Secretary Lanes reclamation proposal. arid the SmithBankhead Ariericanization education bill. [Great Falls (Mont.) Tribune. Apr. 20.] The SmithBankhead bill was prepared in consultation with Secretary Lane ard with his approval. It was a wellthoughtout plan to wipe this disgrace to our Republic out by a system of combined Fedoral and State action where it existed. and a strenuous effort to Americanize all foreign Immigrants entering the country hereafter. It carried a yearly Federal appropriation to supplement State resources in the task of wiping out the dark spots of illiteracy wherever they existed. We hope we may find this bill to wipe out illiteracy and Americanize foreigners who come to live in this country will be put on the national statute book. [Boston (Mass.) Transcript.
