Jewish Women, Citizenship, and Belonging in Progressive America

Do You Wish to Become a Useful Citizen

Many organizations—public and private—are eager to help you prepare yourself for citizenship. The Public Schools, the settlements and neighborhood houses near your home, all have day and evening classes to which they invite you. Go to them. If you have little children whom you cannot leave at home, take them with you; they will be cared for in kindergartens while you attend your class. The National Council of Jewish Women have organized English and citizenship classes in every city in this country for women who wish to become citizens. If you wish information about these classes, write to:

Department of Immigrant Aide, 
The National Council of Jewish Women, 
799 Broadway, New York City

This Department will be glad to refer you to the proper classes in your city. Attend these classes regularly, even if it means that you must work harder when you come home. You will feel repaid. You will find a new world opened to you. You will realize you are a human being, not merely a kitchen drudge—always scrubbing and washing and cooking, and never having any outside interests or pleasures. You will be proud of yourself when you can read your children's school books and reports. And your husband and children will be proud of you too!
