Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The A. P. A. Movement: A Sketch In the early days of the A. P. A., it was frequently remarked that the newspapers showed a peculiar reluctance to mentioning the movement, oven when it was already becoming; the burden of conversation in conventions, commercial organizations, and social circles. There was a disposition to allow it all the privacy it desired, not through sympathy with its secrecy, but through dislike of its disturbing influence. After it went into decline, this disposition was again apparent. The public preferred to forget it, having no pride in its occurrence. To some extent, this is the spirit also of the American historian. The Know-Nothing movement has a notice in such histories as those of Rhodes, all too brief, considering the stir it made at the time. Woodrow Wilson´s five volume History of the American People (published in 1902), makes no mention whatever of the A. P. A. Still, these movements, though not subjects of national pride, have, in their narration, instructive lessons.
