O’Brien, regarding the activities conducted and the progress accomplished during the first year of the work under that committee. But even such a condensed statement serves as an indication that much work must have heen done to secure these results. The total benefit from such a program is cumulative in much the same way as the good work done hurches or other soc organi- ations; and it does not lend itsc exact measurement any more o than do other moral and educational forces, but its importance is not a matter of doubt any longer. Instruction. In conjunction with the hoard of education, 37 evening classes were organized, in three different school centers. There were also afternoon classes for mothers, and one class of mothers met evenings at the Russian church. No factory classes were or- sanized, although the committee was not unwilling to conduct classes at the factories. During the year 1201 persons were enrolled in the cl organized. This is 223 per cent of the number for the preceding year, when 537 were en- Tolled. Three-fourths of these classes were composed of persons studying the elements of the language and the simple facts of Americanism. Of th men and women, 68 per cent were more than 20 years of age; 77 per cent of them had never been in evening school before; and about fifty per cent had received little or no schooling anywhere, even in their own native lands. The attendance averaged 66 per cent for all the schools. The year's enrollment contained an especially augmented number of Pol- ish, Russian, Ukrainian and Lithuan- jan people. Social Work., Fellowship, play, recreation and a varied experience ‘have been regard- ed as indispensible in training for democratic team work. Accordingly the social sessions of the evening classes, on one evening of each week, were meant to help provide for just such vital need, but more especially for the middle aged and younger members of the group. Games, mu- sic, pictures, talks, dances and even varied refreshments helped to make the evenings seem attractive ‘and at the same time helped to ‘socialize those who were participants. Many of the special American hol- idays were appropriately observed by extra features and programs. Citizenship. Naturalization has frequently proved to be an int e, expansive and discouraging proce The indif- ference of the native born operates to depreciate its value for the candi- date, and often to invite a certain alienation of interest in its possession, as well as satisfaction with a mini- mum of preparation and final com- petence for citizenship. Hundreds of applicants have been provided with information and as- sistance pertaining to naturalization. Several citizenship classes have been maintained to furnish free instruction for all those interested. The naturalization court is now dignified by being housed in the at- tractive chamber of the city council, and freed frem its former gestions that were too easily attached to *the police and jail building. Periodic public receptions for the new citizens have heen instituted, both to elevate the experience for (hem to make us all a little more cons of our civic responsibilities.
