IGE TWO 7 GIVES PRAISE FOR PART IN | BUILDING U. S. (Continued from page one) and their country, We are thankful for all of them, and yet more thank- | ful that the experiment of their! com citizenship has been so mag- nificently justified in its results. If| ane were seeking proof of a basi brotherhood among all races of men,| if one were to challenge the riddle | of Babel in support of aspirations | pable of assuring peace | to the nations, in such an inquiry Ij suppose no better testimony could be taken than the experience of this country, Out of the confusion of tongues, the conflict of traditions; the variations of historical setting, the vast differences in talents and | tastes’ there has been evolved a} spiritual union accompanied by a range of capacity and genius which marks this Nation for a preeminent destiny. The American veople have commanded the respect of the world. It good thing that anniver- | saries such as this are so widely commemorated. The next few years | will be filled with a continuing suc- | nilar oc T wish | y one of them might be essively celebrated that all Am cans would be moved to study th ory which each one represents I can think of no effort that would | produce so much inspiration to high | and intelligent patriotism. Occa- | siong of this nature bring to our at tention whole regions of the past that would othe remain unex- pl&ed, tend to be forgotten even by scHolars, and pass entirely from the| public mind. These incentives to special examination of particular! historical phases teach us better to| our country a our| y Any one who will stu-! ly the institutions and people of | America will come more and more to | admire them | A Human Story | One reason that moved me to ac-| cept the cordial invitations to come! e today was the hope of direct- | ing some measure of national atten- tion to the absorbingly interesting | subject of the social backgrounds of | our country. The making of such « country ix not be told in any mere | category of dates, battles, political evolutions, and partisan controver- ies. Back of all these, which are| to@ often the chief material of his-| tory, lies the human story of the unsung millions of plain people whose names are strangers to public place and fame. Their lives have been replete with quiet, unpretentious, modest but none the less heroic vir- tues. From these has been com- posed the sum of that magnificent and wondrous adventure, the making of our own America. Somewhere in| the epic of struggle to subjugate a continent there will be found a phil- osophy of human relations that the world will greatly prize. If we could! seize and fix it, if we could turn it over, examine and understand it, we would have taken a long step toward solving some of the hardest prob- lems of mankind. It is not so many years since vis- itors from other quarters of the world were wont to contemplate our concsurse of races, origins, and in-| terests, and shake their heads omin. ously, They feared that from suc! a smelting pot of diverse elements! we could never dr. the tested, tempered metal that is the only sub- stahee for national character. Even among ourselves were many who ligtened with serious concern to such forebodings. They were not quite sure whether we had created a na- tion with the soul of a nation. They wondered if perhaps we had merely | vrought together a large number of | people in a large place. Had these | misgivings been justified when the hour of trial came, it would have imeant disaster to us and to the world. But instead of crumbling into a chaos of discordant elements, America proved its truly national unity. It demonstrated conclusively that there is a spiritual quality shared by all races and conditions bf men which js their universal heritage and common nature. ‘Power ful enough to hold this people to high ideal in time of supreme trial, Why may we not hope that the same influence will at length reach men and women wherever they are found | On earth? If fraternity and coop-, gration are possible on the scale of this continent among people so wide- ly diverse, why not on the scale of @ world? ‘It is not a new thought, but it is a profoundly engaging one. I firmly believe it is more than a| thimera. I feel it is possible of Tealization. I am convinced that our pational story might somewhat help to guide mankind toward such a goal. Therefore, I urge the deeply thoughtful study and teaching of 6ur history. Guideposts on the Way No country has a history which Starts with its discovery or at. its boundaries. For the real beginnings @f any people we must go back to the beginnings of all peoples. From the fombs of Egypt and the sands of} lesopotamia men are now unearth- ing the records of civilizations so Gncient that by comparison we think 6f the recovered wonders of Carth- age as almost modern. But all that We shall learn from the glvohs of Ur, the tombs of the Pharaohs, and the monuments of Crete and Carth- ge is part of our own history, il- lumination for our todays, guide- gosts on the way to our to-morrows. Ri the past lives in the present. All the works and thoughts of those Who have gone before have left their mark on what we think and do. These Norsemen whose beginnings ih the United States we here cele- hrate have exercised a great influ- @mce upon our modern history and Western civilization which it is dif- ficult to match among any other Bke number of people. In many Ways their influence upon northern and western Europe mav be com- ted to that of the Greek states pon the civilization, of the Mediter- mean. They were the first deen- sea navigators. They pioneered the fgrations which boldly struck Biot the western waters. Theyj Were at onct the terrors of the West- n Roman Empire and the guardians the Eastern. Thé medieval Medi- ferranean was a happy. hupting ound for them. They branded ‘their me upon French Normandy, and from it descended upon Britain in ipo Norman conquest from which ere was the beginning of modern English history, But even before William of Nor- andy had conquered at Hastings, lef the son of Erik, near 500 years ‘ore Columbus appears to “have found the New World. Indeed. there gems little doubt that several cen- ries before Columbus saw t of day there was born’ upon erican soil, of Norse parents, a y who afterward became so great mathematician and astronomer that js studies may have