Old Bartlett school Il class of aS is being taught, mostly Poles. with one or two Assyrlans and Armcnians About Ia como faithfully here, The subjects are spoken and written English. very simple geography and clvics. patriotism, American games and reading, Through the clubs generosity VIC arc able 10 have an assistant here, who cares for the children. We earnestly hope to open a large class in the conscstcd Smal- Icy district in the fall. You must remember that woman in the old countries is the child-heartr merely and it Is a new idea 10 most of the husbands to have their wives go to school. When they understand that the women can vote hero q littlo later they arc eager 10 send them.
 'I have been asked 0 state quite frankly how the club can help in the future of this great work. These l believe arc tho ways:
 "l, By somcday helping to r. nance a thorough survey of our for cign population This has never been done and would take time, pa tienco and money,
 70, By understanding first of all that from their quiet unoNcntiuI lives across the sea they plunge here into the maclstrom ot our compli' catod mode of living, and so thcir problems become legion as soon az Ithey land
 "3, By urging q change in oul present immigration laws so as tc permit old world families of mcl now resident here to join their hus bands without reference to quoti and regardless of citizenship status As the law now reads, q man can not become citizen until his fam lily is all here, while the family | mot allowed to come here until th
 husband is q citizen. You s""' man knowing he must have his Citl zen papers before ho can bring m family here tries to get these paper
 and is refused. because his tamii
 is still in the old country. Do 70 see how ridiculous this is' Tn
 only way out of his dilemma IS 10 him 10 leave this country for whic
 he has sacrificed so much, and r.
 turn to his family In Europe. Thl
