BURNS (Director Study of Methods of Americanization, Carnegie Corporation of New York) and OWEN A. HOBAN, Esq. "NATIONAL POLICIES FOR AMERICANIZATION" Auditorium, 8 o'clock JOHN J. MAHONEY, State Supervisor of Americanization, will preside. Here is a big, vital topic, which concerns every one of us, and which lies at the bottom of many of our national and local problems. How can we best assimilate the vast number of foreign-born now with us, and those who are to come? To answer the question we have selected two of the best qualified speakers on the subject. You will be well repaid by hearing what they have to say. For three years Mr. Burns has been directing a nation-wide survey of methods of Americanization for the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Prior to that he was director of the Cleveland Foundation, and secretary of the Civic Commission of Pittsburgh. He is also president of the National Conference of Social Work. Mr. Owen A. Hoban, of Gardner, Mass., has achieved notable success in his work among the foreign-born of that city, is a speaker of rare ability, and will tell an interesting and convincing story of what has been accomplished here at home. Dinner at 6 o'clock. Tickets at the office of the Civic Secretary. CTU Monday Evening, March 14 (Forum) THEODORE H. PRICE Auditorium, 8 o'clock "DOES HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF IN BUSINESS?' Mr. Price is a recognized authority on every-day business economics, whose council is regularly called for in financial and commercial matters. In his extensive writings on such topics he has built up a reputation for reliability in his estimates of all markets. Perhaps nowhere could we find a man who, both by theory and practice, more intimately feels the pulse of business conditions. This will be a most interesting discussion of contemporaneous business affairs, with a forecast as to what the future holds. In the present stage of the business cycle, the opportunities presented by the question period will be exceptional. Dinner at 6 o'clock. Reservations at the office of the Civic Secretary. Tuesday Noon, March 15 (1 P.M.) LUNCHEON TO JAMES A. EMERY, Esq. who will discuss "THE OPEN SHOP" Auditorium, 1 o'clock President GEORGE H. ELLIS will preside. Mr. Emery is General Counsel for the National Industrial Council of New York, and formerly attorney for the National Manufacturers' Association. He is one of the ablest lawyers in the country, an exceedingly forceful and convincing speaker, and one who is sure to make a lasting impression. The topic, "The Open Shop," is one which is very much before the public at this time. Mr. Emery will present the employers' side of the case. Tickets for the luncheon at the office of the Civic Secretary. Thursday Evening, March 17 ILLUSTRATED LECTURE "THE TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT OF THE NC 3" BY LIEUT.-COMMANDER ROBERT A. LAVENDER," U.S.N. (Radio Officer of the NC 3) Auditorium, 8 o'clock Prof. CHARLES B. BREED will preside. Lieut.-Commander Lavender will tell the story of the development of the seaplanes with the attending difficulties, describe the planes which made the flight possible, and relate the personal experiences of the crews during the flight. The lecture is illustrated with motion pictures showing the handling of the planes at their base, the get-away for the first transatlantic flight, and the various stages of the flight. It is further illustrated with lantern slides showing the general construction of the planes, the navigation instruments and other equipment, the stations and duties of the members of the crew and other interesting features. During the flight the NC 3 was obliged to land on the water near the Azores and ride out a 60-mile gale for fifty-five hours in seas 30 feet high, during which time the plane drifted over 200 miles. Lieut.-Commander Lavender was awarded the D. S. C. on Armis tice Day. Dinner at 6 o'clock. Tickets at the office of the Civic Secretary. Thursday Evening, March 24 DR. TEHYI HSIEH "CHINA, AND HER RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES" (Illustrated) Auditorium, 8 o'clock Hon. JOHN C. FERGUSON will preside. Having heard both sides of the Japanese question, we now have an opportunity to get China's point of view from one of her most scholarly and eloquent statesmen, Dr. Tehyi Hsieh (pronounced, teeya sheya). He has frequently been called "The Roosevelt of China." He speaks excellent English, is forceful and convincing. At the annual dinner of the Poor Richard Club, recently held in Philadelphia, his address brought the audience of about a thousand people to its feet, cheering. He is a graduate of Cambridge University, England. |
