An Americanization Plan

of them had a fair amount of education in the country that they
came from, and seem ignorant merely because they do not know
English. A lot of our people would seem just as stupid If turned
loose in a foreign land. When such folks are treated as if they were
thick-headed dolts, they do not get a good impression of American
' it.
5P” The first thing to be done for such people, is, of course, to teach
them English. That is an exceedingly difficult proposntion for .many.
Those who had little education at home find it extremely difficult
to learn from the printed page. They could have done so, If they
had begun as children, but to take up a lesson book when they have
not been in a school of any kind for many years, is a hard proposmon.
Attendance at evening school or an English class for a term or
so amounts to little for such people. If they lived in a foreign colony
and talk a foreign language all the time, their slight knowledge of
English slips away from them. They ought to be urged toiake Amer-
ican newspapers and make some effort each day to acquire the new
language. . . '
They can be shown that their chances of a successful life m this
country are greatly improved if they can stick to it until they can
really read and speak English easily. Most of these immigrants are
good workers, and if they can get the language they stand an excel-
lent chance to make good in their new surroundings.

Moral Training In Schools
Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard university,
recently published in Current History an article in which he deplored
the lack of adequate moral training in the public schools. Many
observers of modern life feel that a great lack exists at this point.
Opinions differ as to whether there has been a decline in moral
standards during recent years. But the. great prevalence of crime,
the easy way in which a multitude of people violate their marriage
vows, the existence of widespread dishonesty, indicate that young
people need better moral training.
It does not accomplish much to fill school pupils’ heads with all
kinds of information and literary culture, if they go out into the
world with the conviction that crooked conduct is all right “if you
can get away with it." The world may not be growing any worse,
but it has always been in need of reformation from the days of Adam.
Yet if you attempt to introduce any new line of training n
the public schools, teachers and superintendents throw up their hands
in despair. They say that their courses are already so filled with
subjects that the pupils are doing superficial work. .
Yet moral prneiple is the most basic element in citizenship. It
would be better to throw out some study altogether, or out down the
time required by others, if necessary to introduce some substantiak
training in the matter of moral obligation. '
No school is doing its full duty today unless it gives its pupils
an idea of the obligations that rest upon every American citizen.
An observance of the ordinary principles of morality is the first of
these obligations. If pupils do not leave school with the idea that
honesty, truth, justice, loyalty and sympathy are qualities that they
admire and desire to imitate, their education is fundamentally de-
fcctive.

Strive ever to retain
Your golden-Med illusions,
Don't let their glamour wane;
Though life be harsh and drastic
Don't let their glamour wane:
Stay blithe. enthusiastic.
But—keep your fingers creased:
Don't let your trust grow dim in
The well-known human race,
Believe in men and women
As creatures full of grace:
Don't be a dour dyspeptic
Who thinks the world's a frost,
Refuse to be a skeptic,
But—keep your fingers crossed:
Thus when grim fate denies you
The dreams you may have had.
It will not much surprise you
And you won't feel so bad:
Through every cataclysm
By which you may be tossed,
Retain your optimism
But—keep your fingers crossed!
