Begin at the Beginning
Pamphlet advocating for compulsory kindergarten as a means to Americanization. Written by Philander Priestly Claxton, former United States Commissioner of Education, and David Starr Jordan, Chancellor Emeritus, Leland Stanford Junior University. <br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><br />"THE CHILD IS THE FATHER OF THE MAN <br /><br />The way to 'Americanize' foreigners as well as the native born is to commence at the beginning or as near there as possible. The idea of a kindergarten, like that of any other form of garden, is to give proper culture and to give it early, when it is most needed. The most important duty of any people is to care for its children. In the schools of today the future of the nation is written. And to the kindergarten all higher schools must look for the initiative of their work. All other forms of 'national defense' dwindle into impertinent insignificance when compared with the training of the children."
Claxton, P. P.

Why Should the Kindergarten be a Part of the Public School System?
Pamphlet promoting the benefits of adding Friedrich Froebel's Kindergarten curriculum to the public school system. The pamphlet lists six major benefits of kindergarten and expands upon each of thes points with a few paragraphs. <br /><br />"1.

Kindergarten education is motor, and its aim is to develop human power."<br /><br />"4. The Kindergarten furnishes a mental background for the formal study of reading, writing, arithmetic, and geography."<br /><br />"5. The Kindergarten promotes the happiness of children.

The Kindergarten promotes the physical well being of the child."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"Reprinted by kind permission of Kate Baldwin Free Kindergarten Association, Savannah, Ga."<br /><br />[original article by Hortense May Orcutt]

December Bulletin. Americanization As War Service. National American Woman Suffrage Association
<p>Publication of the Americanization Committee of the NAWSA. Grace H. Bagley (Mrs. Frederick P. Bagley), Chairman.<br /><br />Excerpts: <br />p. 1 "SPEAKING ENGLISH IS THE FIRST STEP IN AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP AND THEREFORE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL IS THE NATION-WIDE MEDIUM FOR THE MAKING OF LOYAL AMERICAN CITIZENS OUT OF OUR ALIEN POPULATION."<br /><br />p.2 "PROVIDE FOR THE AMERICANIZATION OF THE IMMIGRANT WOMAN. Can the Americanization of our foreign population succeed without the cooperation of the mother? Past failure is due largely to the fact that no intelligent effort has been made to face the situation of the immigrant woman, who either has an infant in her arms or is expecting a baby..."<br /><br />"PATRIOTIC MEETINGS should be organized and conducted by suffragists in every foreign quarter in the United States. Music stereoptican picutres and speeches in foreign languages should be among the attractions. Learn the art of making these patriotic meetings so attractive that the crowds will have to be shut out instead of coaxed in."</p>
<p>p. 2-3 "AMERICANIZATION AND INDUSTRY. LABOR IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS in the war. We must not only feed, clothe and arm our own soldiers, sailors and civilians; we must also assist our allies. The task would be impossible without our foreign population."</p>

A School of Education For Citizenship
This pamphlet written by Carrier Chapman Catt, Director of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, is advertising for a school of education for citizenship in Chicago. As described by Catt, "the aim of the school is to train women, already equipped with competent knowledge of Civil Government and Political Science, to teach new voters the ideals of American Citizenship, the processes of registering and casting a vote, the methods of making nominations and platforms, the nature of political parties, and the best ways of using a vote to get what they want, and to effect the general welfare of our people." The proposed educational program took place in Chicago's Auditorium Recital Hall from Thursday, February 19th - Wednesday[sic], February 26th under the auspices of the National American Woman Suffrage Association.
