TEACH ENGLISH
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. —By Mail>
—The Americanization of immigrant
women will be a large factor in the
work of the national committee of one
hundred, appointed upon request by
the United States commissioner of
education, Dr. Philander P. Claxton.
Under the emergency of war the
"American First*’ campaign of the
committee has become intensive, and
great efforts are being made to teach
English and patriotism to the 3,000,- j
000 non-English-speaking people of i
the United States. English teaching)
will be carried on in homes, factories!
and training camps, as well as in
, schools.
j Mrs. Frank H. Bliss of Buffalo, assis
tant to the chairman of the executive
, committee, H. H. Wheaton, chief of
the division of Immigrant Education of
the United States Bureau of Educa
tion, has taken up her activities at the
national headquarters of the commit
tee, 812 Washington Loan and Trust
building, Washington, D. C. Mrs. Bliss
has for twenty years been identified
with the civic work of New York
state. She was one of the prime mov
ers in the establishment of a state
trades school for girls initiated by
Sorosis, New York City, the first wo
man’s club in the country. She is a
member of the National Civic Federa
tion, and a member of the board of
directors of its Erie County branch.
She has also been a member of the
board of managers of the woman’s re
formatory at Albion, N. Y., for the
past nine years and has spoken from
coast to coast on Americanization of
our foreign element.
Urge Use of English.
In response to requests from all
over the country the committee is
[daily sending out advice and instruc
■ lion in methods of teaching English
| and patriotism and is urging co-opera-j
: tion of all agencies, official and pri-i
vate, which deal directly with the for
eign element of our populationj To
strengthen the public system of edu
cation to meet the needs of this un
assimilated portion of America's peo
ple a strong program has beetv
out. Realizing that national 'unity is
fundamental in the evolution of a
| democracy, the committee of one hun
dred hopes to achieve it by five
means: “A common use of- the lan
guage of the United States; a common
understanding and appreciation of
' American standards, ideals, and res
I ponsibilities of citizenship; a genuine
i allegiance to the United States, wheth
er the land of the citizen’s birth or of
adoption; active co-operation with fel
low citizens in furthering the common
welfare through government; a uni
versal consciousness of our national
and social organization and the im
pelling forcefulness of its evolution.”
For Social Service Also.
"In some cities,” says the commit
tee in its pamphlet, “it is recommend
ed that the local committee on camp
| activities appoint a sub-committee to
! take direct charge of this work. In a
, few cities it is urged that a board be
appointed by the mayor to help in
creating a girls’ protective bureau, in
establishing a house of detention and
in securing the appointment of a wo
man probation officer. In others, the
desired results may bsst be obtained
by committees operating independent
ly. This committee will seek to carry
cut such a program and secure these
additional facilities.
“Whenever it is decided to establish
a girls’ protective bureau or a house
of detention, the committee on protec
tive work for girls will send a work
er to the city to help in the organiza
tion of one or both of these.
“The devolpment of the educational
* side of the question is proceeding
! along various lilies. Trained workers
give lectures to mothers and talks to
girls to secure co-operation in giving
assistance to other girls and to show
them how this work is carried on. Lec
tures also will be given to groups of
men to secure their co-operation, and
various other organizations will be
asked to help in this.
“The workers in camp cities will
meet in conferences for the discussion
of the problems arising in connection
with the protective work and for the
better understanding of methods of
dealing with delinquents.
“in carrying out this program for
safeguarding girls during war time,
the Committee on Protective Work for
Girls must have the co-operation and
help of city and county officials and
of all organizations and individuals in
terested in this work. Some cities and
local organizations which have women
trained for this special work win be
called upon to loan some of their
workers for service in camp cities;
:
others will be asked for representa
tives to serve on local committees. If
these organizations, individuals and
all the protective forces in the com
munities will now unite in this work,
much can be accomplished, not only
for this war time, but for all time."
Miss Maude E. Miner, of New York,
is chairman of the committee. Other
members are Mrs. James C. Orshman
of New York, Mrs. William F. Dummer
of Chicago, Mrs. Martha P. Falconer
of Philadelphia and Mrs John I). Uock
efeller, Jr., of New York.
“Finally came another order of the
day, unanimously approved, in which
the following demands were made
among others; the extension of the
benefits of the law on labor to include
iwomen and children in all idustrial
concerns whatever the number of em
ployees, including also transfers in
service: the obligation to insure all
the categories of women workers in
case of illness, including child-birth
and old age, to prohibit explicitly, in
the laws on labor of women and chil
dren, the employment of minors of
less than 16 years at theatrical spec
tacles or moving picture establish
ments: the extension of certain settle
ments of disputes on social legisla
tion to women working at home: rec
ognition and ordering of appointment
offices: intensification and extension
of inspection of work with a larger
participation on the part of women:
institution of a commission on arbi
tration for demoestic servants."

WHY WHITE HOUSE
WAS PICKETED
Whether one is inclined to object to
the picketing of the White House by
suffrage agitators or agree with the
principle, the story with the reasons
for this particular kind of campaign is
extremely interesting, and being told
by one who did it—by Mrs. Harvey W.
Wiley, makes it doubly so. Writing
in the February Good Housekeeping,
the wife of the distinguished Dr. Wiley
says, after introducing her subject by
a recital of the difficulties which for
many years have stood in the way of
the entire equal suffrage movement:
“Finding our amendment blocked by
the party in power at every turn of
the road, refused further audiences by
the President, and told by him to ‘con
cert public opinion,’ we determined to
lay the responsibility for the indiffer
ence of congress to our amendment
where the responsibility belonged,
upon the leader of the party in power.
We determined to organize at the
White House gates, a silent, daily re
minder of the insistence of our
claims. We determined not to lose the
ground we had gained and the ef
forts that had been expended in bring
ing the amendment into the forefront
of politics. We determined not to be
put aside like children, and told to
wait for weightier measures, because
we considered it imperative that wo
men be enfranchised at this time. We
felt that it would be wrong longer to
delay our question, that in the horrible
condition of the world it pressed more
insistently than ever before for settle
ment. We believed that in the inevi
table readjustment, following the war,
women's share in the nation’s life
should not be overlooked. The an
guish in the world today, caused by
arrogant, autocratic governments,
proves that all educated, responsible.
human beings should participate in
the maintenance of the governments
under which they live.”

Richard Ketzier, a miner of the To
tatlinika district recently underwent
an operation for a gunshot wound in
the hand. While hunting he slipped
and fell discharging the gun. The shot
went through the fleshy part of his
thumb and he was forced to mush thir
ty miles for medical aid.
The ferry, Lone Fisher, plying be
tween Juneau and Douglas had her
troubles during the intense cold which
prevailed there some time ago. Cover
ed with Ice varying in thickness from
three Inches to over a foot the little
ship made her way across the chan
nel where larger boats could not run.
Appearing in the district court on
January 28 for sentence, Albert Lar
sen was sentenced by Judge Bunnell
to serve a terra of four months in the
federal jail for having failed to regis
ter for conscription.
From statements made in court this
afternoon it appealed that Larsen ex
pressed his willingness to plead guilty
to the charges and later had written a
letter to Judge Bunnell, telling him
that he would not plead guilty, “but
would take his chances with the grand
jury.” Before passing sentence, Judge
Bunnell made Larsen explain several
statements made by him. ,
