Americaaization Work

Mrs. Blaine S. Viles. State regent,
states that there is an especially great
need this year for gifts to the three
schools endorsed by the national So
ciety, which train foreign-born lead
ers and teachers to work among their
own people--American International
College, Springfield, Mass: Schauffier
Missionary Training School, Cleveland,
Ohio, and the School of Practical Arts,
Old Concord, Pa. There is great
dearth Of trained teachers and workers
to carry on the work among the for
erign-born. Next after giving of per-
sonal friendship, every chapter should
consider it privilege to assist in
meeting this enormous need for train
ed workers. contributing the largest
amount possible to one or all of the
three endorsed schools. where foreign
born leaders knowing racial back
grounds are trained so that they com
bine with an easy approach to their
own people, a knowledge of American
history, ideals and traditions.
The American International College
is co-educational and offers compre-
hensive courses and advanced work.
Schauffler trains young women for
church and Sunday school work and
gives the pupils experience in work
ing among the foreign-born. The
School of Practical Arts lays special
emphasis on manual training.
A large chapter should give to each
of the three. but every chapter should
participate by giving some amount
from So up to one of the three. The
schools which are doing so much to
mould the American citizen of tomor-
row should not be failed. The vast
amount of Americanization work be-
ing done by the Daughters Of the
American Revolution appears to be one
of it's most worthy undertakings. The
money contributed should be sent
through the State treasurer to the
treasurer general.
