Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americanism The American people have short memories. That is but natural. As history is measured, the United States is but a youth, and, as befits normal youth, self-sufficient and self-reliant, we have had little desire or need of dwelling upon the past. America has been busy dreaming and thinking of the morrow, with its duties and opportunities; busy exploring, settling and developing a new continent; engaged in construction rather than reflection. As a nation, we inherited no racial enmities or religious antipathies which made it natural to keep alive the memories of ancient grudges or necessary to appeal to ancient fears in order to maintain our national unity. This was not accidental. "There is a divinity which shapes our ends" and orders the destinies of nations. It was necessary to our establishment as a nation, to the sturdy, healthy development of our institutions that we be free to work out our problems, uninfluenced and unfettered by old prejudices and hatreds. It was necessary that our fathers wholly discard the institutions and practices of European civilization, grown fetid, and model America's government along wholly new and wholesome lines. But now we are developed physically; our frontiers have disappeared. We are developed politically; our institutions are firmly established and our national unity and solidarity tested and proved. America has reached maturity, that age when its future is served better by caution than by daring, and the interests and welfare of its citizens promoted better by holding fast to that which has proved true and enduring than by experimenting with the novel and untried. At various times in our national life there have come testing periods when, standing at the parting of the ways, the people have been called upon to choose between keeping the faith of their fathers and following the call of visionaries and the self-seeking ambitious. America has just passed through such a crisis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americanism, What It Is This whole conception of life is based upon the significance of the individual; but the latest, if not the prevailing, fashion of thought is, to speak slightingly of the individual, -of his rights, of his capacities, and of his responsibilities. We are at present seeking progress, not through a develop ment of the individual, but through what society as a whole can do for itself; forgetting that society is a purely abstract idea, possessing no inherent power either of initiative or of achievement. Yet it has become almost a reproach to stand for the rights of the individual, who is the only motive power that society possesses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in Americanism A few months ago, I was riding in a car in a neighboring city. Two men, evidently from the middle walk of life, were sitting behind me, and I could not help hearing the following conversa tion: Well, I see they arrested Bill for stealing a couple of hams; to which his companion responded: Yes, and I suppose he will go to prison; if he was a rich guy, there wouldn't be any danger, but a poor devil don't stand no show in the Courts. The other agreed with him, and they proceeded to discuss the subject and to cuss the Courts. I wanted to turn around and tell them they were gravely mistaken; I wanted to explain to them that the statement we often hear quoted, If a man steals a loaf, he goes to prison, and if he steals a railroad he goes to the United States Senate, is a gross exaggeration, - nay, a posi tive libel upon our institutions. I wanted to say to them, Go down to the police court of your own city, and you will find that the arrests for minor offenses for the past year have averaged some forty-five each day; and then go to the records, and find that in ninety per cent of the cases, the Courts and the law, have permitted the unfortunates to keep out of prison by the imposition of a nominal fine, or the favor of a suspended sentence. I wanted to tell them that as a matter of fact out of the thousands of cases tried every day in this country, that only in a very small per cent (1 would say less than one per cent) substantial justice is not administered. I wanted to cry out in protest against the source from which the mis-information comes, which is conveying these dangerous ideas to the American people - the yellow newspapers and maga zines, and other purveyors of falsehood and scandal.

The native of the New World may, in dress and appearance, in culture and refinement, pass unnoticed in European society, but no soon er does he open his lips, than his intonation, choice of words, and structure of sentence, betray his foreign birth. The difference is, in reality, very slight, but it is characteristic, and as there is no better key to the habits and temper of a people, than the study of its watchwords and nicknames, its likes and dislikes of terms and phrases, we have endeavored to collect enough of these peculiari ties to furnish an idea of the way we talk.
