OUR NEW AMERICANS 
 
 Miss Marguerite Reid, Foreign Department, 
 Providence Public Library. 
 
 In the solution of our great national problem, the gravest before 
 the American public, the assimilation of the immigrant, the public 
 library has a responsibility to assume and an important duty to per- 
 form. Thoughtful citizens are waking up to the feeling that the 
 problem increases in importance in that it is overstraining our pow- 
 ers of assimilation. When I visited the Immigrant Section of the 
 "World in Boston", last year, I, too, was impressed with the im- 
 mensity of the problem, almost into inactivity. It seemed to me 
 useless to attempt to Americanize these masses that are entering our 
 country yearly, over a million in 1911, separated from us, as they are, 
 by habit, ideas of life, and language. Their ignorance of our lan- 
 guage, our institutions, and standards of living, seemed to me to con- 
 stitute a disadvantage both to them and to the community in which 
 they would settle that was too serious to admit of solution. But 
 upon reflection I remembered that the public library alone has not to 
 solve the whole gigantic problem of immigration, but has simply to 
 concentrate on the particular needs pf its community, the responsi- 
 bility of which it will share with other existing educational agencies, 
 the night school, Y. M. C. A., and philanthropic societies, with which 
 it will co-operate and whose work it will supplement in this attempt 
 at Americanizing an alien people. 
 
 This paper is devoted to an effort toward a better understanding 
 and finer appreciation of these strangers in our land, for if we en- 
 lighten public sentiment and arouse sympathetic interest m their 
 welfare, we have gone far towards solving a difficult problem. Sec- 
 ondly, some definite suggestions as to ways and means of assisting 
 these Americans in process are offered. 
 
 In approaching this subject of the assimilation of the immigrant 
 we are too apt to forget, it seems to me, that our foreign-speaking 
 friend offers his contribution to the melting-pot, that he brings with 
 him an inheritance of old-world culture. Emil Reich has called Italy, 
 from which land most of our immigrants arrive, the "most gifted 
 
 ji60366

 nation in Europe", one that may contribute to our intellectual eleva- 
 tion. The literary taste of the Italian, his love for the classics of his 
 own literature is in marked contrast to the reading tastes of our na- 
 tive public. A working-man, apparently illiterate, to judge by his 
 appearance, will be thoroughly conversant with the classics of his 
 native literature, not by title but by actual working knowledge, as evi- 
 denced by an experience I had. An ordinary, rather rough appearing 
 man asked me to help him find the sequel to the "Orlando Furioso" 
 which I did not readily locate. I asked him if he were sure it wasn't 
 the "Orlando innamorato", upon which the "Furioso" is based, that 
 he had in mind, and he scornfully replied "No," that he had read it 
 all, he wanted to locate the death of Orlando, and merely wished to 
 know if we owned it. He was thoroughly at home in his subject, in 
 spite of the fact that these three poems were written as long ago as 
 the fifteenth century by different men, and yet, judging by his ap- 
 pearance, were he an English-speaking member of society, we would 
 have offered him Sherlock Holmes to bait him. 
 
 It is well for us to remember that the Italian barber reads Dante 
 with avidity and is more familiar with Shakespeare than many of us. 
 The volumes of Carducci, the greatest poet of our day, are in steady 
 demand, in spite of their rather awesome dress in a classic edition. 
 The Italian prefers poetry and drama to fiction. Out of 1400 Italian 
 volumes we have but 125 volumes of fiction. He enjoys the pictur- 
 esque in literature, too, fairy tales, books of travel, and biographies 
 of his country's heroes, — Christopher Columbus, Garibaldi, Victor 
 Emmanuel. 
 
 With the Jew a love of learning is inborn. His interest in mat- 
 ters educational is most keen. One man, whom I had always pre- 
 sumed to be a mechanic, surprised me one day by appearing with a 
 Freshman cap on. One could see pride sticking out all over him in 
 spite of the fact that his face was rather old for a cap. He had been 
 in America for two years, working in a jewelry shop, where he had 
 suffered from the unsympathizing jeers of co-workers who judged 
 him an inferior. He had succeeded in passing the entrance exami- 
 nations at Brown University and was registered with advanced 
 standing in mathematics, leaving our native youth behind him in the 
 jewelry shop. This is the most noticeable characteristic of the Jew, 
 that each and every one of them, eager for new knowledge, is gaining 
 an education. He should be an inspiration to our American boys 
 who are not handicapped by studying in a strange tongue. In early 
 youth Jews have formed definite views on political, religious, and 
 social questions, and have already evolved their philosophy of life. 
 
