Book excerpt: Excerpt from Martin County in the World War, 1917-1919 It is not fair to too severely condemn those of our people who have remained more foreign than American. There has been no concerted effort made toward Americanization until the war showed its necessity. Heretofore we have encouraged, rather than discouraged, the grouping of European immi grants into localities where they perpetuated the foreign tongue, the foreign language church, school and customs. Previous to the war there had been no real national spirit. The experiences of the struggle taught us the advantage of one national standard for all. To make better Americans of us all has been the thought and endeavor of all patri otic persons since guns and gas, shot and shell, sub marine sinkings and airplane raids showed us the necessity therefor.
