The Way We Were

December 25, 1919

E.A. Lindman, secretary of the American organization of Wrangell, recently had occasion to write to Judge Jennings, and in his letter mentioned the fact that Wrangell now has a citizenship night school.

Judge Jennings, in his reply, touched upon the subject of citizenship night schools in the following words: Citizenship night schools are the best means that I know of by which persons who wish to become citizens of the United States can be instructed in the principles of our government and the history of our country. We have had a night school here and one in Douglas and I have noticed that those applicants who attend the citizenship schools are the best qualified.

I therefore hope that all persons in your vicinity who contemplate applying for citizenship will make it a point to attend the school and avail themselves of the splendid opportunities which I know are afforded them.

The rest of The way we were is not available for this week’s paper.
