AMALGAMATING OUR FOREIGN BORN 



we must look as our fundamental solvent of 

 "foreignism." More than aught else, or all 

 else, they bring it about that the rich and the 

 poor meet together in harmony. They fos- 

 ter patriotism and a democratic spirit, help- 

 ing to create good citizens. Children reared 

 in a patrician atmosphere almost inevitably 

 grow anti-social, wanting in public spirit. 

 Youthful prejudices are tenacious. It is 

 well that the bank president's and the 

 butcher's son study and play side by side, 

 and that the better dressed of the twain often 

 has occasion to envy the other his superior 

 ability.
