Americanization Committee, Vol 3. - THEDAILY College Station, Tuesday, December 2, 1919 AMERICANIZATION WORK IS TO BE CONTINUED New La.— Though the whicn established a number of schools un- der the auspices of the Federal Government, ended its existence at the beginning of October, the work it instituted will contnue. Every Americanization school established in the five parishes of Orleans, Tang- ipahoa, Jefferson, Livingston and Plaguemines—where are gathered most of the alien population of the State—will be continued, their op- eration having been assumed by the school boards of their respective dis- tricts, according to announcement by Wiliam Ritter of the educational de- partment of the New Orleans Asso- ciation of Commerce. Since the schools were established, Orleans, nearly two years ago, the enrollment, has been 900, and the attendance has been virtually 100 per cent, almost all adults or young men and women beyond the grammar school age, the grammar schools apparently caring for all the youngsters and their edu- cation in American ways. Approxi- mately half of the male about 300 in number, were influenc- ed to take out naturalization papers, and reports from Washington, ac- cording to Mr. Ritter, are that, through the work of all these schools in the United States, more than 150,- 000 aliens have made application to become citizens of the United States. Twenty-three different] nationalities were enrolled in the Americanization schools of Louisiana, and it was largely on petition from virtually all these aliens, or their parents, that it was decided to continue the schools as a part of the State’s educational system.
