Sheldon, dean of the school of education, will speak on the subject of Americanization be fore the Neighborhood Club at La Grande, on February 19th. “There is an increased interest shown throughout the state in this, subject,’’ said Dr. Sheldon. “Peo ple are beginning to realize that there should be night schools for foreigners with classes in English, the proper instruction in civics, and instruction concerning American in stitutions and the principles involved’ in the Declaration of Independence.” “This is a subject that requires) wise handling,” Dr. Sheldon said further, “if an attempt is made to suppress the speaking of foreign languages and the printing of news papers in foreign languages, it im mediately appeals to the foreigner as being a patriotic act to read and speak • his native tongue. If these foreign newspapers are left alone they will die of themselves, for they necessarily reach a limited number of people, their resources are limit ed, and they consequently cannot give the real news service American papers give. Foreigners should be permitted to speak their own langu ANDIRONS —SPARK GUARDS -FIRE PLACE SETS Griffin-Babb Hardware Company Phone 899 391 E. 8th. Fluff Rug and Mattress Co.
