The Federal census bureau reports 11 percent of foreign-born residents over ten cannot speak English, down from 22 percent in 1910. The decline is linked to Americanization efforts at Legion posts though many adults remain rooted in native speech. Children adopt English readily, with nine-year-olds Giacomo Eleutherios and Wladislaw cited as strong Americanization agents.
