The Chicago Foreign Language Press Survey was published in 1942 by the Chicago Public Library Omnibus Project of the Works Progress Administration of Illinois. The purpose of the project was to translate and classify selected news articles that appeared in the foreign language press from 1855 to 1938. The project consists of 120,000 typewritten pages translated from newspapers of 22 different foreign language communities of Chicago.
January 15th at 9 o'clock in the morning a monthly meeting was held by the Lithuanian Science Society.
President Grinius called the meeting to order, the minutes were read and approved.
Then Mr. Grinius spoke about the necessity of schools for Lithuanians in Chicago.
All in the meeting agreed that we must have schools. Mr. Waranka spoke on education and the benefit of it; that a man without education is lost.
Also Mr. Masionis spoke about the poor and downtrodden.
Then all the members of the society decided to establish a Lithuanian school at the hall of Mr. Kowalski, Noble and Milwaukee Avenue, and the other school at 713 Van Horn St. The teachers will be J. Grinius, P. Braczulis, M. Waranka and J. Kriszcziukaitis. The school will be twice a week at Kowalski's on Monday and Friday, at 713 Van Horn St., on Wednesday and Saturday.
Every Lithuanian without any payment can attend these schools to learn how to write,read, arithmetic, English language and other scientific subjects.
