MILLS OF NIGHT CLASSES GRIND OUT AMERICAN! ■ . 1 Foreigners Enthuse Over Learning Language and Citizenship. BY RADER WINGET “Making Americans’’ is one of the outstanding features of the Manual Training night school, which has about 500 students enrolled in all classes, three nights a week.. There are five classes through which the foreigners must pass before attempting to gain citizenship. They are beginners, elementary, intermediate, advanced and citizenship, the latter operated by the Government. Fifteen students grouped about the teacher, Miss Bertha Thormeyer, in the beginners room. “I stand.” said a Chinese boy. “I walk to the door —I close the door—l open the door —I go back to my seat—l sit down.” And each phrase was accompanied by the motion. Eager to Learn Then a German boy who had been in American just five days went through the same forms. A Greecian girl wit ha beautiful old wqrld accent tried. The teacher labored with pronunciation. After an hour of the work the bell rang. Disappointment was evident on the faces. It was expressed in “Ach,” from the Germans, and from the Chinese. At the end of the five minutes intermission the students returned for another hour. Three German boys who had been in America less than a week were asked their names through the interpreter. The boys were Willi Roehling, 18; Willi Groeber, 22, and Henry Bick, 18. All were from Westphalia and work in Indianapolis as gardeners. “I came to America because there is no work in Germany,” said the oldest in German. “And I came to this country because there is no pleasure in the old country,” Willi said. Making Americans “What, no pleasure in Germany with good nickel beer?” he was asked through the interpreter. “Ach, but there is good beer in Indianapolis,” said all three at once. In the citizenship class were foreigners from all the world looking very “American” just like a s’eventh inning baseball crowd. They were learning about the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. The teacher talked very slowly and repeated expressions in different terms. As they learned the early history, of their adopted country, their expressions became more and more “American”. Walking toward the door, we even expected s’omeone to yell that typical Yankee institutional expression, “kill the umpire.” Nnmrcous Courses Offered But English for foreigners is only part of the Manual night school, according Bertram Sanders, director. There are 250 enrolled in commercial classes and many in salesmanship and advertising, commercial art, mechanical drawing, machine and tool design, architectural drafting, plain sewing and dressmaking. There also is a popular course in “bricklayers estimating” for journeyman bricklayers’ under union direction. Enrollments are smaller than several years ago, but attendance is much better, says J. R. H. Moore, assistant director. When there was no charge for enrollment, many persons came just for the warmth and dryness. Enrollment was boosted, of course, but the results were poor. A charge of $2.50 stopped the loafers, and only those who really were sincere remained. The charge is returned at the end of the term providing attendance has been good. BRANCH LIBRARY NAMES READING TEST WINNERS Robert Moore Awarded First in School 75 Competition. Robert Moore, 10, of 1511 N Haugh St., won the summer reading contest conducted by the Haughville branch library for School 75, reading thirty-three books with all “clews” correct in thirty-nine days. He tied the record of the library for the fifth and sixth grades. Bobbie, who is in the 6B at school No. 75, read more books than any of his schoolmates, and after completing the fifth and sixth grade list he read a number of the seventh and eighth grade books. Haughville branch library had an unusually large number of children enrolled in the contest this summer. Schools No. 52, No. 67 and No. 75 are in this district. German Club Elects Twenty-five students attended the first meeting of the Butler University German Club, and Suzanne Monninger, was elected president. Albert Marshall was made vicepresident, and Adolph Emhardt, secretary treasurer.

‘5-Foot 2’ Eyes Not Blue as Eyes Go at Teacher’s Colleges, Statistics Show.
“TJ'IVE foot two and eyes of I? blue” goes the famous popular song. And the “average” student at. teachers colleges has everything but the blue eyes, according to Dr. Daniel Lee Bower, medical advisor of the Teachers College of Indianapolis, who bases his decision on statistics from examination reports of 600 students. “The composite teachers college girl is five feet, two and sixtyseven hundredths inches tall and weight 122 pounds,” he says. Petty sickness has exacted a toll from the girls, the report shows. “About 90 per cent have had measles before entering college; 75 per cent, chickenpox; 70 per cent, whooping cough; and 60 per cent, mumps.” To say nothing of hangnails and permanent waves. Bad colds is the most prevalent disease among the girls, the doctor says. They are a result of germs plus lowered resistance, and he urged students to report to the medical department at the first symptoms of a cold. Vaccination for other ailments was recommended. A program of special exercises to meet individual needs of students who • have any physical weaknesses will be given this year, Dr. Bower said. Miss Lois Sperling Is instructor in physical training at the college and will cooperate with the medical department in planning work for special cases. TALKS ON COLUMBUS i Discovery Day Observedl at Teachers College Chapel. “The Spirit of Columbus and His Age,” was the subject of a talk by James H.

Brown is president of the Union Trust Company and chairman of the athletic committee of the school.

Classes Held in Museum The four Saturday morning classes of the John Herron Art Institute are being held at the Children’s Museum, 1150 N. Meridian St., because of the remodeling of the Art school, it was announced today.
Satiated Souls Food for the stomach rather than for the soul is craved by some Butler University students, it was shown in a recent symposium on “Compulsory Chapel” by the Butler Collegian, student publication. “Chapel is interesting,” said one co-ed. “Dinner?—Oh, I just eat candy.” Others didn’t eat at all, it is said. A pledge to a fraternity complained that chapel interfered with his bed-making activities for the upper classmen. Another man alleged he attended Sunday school regularly and felt that was enough.
