June

Philadelphia
Times

Dover
Reporter
These
foreign-born
residents
of
Dover
and
vicinity
,
many
of them
well
educated
in their
native
lands
, have
recently
begun
bridging
the
last
void
in
America's
great
melting
pot
.
Most
of them have
jobs
and
homes
, and
now
,
through
efforts
of the
WPA
adult
education
division
, they are
learning
to
read
,
speak
and
write
English
. This
class
,
one
of
several
conducted
regularly
each
week
in
Tuscarawas
county
,
is
being
taught
by
Karl
Boehm
,
who
is
at the
left
at the
end
of the
table
.
Five
of the
pupils
are
natives
of
Italy
and
one
of
Yugoslavia
.
While
learning
to
read
and
write
, they also
absorb
instruction
upon
the
American
system
of
government
as
practiced
both
locally
and
nationally
. For
some
, this
is
the
path
leading
to
eventual
citizenship
. The
pupils
shown
are
beginners
, but their
ranks
will be
greatly
increased
in the
next
few
weeks
as the
result
of a
nation-wide
literacy
drive
being
promoted
by the
entire
WPA
organization
, the
object
of
which
is
to
wipe
out
illiteracy
before
the
1940
census
is
taken
.
