Show SCHOOLS ARE TO AID FOREIGNERS Salt Lake, Jan. 15. "Citizenship schools to remove the "hyphen" from Immigrants may bo eBtabJished throughout Utah, according to tentative tenta-tive plans made yesterday by Dr E G. Gowans, state superintendent' of public instruction, following a conference con-ference with Paul Armstrong, federal naturalization agent stationed in Salt Lake City. Night schools where prospective cit izens may be taught the principles of American government and elementary civics and patriotism is the plan in a nut-shell. It has been done with kh cess In New York and other places J and has tho indorsement of both the naturalization bureau and the bureau of education of the department of the Interior. "This Is an important feature of the now national policy of 'preparedness'," said State Superintendent Gowaun, "and I think it is feasible and proper to try something of tho kind In Utah, givon every encouragement, and theso special night school claBses would offer of-fer tho Immigrant an opportunity to learn about his adopted land." on |
