A branch of the state division of Immigration and Americanization is maintained there, and it has been active in putting newcomers into the evening schools and the English study classes within the industries. For the children who came from foreign lands a medal for proficiency in English is annually awarded to children of non-English-speaking parentage. This medal was presented to the 1921 winners at the Pilgrim tercentenary last summer by President Harding. There are in the day schools special classes in every district to teach them English and bring them up to grade.
