Foreigners Object of Program Undertaken by Superintendent Wilder thru Co-operation with Naturalization Agent Americanization and citizenship classes have been organized in Casper to be conducted under the supervision of George Wilder, su- tendent of the city schools, who has volunteered to teach the :diments of citizenship to resident foreigners.

These classes are active in New Mexico, Colorado, iing, Utah and Idaho, which s are under the naturalization ion of Paul Armstrong, chief alization examiner, of Denver. erick C. Emmerich of Denver, aturalization examiner, is in for a few days arranging for ri the opening of the schools. M Emmerich firmly believes that eigners who have presented pe- titions for citizenship and who have made declarations of intention to be- e American citizens, filed with clerk of the district court, plainly tes the increase of the foreign nent in Casper. These foreigners ould be Americanized and taken in- t ii body politic. These classes being established in other Wyo- g towns and are meeting with ndid success. The foreigners are y grasping the opportunity to 1] the English language, the prin- ciples of government, and are rapid- y becoming 100 per cent Ameri- cans. It is the duty of all patriotic ncies to’ see that the classes are blished as a permanent part of the public school system and that all foreigners be induced to attend,” Mr. Emmerich stated yesterday. “The necessary funds for the paying of a tizen instructor, who will take the ses three or four nights a week, should be appropriated from the pub- lic funds of Casper, with a view of making the.aliens in Casper citizens, 100 per cent loyal and true, in two |years’ time. When the school is on a permanent footing, prominent local speakers will be able to do good serv- ice by delivering patriotic addresses to the students of the Americaniza- tion classes,” The bureau of naturalization, on May 9, 1918, was given the authority \thru an act passed by congress, t¢ i co-operate with the public school: |thruout the states in this important jwork.

This contact is act- ual, personal, and immediate. It em- |braces in the neighborhood of a.mil- jlion new foreigners each year. The public schools haye responded most patriotically to the appeal of this bureau, as shown by the pledges re- schools of approximately 2,000 cities \ceived from the superintendent of and towns and small communities for carrying on this work of citizenship instruction. . ae | Lon M.
