EDUCMEFOREiGNEM
Uncle Sam’s Bureau of Educa
tion Starts New Movement.
War Americanization to Be Feature
of “America First" Campaign—
s7B,ooo Is Appropriated.
War Americanization is a signifi
cant feature of the thinl “America
First” campaign announced by Uncle
Sam’s bureau of education. This
unique plan is already being worked
out In New York city by an official of
the National Committee of One Hun
dred, which is associated with the bu
reau as advisory council on Ameri
canization. In that city the appeal
for war Americanization met with
such an enthusiastic response that
upon the suggestion of the mayor’s
defense committee, the board of edu
cation appropriated $78,000 to carry
out the plan.
The national scheme has been in
process of formation for several
months, and has been carefully work
ed out in consultation with federal
officials, representatives of national or
ganizations and school authorities.
The aim of the third campaign will
be directed toward stimulating the
acquisition of the English language
by all immigrants, and toward inspir
ing a genuine allegiance to the United
States on the part of ail citizens. The
bureau will be assisted in the cam
paign by the National Committee of
One Hundred, appointed last year by
the commissioner of education to as
sist bureau officials In all matters per
taining to Americanization. To ren
der effective aid, the committee has
opened headquarters in Washington
from which it is establishing contact
with national organizations and offi
cials. Already leading chambers of
commerce, several large cities, and a
number of patriotic and fraternal or
ganization, representing several million
members, are negotiating with the bu
reau for the purpose of entering into
the campaign according to specifica
tions outlined in official circulars.
Official records show that approx
imately 3,000,000 foreign-horn whites
residing in the United States do not
speak English. Only a small number
of these have attended evening schools
to learn the language indispensable to
employment, business and social rela
tions in this country. Concerted effort
will be put forth to induce these immi
grants to learn English and acquire a
knowledge of the government, insti
tutions and ideals of the United
States. America’s part in the war and
the obligations of an immigrant to the
country during the war, officials of the
bureau believe, should be made clear
to all those attending evening school.
To give this information will be an im
portant phase of the war Americaniza
tion plan.
Military Salute Is Traced
Back to Days of Chivalry.
The military salute had a curi
ous origin, if the tradition
brought to light by officers of
Uncle Sam’s marine corps may
he believed. The navy soldiers
say that the salute originated in
the days of the tournament, at
which a queen of beauty was
chosen to preside. The knights
and their esquires and all who
took part in the tourney, on pre
senting themselves before the
queen, lifted each one a hand
level witli the brows as though
dazzled by the light of her pres
ence.
Although its significance has
been forgotten that same salute
is now used by military men in
recognition of a superior rank,
the marine officers say.
TO FREE ARMY “NERVES”
New Branch of Military Inspection
Headed by Ten of Leading Psycho-
Pathologists of Country.
American soldiers who go to France
must he not only physically fit, but
also nervously and mentally fit.
A new branch of military inspection,
headed by ten of the leading psycho
pathologists of the country, has been
established to safeguard the army
against the weak-mind and the imbe
cile, to weed out the men whose nerv
ous systems are broken down, to make
sure that the fighting forces at the
front are not handicapped by “the man
with nerves."
Examinations to be given by the
neurologists will not only eliminate the
unfit, but will prevent the would-be
slackers from feigning nervousness or
mental sickness.
Five clinics have been established
where doctors may prepare for this
service, the clinics being located as
follows: The Psychopathic hospital,
Boston; the Phipps Psychiatric clinic,
Baltimore; the Michigan Psychopathic
hospital, Ann Arbor; the Neurological
institute, New York, and the Psychia
tric Institute, Ward’s island, New York.
Wireless Sets Are Light.
One of the wireless sets, employed
by the United State’s Signal corps,
succeeded in communicating over a
distance of 119 miles, from an air
plane, weighs only 00 pounds. An
other set, developed at the North Is
land, San Diego, Cal., weighs about 45
pounds, and it has covered a distance
of more than 150 miles, while flying
at an elevation of 700 feet
