Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Catholic Educational Review, Vol. 19
The tide Of immigration, pouring into our country for many decades in ever increasing volume, was interrupted brie?y during the years Of the European War, but is now resumed in increased volume which is limited only by the carrying capac ity of the ships that pass between European ports and our own. This tide Of immigration presents many unsolved prob lems. We need much more labor than has been available during the past few years unless we are to drop back into an elementary condition in which we export our raw materials and import our necessary manufactures. On the other hand, an abundant supply Of labor is likely to reduce the wages Of the working man and to lower his standard of living. The adjustment of these Opposing factors must be undertaken by the national government. But this is not the only problem nor indeed the chief problem which the situation presents. Our experience Of the past few years has taught all who are willing to learn that we have failed in large measure to deal with many vital issues that are involved. As a result we hear on every side the demand for the Americanization Of the foreigner and the public is looking to the school to take its part in this work.
