Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Civics for Americans in the Making The beginning of the immigrant´s life in America is usually full of difficulties. He suddenly finds himself in the midst of new scenes, new customs, and usually a new language, which together make him an easy prey for unscrupulous men of all races, who are ready to cheat him under the pretense of friendship and help. If he violates some custom or ordinance that he does not understand, and finds himself arrested as a lawbreaker, his experience may lead him to hate the seemingly unjust laws of his new country and to set himself against them. If some interpreter or court attendant takes advantage of the immigrant´s ignorance and terror and extorts a large part of his little capital as the alleged price of a judicial decision, he naturally considers all American courts venal and corrupt. Thus he may be started, through pure ignorance, toward the attitude of a defiant law-breaker. As this has its dangers for the country as well as for the immigrant, the welfare of both demands that these newcomers (to whom this nation owes much for the new blood, energy, industry, and wealth which have enriched its life) be made acquainted immediately with the language, customs, and laws of their new homeland. To meet this demand, evening classes for foreigners have been established in many communities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
