Would you want American-born young people to be a lot of greenhorns? This is not Russia. They are Americans and they are young, so they want to have some fun. They are just as respectable as the boys and the girls in the old country. Only there is some life to them. That's all."
There'll always be enough American-born scholars to keep you from being lonesome, just as there'll always be others like me, that don't pretend to have a drop of real scholar's blood in them. I want to teach! to teach history! American history! teach it to fool young undergraduates who don't know what kind of a country they've got, nor what they ought to make out of it, now they've got it.
A. Warren Stearns, has made a study which shows that while the immigrant Italian is excitable and quick to anger and of revengeful reactions, his American-born descendent has so far controlled and changed this type of reaction that he does not especially figure in police records, in murders or assaults.
Then, as on the Finmarken coast, towns, hamlets, and fishing settlements will rise in the course of time, and the wealth of the people will come from the fish their gold from the sea. Then we shall have more American-born sailors to man our ships.

Another finisher, a young widow, saved me the expense of a figure woman.
"Would you object," he asked, moving his chair a little closer to hers, "if, before I explain why you are here, I ask you a few questions very personal questions?" "Certainly not," said Jane. "You are American-born, of course?" "Oh, yes." "And your parents?" "American for ten or twelve generations." "How long have you lived in that apartment house on Riverside Drive?" "For about five years."
Winthrop's Journal, and all the old records of the earlier colonists, show households where masters and mistresses stood on the "right divine" of the privileged classes, howsoever they might have risen up against authorities themselves. The first consequence of this state of things was a universal rejection of domestic service in all classes of American-born society.

No explanation that could be given by a young man of German name, even though he was American-born, or had an American birth certificate, could possibly account for his having a British uniform. It was prima facie evidence that Frederic Hoff was a spy. What puzzled Carter most was how Hoff managed to smuggle the uniform in and out of the apartment without being observed.
