A Humboldt must remain unknown here, unless he chooses to Americanize himself in every respect; and could he do this without ceasing to be Humboldt the cosmopolitan genius? It would be a great benefit to the development of this country if the German language was made a branch of education, and not an accomplishment simply.
"This is Blake Stewart, and I'm his chum, Joe Duncan." "Is it possible is it possible!" cried Mr. Alcando. "And you have saved my life! Why I I er I Oh! To think of this happening so! You are you are !" He put his hands to his head and seemed to sway. "Look out! He's going to fall!" warned Blake, springing forward to catch the Spaniard. But Mr. Alcando, to Americanize his name, did not faint.
We must evangelize on both sides of the river, but only on this side can we even attempt to Americanize." "That's right," J.W. affirmed. "And even on this side we can't do what we may do in Delafield. The language is a big question, and it has two sides. But no matter what the difficulties, I'm for a great advance of missions and education, starting with Mexico and going all the way to Cape Horn."
In 1917, under the leadership of Gompers, and as a practical antidote to the I.W.W. and the foreign labor and pacifist organization known as The People's Council, there was organized The American Alliance for Labor and Democracy in order "to Americanize the labor movement." Its campaign at once became nation wide.
I picked up the book in German on an Ann Street sidewalk stand, caught the Big Idea right then and there; to Americanize the stuff and " "For 'Americanize, read 'steal," commented Edmonds. "There ain't no thin' crooked in this," protested the other with sincerity. "The stuff ain't copyrighted here. I looked that up particularly." "Quite true, I believe," confirmed Severance.
There is a Doric oracle which says, 'If the Athenians want good citizens let them put whatever is beautiful into the ears of their sons. If we Americanize this oracle it would read, 'If the Americans want good citizens let them put whatever is beautiful and useful into the ears of their sons and daughters."
To Americanize means to take the immigrant and remake him. Teaching him to write and speak the language of the country is a mere detail of the process. One cannot be awake to the industrial and social needs of the country without co-operating in every movement calculated to discourage the diversity of language, and to give to the foreigner every facility for the quick and easy mastery of English.
It is well to denounce the purchase of votes, but the duty of the country church to Americanize the peasant class is the greater duty. The presence of such a class in a town infallibly leads to this iniquity. The sale of votes is as bad as the sale of woman's virtue, and both have an automatic tendency to degrade the population. The danger sign of peasantry is a degraded standard of life.
Under such a policy the government could direct immigration to places of profitable settlement; it could relieve the congestion of the cities and Americanize the immigrant under conditions similar to those which prevailed from the first landing in New England down to the enclosure of the continent in the closing days of the last century.
For those containing two large rooms one dollar and eight cents a week is charged; while the one-room quarters are let at fifty-four cents a week. Who among our rich men will lead off in some grand crusade of this sort? Another thing we want to do to Americanize these people, is to furnish them employment under conditions consistent with health, intelligence, and morality.
