CITIZENSHIP CLASSES ARE
PROVING HELPFUL
A romarkale example of seif-better
ment through the citizenship classes
provided by the: Bureau of Naturaliza
tion, Department of Labor, and the
public schools, has just come to light
in Washington, where a young for
eigner, absolutely illiterate not only in
English but in his own language, en
tered one of the classes and within
nine lessons was able to write letters;.
The zeal of some cf these students^
is remarkable. One Washington stu
dent spends practically all his time
when he is not at work in the citizen
ship classes, coming during the evening
or during the day at any hour lie is
free.
