A military atmosphere pervaded igh school last cvening when plass of 1918 observed its class xercises. The young women spea Brs wore the similar garh of a Red fross murse, while the male speakers bl wore the olive drab uniform that Histinguishes the Amcrican boys on the Western I'ront. As the exercises egan, a bugler sounded reveille and he military idea was further carried Bout by the stage arrangements. The hcenery was so fixed as to represent p camp, the effect being made the more*striking by red footlights and a feverly arranged cjymp fire scene. As the curtain was raised the assembled [gpeakers, seated on the stage, sang the famous army marching song, | “Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag.” i Addre;s o; Welcome ‘ the the night a | | \ N !

Par- ents, teachers and friends, you have been with us during the four years of our High school course at all times either in spirit or in person, and it is therefore not only desirous but ab- solutely essential that you be with us this evening to take part in our class night exercises, and we feel that you have honored us with your presence. “Parents, we take this occasion to acknowledge a deep debt of gratitude to you. Starting us in our High schdol career when the dark cloud of war hovered over the countrics of Europe, alone, yet have not ceased in your efforts to provide us with the best things in education, furnished in our High school and now as that cloud of war has descended upon us, we grad- | uate, to go forth into the world, first | war“class of the New Britain High school.

Many happy and bene- ficial hours we have spent under your direction during our Iligh school days, and it is with regret that we lay aside our books to take our place among the alumni of the New Brit- ain High school. Although we leave with regret, we have naught to fear for the welfare of the school. It has been a pleasurc for us to ‘rub elbows’ during the four years of our course, with what we do not fear to term, three of the best groups of underclassmen that our school has ever had the pleasure of gathering together. We leave then with a firm conviction that our suc- cessors will keep up the spirit and Institutions of our school. “Underclassmen, strenuous days are ahead for you. Many may be yoyr trials and difficulties before you are numbered among the alumni of the school. It is then, with great expectations, and with great hopes that we entrust to you the duty of upholding the standards of the New Britain High school. *“Tonight the Class of 4 part.

Tt is really a rebuke to the vast number in the count who do not realize the nobleness and sacredness of this ac- tion and who do not help the govern- ment in its aim rather than attempt- ing to hinder its war preparations. It is this problem within the country., and a see { which demands our greatest attention. “We are still stunned by the realiza- tion that we are not in a position to rapple intelligently, instantly and de- cisively with situations in our own We have marveled at the revelations that our native born sons and daughters, of foreign horn parents could justify the sinking of the Lusi- tania and invasion of Belgium. We have seen societics and political groups stampede the country pro- claiming the justice of the encmy’s ERNBEST MUECKE. barbarous actions of this seditious eliminated but as yel we have not reached the root of the evil. The question to be asked is, Why are Yhey not loyal Americans? “The very term, Americanization, implies the idea of some process and @ process always presupposes some condition and some need. If a pro- cess is required to create a mnational idea, then it is evident that the ordinary conceptions of patriotism must be lacking in the irrelated groups of peoples dwelling here. “Patriotism says that idea man’s country gives him a thrill, tha he loves its soil, its sights, and its sounds; it forever speaks to him; it Deckons him back; it holds him, and Iie will under the spell of patriotism die for his country, knowing that his death the honorable of all Liuman aets of ity and sacrifice. Patriotism literature of its own; we need into it, but with the world known qualities of it in mind we can solemnly ask ourselves these uesions: Why does America speak o message to the heart of the for- eigner? Why does it fail to enlist his fidelity over and his fidelity to another land? does he look to his own little group for all that makes his soul life, treating the American scene around him with con- tempt and susp n? Why doubt, as at present, To be sure, action has most been is host nob has not go ahove Why are we left to whether in war he would fight for us or not? “In quest for nationalism, we stand aghast at the task before us. About one-seventh of our population is for- eign born; and about one-third of foreizn born mixed parentage. It is small assimilative task to serve the best in traditions, belief standards and points of view of these people for the strengthening of Am ica, and to give them enough of America’s ideals to make them strong citizens of a democratic country. The war is giving us the opportunity to find out and. define a policy which will insure patriotism. “In the absence of any constructive policy ot clear national purpose, lit- tle can he predicted for the future. It is known, however, that every govern- ment but ours has a national purpose which it is carrying out in America with its subjects, naturalized or alien through its agents, its publications, institutions and commercial interests, America alone in its own territory has a negative procedure and is with- out a policy. We are concerned chief- 1y with those we can keep out or send back. Once an alien is admitted. there is no system of protection, tion, and assimilation, no encourage- ment to acquire a homestate in Amer- ica. Sectional and specific interests compete for what the immigrant has to oifer; the parent government keeps an eye on the new arrival and helps him in distress. The federal govern- ment alone remains silent. “From his very arrival the immi- grant is left to his own resources.

We have since learned of our gross neglect of the foreigner’s cducation. The war has taught us that if our foreign citizens are to un- derstand our principles and standards they must be educated. “Phe policy of Syracuse, N.

The native American hinks of the immigrant tenant as an human being, used to some- different, and almost un- consciously brings the American stand- vd down to his own conception of the immigrant’s capacities. Tt is generalty stated that the immigrant lowers the standards of living but in the final analysis it is America that lowers the immigrant’s own standard of lving. It is the American who owns his house, and who fails to provide sani- tary conditions, chie because it not vield him large enough income. Improper working conditions and wages are forced upon the forcigner by an American boss. The average American housewife does not 1ink of the immigrant and her future when she needs a servant but wonders what nationality will suit her best. The average American officer regards the immigrant as a troublemaker but how many cities compile laws intelligently in o language the immigrant can read, so that he may not become a law-breaker. Is the foreigner responsible for thesc condi- tions which are forced upon him, or is it the fault of the indifferent money- sceker. the native American? “The army and navy of this country have always been the great meltng pot of the nation.

The program includes also a prominent speaker on American prohlems. “This plan is lheing successfully worked out in Pawiucket, R. I., where they have built a Civic Theater for this purpose and it is a decided suc- cess according to President Faunce of Brown University, who said, “We have positively proved that there is common meeting ground in our American life for all classes and all creeds and all nationalitics. Another thing that is beautifully obvious in connection with work is that it has opened up a common sense, vital avenue, whereby many of our truly sincere and capable men and women find a natural opportunity to express the deep desires of their hearts to help their less favored citizens, both by contribution and through their de- re to be present and share the friendship of those in whose midst they sit during the evening. It has already broken down the barriers, such as exist in too many communi- tles, between the native born Ameri- can and the so-called foreigner. our “It is not impossible for any city to accomplish the same result Pawtuck- et has, but it means the co-operation of all men and women. Tt means personal sacrifice in order that others may be uplifted from their able positions in life. The problem of socializing the alien can be met only by the combined influences of men and women who are not merely { interested. but who are willing to al- leviate actual conditions. This work cannot be accomplished by legisla- tion, but in the hands of the native Amevrican lies the great problem of winning the immigrant for American. “When the native American real- ics this situation and meets it fairly and honestly then will America begin to thrive.
