PETERSBURG, Fla., Déc, 15. —Visitors who went to tho art school exhibition today found statues garbed in middy blouses and bloom- ers. Recently the Christian Civic league censored the mude art at the school, and today several busts stus- pended from the ceiling by a i\berativa, that school, is to have charge of the men’s class here and Miss May Hamilton will teach the women's class, Sessions will be held twice .a week. “*The co-opera- tion of all Cas; People is sought in making the cl 8 successful, in jn- teresting the foreigners in taking the instructions, and particularly in induc- i the foreign women to attend lasses. Congress will soon make it im- naturaliza-~ tion examinations: as well as men, it was pointed out, and the foreign home remains foreign as long as the mother is foreign In her ideals. Mr. Emmerich declared that in the last century 34,000,000 of aliens have come to America, and 15,000,000 of aliens not naturalized are in this coun- try now, America fofmerly had the idea that all. foreign-born péople who vame {0 this country could be assimilated. That merely by living in America they would absorb American. ideals. During the war, however, it was suddenly discovered that the fire under the melting pot had gone out, That the pot was barely simmering, and that there ‘were vast numbers of aliens in this country who were absolutely un- American in their idea?) and ideals. The fire under the melting pot must be relighted, he declared and true Americans must see that it is kept burning. Mr. Emmerich described the old nat- uralization plan which prevailed prior to 1906 when it was possible for un- just prior to election and then vote them. By the law of 1906 the names of all men desiring to be naturalized must be posted in a court house ninetydays before they are examined by the court as to their qualifications for citizen- ship, and no alien can be naturalized for thirty. days prior to en election. The bureau of naturalization t« now linked up. with the pubilc schools, and ‘state after state has authorized the opening of citizenship schools. As the result of these schools, for- elgners have learned in a few months’ time the things they need_to know qbout tha ‘American — government. Judges all over Wyoming have taken tho stand that no. person ghall be naturalized who does not, understand the constitution and the fundamental points of American history, Mr, Emmerich urged the breaking | down of the wall of prejudice against the foreigner which has resulted in “Little Italles” and “Little Austrias’ in our cities. It is the duty of the American to do away with the feéling of superiority he maintains which has its result in sus- picion on the part of the foreigner. Wonderful results in.the American- zation of foreign-born résidents have been secured in Utah, where attend- ence at citizenship schools’ is compul- sory. A similar measure to that passed by Utah was vetoed in Wyoming by Gov. Carey as unconstitutional, The measure now coming up will, eliminate the compulsory attendance features, Mr. Emmerich mentioned’ that suc- cessful classes are now being conduct- ed at Rock Springs, Laramie,. Hanna, Gebo, Crosby and will be started in Sheridan and at the coal mines near Sheridan. There are $00 unneturalized foreign: ers employed in the railroad shops at Cheyenne, which shoula justify the opening of a school there.
