN simple
speech and with the love Of God and
men in their hearts.
Better Teamwork
The recent institute was the best vi
the series. The preachers attended the
meetings more promptly and regu-
larIy They asked a greater number
of worthwhile questions concerning
TIE work which they had been doing
and the work which the visiting teach
ers believed should be done. They
expressed more frankly their ideas Of
what could be done To improve inter-
racial cooperation and good feeling
between white people and colored
people. They came IN large numbers
for the. opening meeting and they re-

meeting. They looked more prosper

company Of Chicago and the designer

Scouts of AmericA)
HELP MAKE NEW CITIZENS

An effective piece Of Americaniza-
ton work Is being quietly but actively
carried on all year through by the
Boy Scouts Of America for the bureau
OF naturalization of the United States
Department of Labor.
In the fall Of 1919 the aid of the
Boy Scouts Of America was sought to
provide the personal, friendly touch
necessary to winning the confidence Of
the foreign-born who wish to become
citizens, and to bring them into pub
lie school classes Of instruction for
preparation for citizenship. The bu-
reau Of naturalization regularly issues
cards Of invitation urging applicants
Tor naturalization to attend such
classes, and the plan was to have
these cards distributed personally by
boy scouts.
Commissioner Of Naturalization
Raymond F. Crist states that during
the last fiscal year 11e,475 such cards
were sent to All cities for distribution,
bringing the total number so distrib-
uted to approximately 100000.
The Detroit Americanization com
mittee in reporting on 1922, their big
gest year, says:
The personal delivery Of invitations
to attend schools, delivered to the
adult allen at his home by the boy
scouts, must have been one Of the big
factors In filling our immigrant edu-
cation classes last year"
The commissioner of naturalization,
In commenting upon this year
through practical civic good turn by
scouts, states:
While the most important service
to Americanization which the boy
scouts have performed is doubtless
that Of getting in touch with appli-
cants for citizenship, their activities
have included many other good turns
to this cause. Among these may be
mentioned taking part in public cere-
monies held to present new citizens
with their certificates of naturaliza-
ton, acting as ushers and otherwise
participating In graduation exercises
OF citizenship classes, and IL Ameri-
canization rallies and mass meetings.
1.-THE cumulative effect Of these
varied activities has been to keep be-
fore the public, our native as well as
our foreign-born residents, the press
ing need of amalgamating tthe many
races within our shores into one
homogeneous people. In other words,
the boy scouts help In maintaining this
melting pot for the adult foreign
born Just as they form and maintain
the all-American melting pot among
the youth Of America"
