Mr. President. getting down to the statement that this is simply a duplication of work. transferring it to a body that can not do it as well as it is now being done. I desire to call the attention of the Senate to the fact that the public schools of the United States. in conjunction with the Bureau 6f Naturalization of the Department of Labor. have this work in halnd.

A plan was proposed by the Bureau of Naturalization for linking together the public schools throughout the United States with the Federal Government. I have found. Mr. President. in studying the work of this bureau that. without any additional. appropriations. from CongresL. while carrying on its regular work the Bureau of Naturalization has been- working in direct cooperation with the public schools during the last four years. At the present time in 1.797 cities. towns. and small communities. extending clear into the mining.camps. the public schools of the United States have organized with the Bureau of Naturalization in teaching the candidate for citizenshipthe things he sliould know as an American citizen.
