In a treo institution for popular eu. ation, the Washington Irving High Behool, dedicated to the memory of one of America’s greatest prose writers, The Evening World in co-operation With the local school boards of New York City, closed last night another week of Americanization demonstra- tions, probably the most fertile week in the four months’ campaign.

Somebody suggested to the Commissioner that he should speak In Yiddish, “Speak in Yiddish! Why?
