ABSTRACT
The newcomers in the United States figured significantly only as so much cheap labor-power, not as sentient men and women with temperaments, histories and hungers, settling down as neighbors in the house next door, to make a life as well as a living. They remained in their own communities, with their churches as the focus of the common life, and their "Americanization" consisted of their compenetration into the country's economic and political pattern, and of that alone. The Americanization policy of both the Service citizens of Delaware and the State Board of Education has been a frank recognition that even the aliens have 'certain inalienable rights'. If then cultural history and the American present are any index, the cultural prospect has been enriched, not depleted by the immigration, settlement, and self-maintenance in communities of the peoples of all Europe upon the North American continent.
