Italianssome of whom lie found could not read and write. and a great many of whom le found could read and write. but could not even speak English and could not obey the words of command without extra drill. One of the first things that the boys division commander ordered him and some others to do. was to try to teach those men enough English at any rate to get their meals and to obey military orders. Now. to go on. I also propose. on page 2. line 1.. after the words " United States." to insert " to aid the States in teaching English to aliens and naturalized citizens." Of course. the fellow who understands English will not be taught. and the man who does not understand English will be taught. One more word. Mr.
