held the spotlight. The first half

goals.

Foreign M o t h e r
In U. S. Isolated,
W.C.T.U. Meet Told
She Is Left at Home, Shut Off
From Life of Country, aud
Should Be Taught English,
Says Speaker.
Ways of helping the little foreign
mother, who spends her life in for
eign communities of this country
raisin? large families under adverse
conditions and unable to obtain evenj
tue sugiitcst grar.p ot tnc jingnsn
language oc the ideals of her
adopted country, were discussed by
Mrs. Culla J. Vayhinger, director of
the National Woman's Christian
Temperance union, at the morning
session of its north-central regional
conference in the First, Presbyterian
church. .
"Fundamentally the union's Amer
icanization work is for women,"
said . Mrs. Vayhinger, who is from
Chicago. "Wc hnd that the foreign
mother in the home is most neg
lected. She Is Shut Off.
"There is no way to compare the
woman of southern Europe with the
American woman. The average
husband who immigrates to this
country believes that as head of the
family it is his right to carry on all
the negotiations for the family.
"He learns enough English to get
along, but when it comes to his wife
learning the language and ways of
the country he often objects.1 It is
her business to stay at home and
raise children, he thinks.
"Thus shut off the little foreign
mother often sees her children drift
ing away from her. They begin to
speak in a language she cannot un
derstand. Public and night schools
do much to remedy the situation.
But when the mother enrolls in
night schools she finds herself in the
midst of younger people whose
minds are more active. They laugh
at her slowness and the inability of
her poor hands, cramped by toil, to
write.
. Drops Out.
"And in a short time she drops
out without even learning to write
her own name jn many cases: It is
up to the Woman's Christian Tem
perance union to go into the homes
where such cases are to be found
and help the little mother to learn
the English language."
Presidents of trie union in four
"states were present at the informal
luncheon for delegates at the church
this noon and each made a short
talk. The presidents are Miss Eliz
abeth P. Anderson, of North Da
kota; Mrs. Lela G. Dyar, of Ne
braska; Mrs. Flora Mitchell, of
South Dakota; and Mrs. Ida B. Y.
Smith, of Iowa. i.
Brief addresses were given at the
morning session by , Mrs. Matilda
E. Patterson, the Rev. Lida Herrick
and several other members' of the
national executive committee.. Mrs.
Elizabeth Owens . Middleton, na
tional director of the department of
scientific temperance instruction,'
also spoke. " ,
