D. A. r. Principles


schools have been given substan-
tial help in money, equipment and
donation of clothing. Especially is
this true among the momiaineers
of the South.
We might also mention our very
substantial donations of twenty
thousand dollars in one year to d
PHILIPPINE scholarship fund.
In few instances small schools
have been established and main
tanned principally for vocational
training
When our foreigners land at
Ellis and Angel Island they are
given the glad hand of friendship
by the ID, A. r. and by them are
given help and furnished with mat
erialS for pleasant employment
during their stay there. Materials
for sewing knitting and fancy
work in attractive work bags axe
furnished for the women and suit
able material for willing away
the otherwise lonely hours to the
men,thus at once creating kindly
feeling in the hearts of the immi-
grants. More than this is the work
of the Americanization that begins
at once. Each immigrant is fur
nished with a manual printed il
his or her own language from
which he learns Of the opportun-
tiles offered in the various part;
of our country. These little man
uals also explain fully the meaning
Of citizenship in America, its bene-
fits, the protection which our gov
ernment gives to its citizens, and
what is expected of the citizen III
return for what he receives. In
fact through these manuals and
teachers furnished by the d. A. IL.
society he comes to realize that as
soon as he becomes naturalizcd his
a part of this government which he
must respect and support.
But our Americanization does
not end at the gateway. In many
localities Americanization teachers
are supported, night schools are
carried on, mothers classes are
organized and supported. lnnum-
cradle organizations forl
t he foreigner are establish
cd. Much efficient and effective
work in this line has been done
through the preparing and print
ing of patriotic leetures which are
being sent out with slides. These
Lectures and slides are available
for use in colleges, schools and var
ious organizations for the spread |
ing of patriotic teachings. Hun !
dreds of thousands OF dollars each
year are spent in the purchase and
distribution of American flags, cop
les of the. Constitution of the III
S. A. and other valuable material
to be used in this work. The mark +
ing of historical spots, and the
of monuments to historic
has played a great part
in d. A. r. work rs a factor in the
preservation of history, hence of
educational value.
The society is active, too along
al lines Of thrift, and conservation
as the preservation and replantingl
Of our forests, encouraging the pro-
lection of birds and the study Of
wild life.
Much more than time and space
will permit might be said of the
work of the organization but the
of this paper is to show
of the breadth and !,
of what is beng accom-
plished through he efforts of this
