To the Editors of the Crimson:

DEAR SIRS: A request for teachers of English to Italians comes to me from Boston. The following extracts will give an idea of the work. Students willing to teach should communicate with the Secretary of the Society for the Protection of Italians, 211 North Street, Boston.

Yours sincerely,F. C. DE SUMICHRAST."Three schools for teaching English to Italians are now maintained at the North End. The teaching is done by volunteers, and more are needed. Cambridge students will be heartily welcome. Knowledge of Italian is not needed; I speak from experience, for when I began to help I scarcely knew a word. The men crowd around you like a lot of eager boys, and will make the most painstaking efforts to imitate the English sounds you make. Incidentally, of course, the teacher picks up a good deal of Italian and he is in the way of getting some insight into Italian character."
