"The acceptance of the oppressive

THANKSGIVING SUGGESTIONS.
Chance to Spread the Spirit of American.
ism Among Newcomers.

The following suggestions have beer
received from the national council of de,
Tense with reference to Americanization
and suggestions for Thanksgiving:
"A nation declares itself by the man.
ner in which it celebrates its holidays
If foreign born people share and help to
shape celebrations for American holidays
they will understand more quickly and
more spontaneously take for their own
that fusing fire, the American spirit. All
Americanizing agencies are only tending
that fire and trying to bring within its
heat those they would make into Amer
leans. The American spirit says that
all men are comrades. If we are going
to work in its name, we must say so too
and believe it--and live it,
Thanksgiving day is the least public
the most personal, the quietest of our
holidays. As a rule, each of us invites
only his friends TO share in its celebra-
tion, which is a part of his life at home
But it is distinctly and solely American,
and it offers perhaps a better opportu-
nifty than our more boisterous festivals
for the play of that comradeship which
is at the very root of true Amerieanism
If on Thanksgiving day each of us
should invite TO his table someone not
yet familiar with American ways and
do his part, simply and without the faint
of patronage and condescension, in max
ing clear the meaning of the day and the
meaning Of American, Nov. 2s would see
us step farther on the way to solidly
American nation. The president and the
governors will in due time issue the usual
formal proclamations; let us give them
life by myriad little obscure responses
from our hearts.
standing in clear view of the abyss
never have Americans had cause to give
thanks more sincerely Running back
and forth through those two great civil
and military armies that have held and
fought, at home and overseas, are a
thousand sturdy foreign strands that
color and strengthen and shape the warp
and woof Of the nation.
"0nly from Americans can the new
corners catch the American spirit, and
only from Americans who are their
friends can they catch it at its best Let
us hand it on TO them on Thanksgiving
day and at the same time do each of us
his part in the vast and infinitely i'm

America.
