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.
