The report on Americanization of the Educational Committee of the Governor's Reconstruction Commis- sion, made public to-day, urges State etion along lines initiated two years ago by Thé Evening World and since carried on by this newspaper with the aid of public-spirited cl zens, The Reconstruction Commis- sion has adopted The Evening World dian in ite entirety as that which the State should take over as a public measure; The committee says: “To abolish illiteracy and spread a general knowl- english language is but first aid toward Americanization. To learn to think as Americans, to feel as Americans, to act as Americans, edge of the are the three objects to be jointly pursued, Faith in the possibilities of democracy must be built up. The American habit of accepting the ver- dict of the majority must be deeply ineuleated. The principle of learning by doing must be kept constantly in view, Law making must be practised in the narrower spheres in order that it may be ‘successfully carried out in the wider sphere. The foreign born citizen who enters the nativnal household must be regarded as a partner with the ngtive-born in building up the unfinifhed house of freedom.” The committee makes four recom- mendations: 1, As large appropriation as the finances of the State will permit, 2 A law vestablishing con- tinuation schools for boys and girls at work under eighteen years, with special attention to instruction in the English lan- guage and in American history. 3.

J., May 29.-—There are twice as many foreign-born per- sons within th> borders of the United States as there are within the bor- ders of all of, the other nations of the world, Talcott WiNiams, Pro- fessor of Journalism at Columbia University, declured in an address on “Americanization” before the annual meeting of the New Jersey Soclety of the Colonial Dames. Women from all sections of the State attended the meeting yesterday afternoon. “Our. first great duty is to Amert- canize the foreign-born,” said Dr. Williams. “They have been giving their lives for the same flag, dis- playing the same loyalty and patriot- ism as the American,” In Americanizing the foreign-v.rn, he declared, certain things must be allegiance, one tion, one equality in opportunity and one responsibility in keeping the peace of the world, He concluded with a touching tribute to insisted tongue, the colonial h.

PARIS, May 21.A renewal of the Frank Jay Gould divotce suit In the courts of New York, with a bitter contest over milliofis, and the report that both Mrs, Gould and her hus- band will marry the persons named in tWeir sensational differences have combined to give Paris the most in- teresting bit of excitement of the year. Ther is every indication that Mrs. i Gould's fight in New York, to be led by John B. Stanchfield, will prove one of the most interesting trials in the long divorce history of the town, ‘and the striking international issue will be raised as to tne right of Mrs. Gould, after being diverced by her husband under French law, to bring @ new action in her own country asserting her rights as an American citizen to a share of the Gould estate. Mrs, Gould talked to me about her case, afd even Charles Gerson Loeb, attorney for Mr. Gould, sald tha he could not ‘pass upgn the question of Mrs. Gould's right fo;'Sring, a suit America to set asidé thé French ve 4 Pa ‘Mrs. Gould did not.disfend her jus band’ suit,” - said the attorney. “The law here allows ninety days for her to do so before the Yeoree be- comes effective.