WORK WITH FOREIGNERS 3 
 
 Even before they can read English, they are familiar with the teach- 
 ings of our English philosophers and scientists, Spencer and Darwin. 
 In reading, their interest lies in books of philosophy and socialism 
 that attempt a solution of the social problems through Zionism or 
 some other idealistic form of government. They are a serious peo- 
 ple, (frequently the children ask for sad books for their mothers) 
 with, as some one has aptly said, "the burden of the Ages on their 
 back". 
 
 The immigrant is no barbarian. In fact, when I first took charge 
 of the foreign department at our library, what impressed me most 
 was the unfailing courtesy of my public. He invariably takes time 
 to say "Good morning", and "Thank you", and "Good bye", for he 
 has not yet acquired our American spirit of hurry. He has a keen 
 appreciation of a kindness and a strong desire to reciprocate a kindly 
 act, as is evidenced by gifts to our department. A few weeks ago 
 came sixty volumes in Portuguese from the Portuguese consul. A 
 Yiddish magazine is subscribed for by a Jew for the library. A 
 young Greek gave us a copy of "Pilgrim's Progress" in Modem 
 Greek, which, by the way, he said he had read six times. I wonder 
 how many of us have gone through it once. It is a classic of our 
 literature. He has been in this country two years, in Providence but 
 a few months, and is a constant reader in the department and a 
 book-borrower. 
 
 I might mention, in passing, the facility of these people in acquir- 
 ing languages. An Armenian who does not find anything that inter- 
 ests him in Armenian will almost never turn away without a French 
 book. I noticed with interest two girls and a young man, who could 
 read both French and German besides Armenian, finally choose Ana- 
 tole France's poetry to take home. The other day an Armenian 
 asked for Emerson's "Conduct of Life" in English, and is at present 
 coming to the department during his lunch hour to read it. Many of 
 the better educated Jews will read Russian, Yiddish, and German, 
 anyway, and sometimes French, Italian, and Spanish, too. A young 
 Roumanian Jew about sixteen years old, who has been in America 
 but three months, was reading a simple history of the United States, 
 stories of famous American statesmen, and a geography of the United 
 States in English. 
 
 In the effort to convert our foreign-speaking population into in- 
 telligent American citizens, the public library plainly has a duty to 
 perform, the importance of which should not be undervalued. It is 
 in a position to be one of the most important factors in this process 
 of Americanization here in Southern New England, which is reputed 
 
4 WORK WITH FOREIGNERS 
 
 to be the most foreign section of the country, having cities counting 
 a larger percentage of foreign birth and foreign parentage than New 
 York, Chicago, or San Francisco. According to the Director of the 
 Census, New England, once looked upon as the most essentially 
 American section of the country, now has less than two-fifths of its 
 population consisting of native born of native parentage. The li- 
 brary should be prepared to take the initiative in making friendly 
 advances and in leading these strangers in a strange land, by slow 
 degrees, to an understanding of our language, laws, and customs. 
 This interest and sympathy and friendliness make the stranger feel 
 more at home in his adopted country and establish a new bond of 
 sympathy between him and America. He feels grateful at the recog- 
 nition of his needs and always maintains a delightful attitude toward 
 those who assist him. Those who work with him, who come in con- 
 tact with him, are always enthusiastic over this attitude. 
 
 In the department devoted to this work at our library we have 
 10,000 volumes in fourteen different languages. Each literature is 
 arranged in a separate section, where are the classics for those who 
 will never have time or opportunity to study English and for those 
 who learn to read English laboriously for business purposes only, but 
 who seek their mother tongue for pleasure and inspiration. 
 
