for $50 years but their freedom
was regained at the end of the
18th century. At this time
a new danger threatened
their enjoyment. In their
struggle against the Turks
they enlisted the assistance of
the neighboring Habsburg
empire. This meant that the
Habsburgs became emperors
of Hungary. This resulted in
the Habsburgs endeavorillg to
centralize and merge Hungary
into the Austrian empire.
Hungary struggled against
this new threat to her freedom
from the end of the 18th CEN
tury to 1848. In final de-
spair the whole nation and
only the intervention of Rus
sian support broke the Hun
garian resistance.
After the rising of 1848
was crushed, a twofold task
taxed all the political acumen
of Hungary; first, to safe
guard the independence of
the Hungarian national state,
and second, to harmonic the
Hungarian national interest
with the interest of the Habs-
burg empire.
The Compromise of 1867
was the solution of this task
and it remained in force until
1918. BY this Compromise a
dualistic system of government
was established guaranteeing
political, cultural, and relig-
ious freedom to the Kingdom
of Hungary.

HUNGARIAN RADIO

"Some of the highlights of
Hungarian history were given
briefly on the Hungarian radio
program on May 27. DR.. E.
Laurisin was the announcer
and the following is his talk
on Hungary:
How Much Do You Know
About Hungary and the
Hungarians?
The history of Hungary is
rich, replete with stirring
events, heroic deeds and &C
complishments. Her strategic
position on the threshold of
Europe put her over on the
defensive against foreign
domination. The constant
warfare and the separation
from the flux of European af-
fairs hindered her develop
ment.
First, against the German
izing tendencies Of the great
medieval EN- mperors, which
threatened the absorption of a
small race, the extinction of
its national characteristics, of
it's language, and institutions.
Again in the thirteenth
century they defended their
freedom against the Tartars
who We're bent upon the con-
quest of not only Hungary but
also of Europe.
When in the early 10th
century the Turks decided
upon their European con-
quest, Hungary unhesitatingly
threw herself in the path OF
the mighty Ottoman forces,
The foreign occupation lasted

rian with their parents. In
such families life is much more
harmonious for a while
only! AS long as the children
are small, and still going to
school the family circle is
happy, the little ones speak
Hungarian at home, and Eng
lish in school. Gradually they
become conscious of this dual
life, and as they get older they
begin resenting it unconscious
ly. My younger readers will
bear out the correctness of this
observation. They will try to
talk English to their parents,
and as they slowly realize
that there is no use trying
they become discouraged, and
Inundated.
I know that 1 am deeply
hurting the susceptibilities of
parent and child alike when
I say that many of these
children will become ashamed
of the fact that their parents
cannot speak English, or
speak it very poorly. But this
is the truth, and unless we
see the facts plainly we COM
nit a grave error. Now, as the
truth begins to dawn on these
youngsters they will become
terribly conscious of the short
coming of their parents. ms
tead of being kindly and help
full to them they will hide the
old folks, and become actually
ashamed of them when in pub
lie, in a store or similar places.
What the effect Of this treat
ment can be on the older ones
is easy to see.
Soon they will be put in
their place, and kept quiet
when there is company at
home, silenced, made un-
necessary - after they raised
the children who re-educate
their parents as they grow up.
This is only part of the trouble
the linguistic difference is
creating within the family,
and for a Qualification of the
problem of the Second &C.
neration" we shall continue
this painful but extremely i'm
portant subject.

The SECOND
GENERA

AS I have been suggested to
write in English, I gladly
grasp this opportunity, and
am beginning a very short Sc
ries of articles on the problems
of our most difficult and neg
lected Second Generation.
I said: neglected, and I feel
that is correct from the stand
point of the immigrant family
itself in the first place. It is
generally known how little the
average parents can do for
their children, in directing
them, in aiding them in their
ever increasing difficulties as
they are getting older, and
meet the broadening impact of
life. First is adolescence which
strikes at youth with the force
of an almost insoluble problem.
After this follow the tasks of
getting a job or learning a
vocation, and then the found
ing of a family of their own.
Whether it be a boy or a girl
who is facing these questions
they can rarely find guidance
with their parents. Unless they
follow the parents work, the
old folks are hardly competent
advising them. If a boy takes
up his fathers vocation, he
might learn newer methods
which his father does not
know, and might criticise. So,
here we are, growing up within
a family and not being able
to get all the benefits that
should be gotten out of the
experience of the elders! And
through all the years of home
life the child goes to school
without his parents knowing
what their children learn
what influence are shaping
their lives.
This, really is a tragic ST.
tuation, and to make it worse
there is little remedy seen.
Now, some peole might think,
young or old ones, that I am
looking at this from the wrong
viewpoint, and am too pessi-
mistic. I don't think so.
Let us take up, what seems
to me the first important
obstacle in the parent-child
relation in the average i'm
migrant, Hungarian family
(the word: Hungarian could
be well left out), the language.
The children do not speak
their parents language per
fectly as a rule, and quite
often they don't speak it at
all. In this latter case there
is increasing difficulty in un-
derstanding each other, and
as the children feel that
English is a superior language,
they don't listen much to the
parents suggestions. To en-
phasize his words, the father
usually raises his voice in a
rather un-american manner, a
quarrel is started which does
not clear up matters but
leaves a bad taste behind.
Instead of understanding, and
unity come disagreement, and
hurt feelings. I don't want to
make the impression that this
is the usual course of events,
but I do say that such things
happen only too often. 1t is
