I steps in that direction by the teacher ALL-AMERICAN NATION, AIM OF FEDERAL BUREAU Much of the work above outlined Few persons are aware of the ex- tent of the campaign for the educa- lion of aliens in citizenship that the United States government has under taken through the Bureau of Natural ization. Department of Labor. The war has demonstrated beyond chance for argument that this country stands in continual menace from a horde of unassimilated aliens whom we have Invited to enter our ports. Every army draft board in the country has had abundant evidence of this fact. Americanism is an issue which can no longer be ignored. it is proposed by the Bureau of Naturalization to carry the American ism issue directly to the foreigner through the medium of the public schools of the United States in every district where a public school exists Over 2UU0 public schools are now cooperating with the Government through the Bureau of Naturalization in this work and the number is constantly growing. The American school has proven its worth in shaping the characters of the rising generations, and now the Govern ment lays upon the schools the privilege and responsibility of train ing for citizenship the generation which has come to us since its child hood, confident that the schools can and will accomplish their task in the newer field. Naturalization Process JUSTA TTLE Meaning of Free Government Americans should be as proud Jt their citizenship as the old Romans were to be Romans. We are proud f our flag because of what it symbo lizes. We must be proud of our citizenship because of the righteous ness and majesty of the great prin ciples of equality, liberty and justice of our Government. We should strive to make every alien among us on American first in his heart. We must make him capable of being an Amerocan by teaching him the lan guage. We must also teach him that a government based on the consent if the governed is one which hates oppression, and yet requires of its citizens, because they are free to govern themselves, a high degree of morality and self control. We mustj teach him, in other words, to be an American among Americans. This is the greatest aim of the Government and the public schools, and the support of all citizens is desired. Tlie Bureau of Naturalization is represented in this district by Mr. John Speed Smith, Chief Natural ization Examiner, 404 Federal Build ing, Seattle. Under him is a force jf seveu Examiners, two of whom i are stationed in Portland, Oregon in I the Custom House Building.

The Bureau of Naturalization com menced developing its Americaniza tion work through the public schools four years ago, and the work has been most rapidly extended since the United States entered the war.