 For those who are trying to learn English we have language 
 manuals that teach the English language, inter-lingual grammars 
 that are prepared especially for the adult immigrant with a vocabu- 
 lary of trade that will help him practically in business English that 
 he can make immediate use of. Then there are elementary reading 
 books, for the most part in English, although some are written in 
 the foreign languages, and books on civics that acquaint the Ameri- 
 can in process with the fundamental principles of our government. 
 These books give a short history of America and a few of its heroes, 
 Christopher Columbus, Washington, Lincoln ; they generally include 
 the Declaration of Independence ; and then go on to explain the Fire 
 Department, the Health Department, the Street Cleaning Depart- 
 ment ; — why rubbish must not be thrown into the streets, facts that 
 are so well known to us, but are not understood at all by this new- 
 comer. Such books, that help to interpret the rights of citizenship to 
 these men who may become voters in five years, are being written in 
 some of the foreign languages, but are not keeping pace with the 
 need. As an incentive to the reading of English, we include an illus- 
 trated book of travel that describes the respective countries in Eng- 
 lish under each literature, trusting that the attractive pictures of 
 
WORK WITH FOREIGNERS 5 
 
 their own country, because of their familiarity, will induce them to 
 read the English text that accompanies the pictures. 
 
 Leaflets in five different languages that explain what steps are 
 necessary in order that cards may be obtained and books taken from 
 the library have been prepared at our library. These leaflets state 
 the hours of opening and the rules in simple form and have an at- 
 tractive cut of the library on the front cover. A supply of these is 
 kept at the Registration Desk and when a new card is made out for 
 borrowers of these nationalities one is handed to him. We have 
 used them for advertising the department by distributing them to 
 night schools and clubs, and have found them especially useful in 
 reaching the parent through the child. Very little energy need be 
 expended to attract adults, however, for they come to the library 
 without much effort on our part and they need little attention after 
 they do come, for, as I have tried to prove, they know their own 
 literature better than we do. A small library could take care of 
 many different languages without expert knowledge. It is interesting 
 to note in this connection the following statements in the annual re- 
 ports of two such institutions as the New York Public Library and the 
 Boston Public Library. From the former we quote "The branches 
 with the largest use are nearly all on the East Side of the city, where 
 the foreign born and tenement house population is thickest, indicating 
 the great popularity of thfe library with this part of the community. 
 A study of statistics shows, further, that it is just this part of the 
 population which is making most use of the library for study and 
 reading of scientific, historical, sociological, and philosophical books." 
 And the Boston Public Library finds that the "hunger for books is ) 
 keen and universal among those being made into Americans". 
 
 This leads me directly to a discussion of the aids in book selec- 
 tion that have proved useful to us, a list of which is appended. The 
 great difficulty encountered in making our selection of purchases in 
 foreign literatures is this dearth of reliable book lists, a lack which is 
 being remedied. Aside from the excellent articles in the Encyclo- 
 pedia Britannica under the countries in which one is interested, and 
 in addition to chapters on the literature of a country that are in- 
 cluded in modern books of travel, some of which are mentioned in 
 the list below, an important source of information is the public itself. 
 Situated as we are in a university town, we are peculiarly able to get 
 expert assistance from the superior immigrant. The willingness on 
 the part of readers to assist and be of service in behalf of their fellow- 
 countrymen has been a noticeable feature of our work. A young 
 Russian, whom I well remember poring over his first American news- 
 
6 WORK WITH FOREIGNERS 
 
 paper less than six years ago, who in six months was registered as a 
 sophomore at Brown University, and was graduated with high honors 
 and now occupies a responsible position with the Boston and Maine 
 Railroad, has been of invaluable assistance to us in selecting books 
 and arousing the interest of Russian readers. 
 
