 ! am more than surprised to see .na' 'ne Poles' in this country are 'ot only living in unity but arc oulldlng monuments to education and l frankly state that all tb,s |. que entirely to the priests and the church, which was undoubtedly the man factor in keeping the neonle 'ose'her. The Poles in America slo'llo feel proud of their spiritua, leaoers and the work started hv l 'heh' and 1t is Up to them to koen | up tue even tenor of this work and | expand. Had it not been for these leaders and the cooperation Of their people The Polish youth in AHerica would not be able to learn ,iie many facts concerning the home land of their fathers. Ii is so,a,, through schools connected with tbe ehurch that they have been able to sa'her goodly knowledge of Po- laho' her history, etc, and believe me When return to Poland v;,, not forget to tell my people that vou nave not forgotten the mother tongue and the history of your fore- fathers' On behalf of the Polish government and the Polish schools extend my heartiest greetings and may your good work continue"
