INTERESTING TALK
IS GIVEN BY DUNN
AT DOUGLAS P.-T. A.
Very interesting and very instruc
tive was the program which was
given by the Douglas Parent-Teach
er Association last evening.
iMr. John H. Dunn, clerk of the
IT. S. District Court at Juneau, was
the speaker of the evening, his sub
ject being "Americanization.” Quot
ing Mr. Dunn, the importance of
Americanization has come to be con
sidered so great that at the present
time all the schools of the country
have set aside one week for observ
ance of the idea, in the same way
that they have their "Good English”
week or '•Thirst week.”
By way of emphasizing the great
need for thought and study along
the line of hts subject, Mr. Dunn
gave the following statistics:
Out of every four men who wet t
across the pond to fight for th's
country in the late war, one out of
every four men was unable to write
home due principally to the foreign
element and their illiteracy. Foreign
ers have bem coming into the coun
try faster than they could be edu
cated. In New York state alone
with over a million foreigners, half
of them cannot read or write their
own language. It is difficult to get
them to attend school. About a mil
lion foreigners are coming into the
country each year and it is time for
the government to take the matter
In hand.
What is done or left undone re
garding education will determine the
democracy of the nation. Education
Is the greatest Issue we have to
deal with.
The value of the product of the
school is determined by the extent
of the education received. Approxi
mately 2.000,00(1 Nthildren of school
age are not attending school and as
the speaker said, he has seen chil
dren not over 11 years of age going
on shift with their lunch pail, to get
In a day's work.
To make good citizens conditions
of this kind must be obliterated, he
said.
Mrs. Win. Donaldson’s class gave
a repetition of their Christmas play
that was highly appreciated.
The Junior School. Orchestra and
•he High School Orchestra both per
formed with credit.

junior class led the community sing
ing. The attendance was U2.
At the second services a crowded
