ton of medals by the D. A. R. for perfect attendance at the -senins schools. It has often been cla,mcd, and probably it is q correct estimate, that people from foreign shores are likely to appreciate the possibilities of education more than the free 10 a greater extent than the natives: probably this is true because they require il to greater extent. The need for mastering a new language in a strange land is q prob lem facing all newcomers: and the way they go about il shows they realize the importance ot getting ahead in the quickest possible man ner.
 Thus ve find that Motl.,r and her J4-year-oIl daughter were among those who gained perfect attendance medals. The mother, who came here from Austria, has eight children. the oldest being the girl who attended night school with her, and the youngest being only l3 months ot ago. Tho family lives at Rockwell avenue, and after q. lively days effort with tho young family the mother, regardless of weather con- dltions, came to evening school with her oldest daughter and not missing tt single session. That IS a splendid achievement; and in due tune il means splendid citizenship.
 Another notable Illustration of eve ming school stick-to-i'-tivenoss was given by | husband and his wife. lIc came from Germany in 1926: the wife last August, The need to learn English in hurry Was paramount; and they were anxious 10 learn quite a bit beside the English, These also received D. A. R, medals which for the remainder Of their lives they can treasure as symbolic of the sacrifices they made to become high grade American citizons.
 The evening schools are such amazing successes because they fill necessity. They are the eity's best
 instruments Of Americanization. The service given is free tor all those spurrod on by the lure of ambition.