 Readers find it a pleasure to review a book for us and are eager 
 to talk about their country and its literature. We have a Portuguese 
 friend, a member of the Royal Geographical Society of Lisbon, who 
 has met many of the literary lights of Portugual. She takes pleasure 
 in talking of them, their personal appearance and literary position, 
 which helps one place them in one's mind to a remarkable degree. 
 She has a personal acquaintance with Camillo Castello Branco and 
 has seen Herculano walk the streets of Lisbon as an old, old man. 
 A Greek youth told me about the editor of an old magazine, for 
 which I haven't had very much respect or interest heretofore, prob- 
 ably on account of its unattractive binding, until he recounted the 
 man's life work and brilliant intellect and personal appearance 
 when he met him at the age of 94. After that the uninteresting 
 old book put on a new face. A young Portuguese working as a 
 bookkeeper in a business that employed rough men turned out to be 
 a poet, whose sensitive ear was offended at our greeting "hullo," and 
 who spoke the English language with a fine sense of its shades of 
 meaning. Upon acquaintance he produced portraits of the King and 
 the Queen Mother, autographed, and modestly explained that he had 
 been one of a committee of university students to greet the King at 
 the time he ascended the throne. It has been an education to me to 
 meet these people. I never realized how narrow had been my 
 knowledge of the literature of the world, until I had read Brandes' 
 book on Poland, and essays on Russian and Portuguese and Swedish 
 literatures. My sensations, I think, must have been similar to those 
 of Keats "On first looking into Chapman's Homer". 
 
 The library co-operates with the night schools, sending them lists 
 of books that will assist both teachers and pupils. But, according to 
 a little handbook published by the local Y. M. C. A., one-fourth of 
 those who cannot speak English in Providence are untouched by the 
 public school. These must be reached by some other means. 
 Stereopticon lectures, wherever they have been tried, have been suc- 
 cessful in meeting large numbers of our new Americans, who show 
 every evidence of interest and appreciation of the various events de- 
 picted. Providence has recently become a port of entry for immi- 
 grants, and coincident with this has arisen the Immigrant Educa- 
 tional Bureau, which is arranging for lectures in foreign languages 
 
WORK WITH FOREIGNERS 7 
 
 ancl in English on such topics as will appeal to the immigrants and 
 will assist them in becoming useful citizens. The outline submitted 
 is most comprehensive. Our lecture room at the library is one of the 
 halls used for these lectures. Here is an opportunity to present by 
 means of the illustrated lecture the history and government of our 
 city, state, and country ; to tell of our local industries ; and to explain 
 our standards of sanitation and hygiene. 
 
 These Americans in the making are remarkably susceptible to 
 the influence of our national life and respond quickly to intelligeat 
 sympathy. That they are easily Americanized is a remarkable and en- 
 couraging fact. In 1911 two thousand eight hundred a day came to our 
 land, desirous of a better opportunity for themselves and their chil- 
 dren to enjoy life. If we are to assimilate the immigrant, we must 
 stretch out the helping hand and welcome him. The initiative must 
 be taken by us. It is our privilege to see that this problem, a prob- 
 lem of such immense importance to the future of our country, is 
 solved aright by helping to make these homesick strangers more con- 
 tented in their new environment, and we can assist in a very definite 
 way in turning them into intelligent, law-abiding American citizens.

 The following lists were compiled by Miss Marguerite Reid of 
 the Providence Public Library, and some additions were [made by 
 Mr. John G. Moulton of the Haverhill Public Library. The 
 aim was not to give complete lists but to suggest material of 
 recent date accessible to the average library. Under "Aids in 
 selecting foreign books" the lists issued by book sellers and libra- 
 ries will in many cases be sent free on application. The list of 
 books on language as furnished by Miss Reid was enlarged from 
 lists of the Haverhill, New York, and Springfield public libraries 
 This list was prepared with the needs of the smaller libraries, 
 in view, and when practicable books for first purchase were in- 
 dicated. Prices quoted are approximately the publisher's prices, 
 and from these usually a discount of 10% may be obtained. 
 
 It is recommended that the smaller libraries should not attempt 
 to import directly through agents in foreign countries but buy 
 through the foreign booksellers in this country. Some of these book- 
 sellers are noted under "Aids in selecting foreign books".

 It is hoped that these lists are free from serious errors. The 
 Secretary, Mr. Moulton, will be glad to receive notice of corrections 
 or additions and will try to answer questions as to selection and pur- 
 chase. If deemed advisable, a list of grammars and dictionaries for 
 studying foreign languages will appear in a later Bulletin.
