At the time, when the belief seems pretty general that a definite policy and a deiinite campaign are necessary for the successful Americanization and assimiliation of the foreign element which has made its home here, the New York War Camp Community Service is at work along other lines. The War Camp people are asking, W hy not allow the foreigner to Americanize himselft’ Tompkins Square unit, in the midst of 150,090 Slavs and Italians on the lower east side—that is, in a neighborhood showing every phase of life, fro msweatshop workers to prizefighters—is trying out the plan. Life for the residents of the Tompkins Square section is almost unbelievably hard, and their ignorance regarding the country of their adoption is often appalling. One Italian woman, visiting a settlement house, expressed her surprise at seeing floral decorations, and wanted to know how flowers could he brought from Italy while the war was going on. Since the time she landed she had seen nothing of America hut rows >-f swarming tenements, and she did not know that flowers grew here. Then there was an army man from the same district A book had been loaned to him by the American Library Association. His l-tter of thanks ended with: “Wouldn't it he fine if there was a place hack home where a fellow could get books like these to read;" And this soldier had lived on the east side all his life within two blocks of a public library! The idea of Dr. F. V. De Porte, director of the unit, is that the best way to make good Americans out of such foreigners is not to feed them hits of vague theories about their duties as citizens, for which they may not really he ready, but to bring them into contact with what is host in this country, leaving them to acquire its customs and ideas in their own way. A foreigner himself, Dr. De Porte, appreciates the fact that many of these people are suspicious of anything labeled “America." Too often they have been ill treated and taken advantage of by so-called Americans and to many the word does not convey an attractive idea. A great number came here from farming <li-.trirts of European countries, where, whatever else they may have lacked, they had plenty of fresh air, anil room to wander about, and where the grass and trees abounded To them America is merely the sweatshop in which they wots for enormous wages and from which they must save money with which to return, and the typical American is the foreman who dru ex them, while they I work, so many hours a day. Instead of enrolling these people
! in “Americanization classes.” or cn- ; deavoring to change their ideas by j telling them that this is a great and | wonderful country, Tompkins Unit i is simply getting them to some to
the clubhouse and then letting them
| work it out their own way. Today i the gangs that used to hang on the I street corners anl in the hack rooms i of saloons in the neighhorlu d have I transferred their headquarters to the

Under this agreement the hank deposits as a "nest egg" for the Investor one dollar fur eacdi $1(10 certificate purchased from the hank. “We have found,” said W. H. Bosworth. executive secretary of the Seventh District Savings organization, “that there are vast numbers of people who would like to put their money In these Treasury Savings certificates who cannot afford to port with enough to pay for a $100 certificate in a single payment, so the organization ot this district devised a partial payment plan, which was submitted to the

zation fan would have dreamed of proposing for them. Included arc classes in English and mathematics, instruction in painting, proposals for the improvement of sanitary conditions in the district, lectures on music, drama, and literature, besides ambitious plans for athletic and
social activities.
Tompkins Square Unit is working on the principle that the way to interest these people in becoming Americans is by showing them what real American is like; that the way to make them into good citizens is not to hand them naturalization papers and give them the responsibility of the ballot, but to give them job their own size. Their duty as tizens, Dr. De Forte believes, should begin with determining the fate of their block, rather than that of the whole country. They know what the block is, and they can be made to understand that if it is littered with unsightly tin cans, papers, and rubbish it is their own fault. Larger issues will come later with
larger vision.
VYhrn Dr. De Porte first got in touch with them he felt they were in a bad way. Preliminary in organizing the unit he canvassed all the ex- • ervice men in the district with the idea of getting generally acquainted. He found that pretty generally there were bitter feelings against the Government. Some had what appeared to be real grievances, others were merely influenced by some one else’s
attitude.
of the Savings Division, headed by William Mather Lewis, “The Investor Is thus enabled to purchase these Savings certificates on the installment plan and the certificates are turned over to him when he lias completed his payments. Tl e hank with which he does business also deposits to his credit In the hank one dollar ns n savings account for each $100 certificate purchased. We feel that this partial payment system will enable many thousands to invest In these Government securities w ho otherwise would not be able to do so. It also will menu in many cases the starting of hank savings accounts. “The safety of these securities Is a feature that should not he lost sight of. Being registered, they are Insured against loxs through theft or fire. If one ever needs the money the certificates are redeemable, beginning with tfle second calendar month after the month of purchase without the ten days’ demand required by the terms of the 1919 Savings securities.” Following is the text of the agreement entered Into between the purchaser and the hank he selects: I hereby enter my subscription with the hunk named above for $ (Maturity Value) in Treasury Savings Certificates, to he paid for regularly
