Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the State Conference on Immigrant Education in Massachusetts Industries 1. The significant statement has been made in this conference that 800,000 immigrants landed on our shores during the year ending June 30, 1920, in contrast with 141,000 the previous year. The immigrant tide is again on the rise. America welcomes these newcomers from overseas. America has learned, however, the danger of allowing in our midst thousands who are with us but not of us, mainly because of the language barrier; hence, the imperative need of education in English and the principles of American citizenship to the end that our American institutions may endure. 2. Thousands of our non-English speaking immigrants are to be found in the industries. Because of this, the co-operation of the industries with the educational authorities will go far to help us solve the difficult problem of assimilation. The spirit of co-operation between the industries and the schools displayed at this conference is a happy augury of achievement for the coming year. We believe that the delegates here gathered should do everything within their power to spread this co-operation over a wider and wider area. 3. The education of the immigrant is a public function, and, wherever possible, should be carried on by public educational authorities in accordance with the plans formulated by the State Department of Education following out the provisions of chapter 295, General Acts of 1919. Industry should avail itself of the educational facilities offered by the public schools, and should co-operate in every feasible way to perfect these facilities. 4. Public educational authorities must appreciate that adequate plans for educating the immigrant call for the expenditure of many times more money than is now being provided.
