Emery Király, June 22, 1959 Treasurer NATURALIZATION Question: I want to apply for American citizenship and am told I must pass an examination on American history and government. Where can I go to prepare myself for such a test? Answer: Most cities in the United States maintain special public school classes in English and citizenship for adults. For information about these classes you should inquire at the public school nearest you. To qualify for American citizenship, aliens must know the main facts about American history and government, and be able to understand, read, write and speak simple English. The law provides an exception to the English language requirement. If on December 24, 1952, a person was over 50 years old and had lived in the United States for a total of 20 years, he does not have to understand the English language to become a citizen. However, it should be remembered that everyone, whether they are required to speak English or not, must have an understanding of American history and government. If for any reason an applicant for citizenship is not able to attend a regular day or evening class, he should read and study one or more books about American history and government, or take a home study course. Information about these, as well as 133 specimen questinos and answers on American history and government, are contained in “How to Become a Citizen of the United States”, a book published by the Common Council for American Unity. Copies at $1.00 each may be obtained from the Council at 20 West 40th Street, New York 18, N. Y.
