abstract
The following abstract is taken from the introductory paragraph of the thesis. "Americanization work and the instruction of our foreigners have been greatly neglected in the past. The fear so often expressed, that the fire under the melting pot had gone out and that the nation was endangered by the unassimilated, unamalgamated mass of foreigners, was not entirely unfounded. Schools and other agencies did not seem to realize their obligation in this very important work. Many of our fine training schools and teachers’ colleges failed to give courses in Americanization work. The theory among many was that foreigners did not care to learn. This view was held because it took so much work and expense to keep them in school or it was thought that native intelligence or the lack of it interfered with learning. Few stopped to think that perhaps the failure of the schools was due to wrong methods, a curriculum not at all suited to their need, or incompetent teachers." note