contributed juch to the’ fund of owledge jich helped Columbus formulate his sion of the world as we know it,| ong the fascinating chapters in [a very ‘have come the {having practically no money, bought repositories of ancient culture in a world whose lamp of learning seeni ed near to flickering out. We hav long known of the noble Tcelandic literature which was produced during | those generations of the intellectual | twilight; but we know too little of the part which Iceland performed as| an outpost of the sturdy northern culture in bridging over the gulf of darkness between the ancient and} modern eras of history. | These sons of Thor and Odin and the great free North shape them- selves in the mind's eye as very| princes of high and hardy adven- ture. From Norway to Iceland, from Iceland to Greenland, from Greenland to the mainland, step by p they worked their way across the north Atlantic. They found the western ocean, and it was a Norseman‘ who first ‘traversed Bering demonstrated that there w connection between Asia America. One wonders whither these | Nerthmen would turn for adventure if the earth should ever be so co: pletely charted that exploration of- fered no more challenges. Within | few years one of them first traversed the northwest passage from | Atlantic to Pacific; and the same one, Amundsen, carried the flag of Norway to the South Pole; and now, within a few days past, he has been | the first to make large explorations in the region of the North Pole in| n airplane, tempting a fate which, us I write, is unknown, One likes to linger over of adventure and explor of them has a special in connection with this celebration which entitles it to more par referen: This, of cour: voyage of the little sloop rationen, which in 1825 brought the first organized party of Norwegia immvigra to this country. One reared on the New England tradition of the Mayflower will find all the materials for a new legend of pio- neering in the vo of the Re taurationen. She was a sloop of 45 tons, whereas the Mayflower was rated as 180 tons. The Restauration- en sailed on Ju these tales One ; perate heavy cargo of iron and a party of 52 people. She came safely into the port of New York after a voyage of , 14 weeks, which com with 9} weeks required for the historic pas: age of the Mayflower. Arrival of Restaurationen The arrival of the Restaurationen created a sensation among inured to the sea, It was claimed | that she was the smallest ves that had ever made the tran: tic crossing. The New York author- ities threatened to deny her the ileges of the port on the ground carried too many passen- and too much cargo. She ultimately released, ap through the influence of the $ of Friends. Most of her passengers seemed to have been members of a Norwegian religious community in- related to the Quakers, and it appears that one of their reasons for coming to this country was that! they had not enjoyed entire liberty of religious opinion at home. Thus the parallel between the voyages of the Mayflower and of the Restau- rationen, despite that they ere eparated more than 200 y impressive in several i. Almost without money or supplies, the little company of immigrants vere taken in charge of the New York Quakers who raised funds to send them to Kendall, Orleans County, N. Y. There they secured lands and established the first Nor-} wegian settlement in this countr: It a curious circumstance that though the Norwegians are among the greatest seafaring peoples, this party was composed almost entire of farmers, so that their first inter- est was to get land. And ever since, the greater share of Norwegians in search of homes on land. These first immigrants tract on the shore of Lake On- tario for $5 per acre to be paid for in 10 annual installments. It is hard; to realize that western New York so late as 1825 was so far on the fron- tier. Their land was heavily timber- and they were compelled not to clear it but to build their own shelter. The first house is said | to have been a log cabin of 12 feet| square with a garret. In this 24 of | them lived for a time, the men seek- | ing such scanty employment as was to be found in the neighborhood to support them through the winter. The only one in the party who could speak English was Capt. Lars Olson and he had remained in New York. Colony Thrived Despite poverty and hardships, the colony thrived, and its members were shortly writing letters back to Norway describing the opportunities | a and urging friends to From thi. beginning the stream of Norwegian immigration set in, but most of the later comers | went much farther west. A few years after the settlement at Ken- jdall another party went to La Salle | y, Ill. Already the west. was| i and many of the| original Kendall colony sold out and went on to Illinois.. Thence the mi gration spread to other States of the! middle west and northwest. Even] before it was formed into a Ter tory, Iowa had received its fi Norwegian? and from about 1 they spread rapidly into Wisco: Minnesota, the Dakotas and States. It is not possible, as it is certain- ly not needful on this occasion, even to summarize the story of Norwegian immigration. But it should be ex- plained that while the settlement of 1825 in Orleans County, N. Y., was! the first Norwegian settlement and | represented the first organized im- migration, these pioneers of th Restaurationen were not the fi Norwegians to come here. Consid- erable numbers had come even before the Revolutionary War and some as far back as the earliest colonial years, There were Norwegians in both Army and Navy during the Revolution and the War of 1812. But the, fact remains that the great move- ment which established Norwegian | communities all over the northwest and contributed so greatly to the| building of that part of the country began with the voyage of the Res. taurationen. It is said that Nor- wegians and their descendants in| this country are now just about as| numerous as the population of Nor- way itself. Norway is credited with furnishing a larger number of set- tlers to the United States in propor- tion to its population than any other | European country except one. It is frequently noted regarding immigration that the newcomers from Europe commonly sought climatic! conditions here like those in which they had been raised. So the Scan- dinavians’ are found chiefly in the northern parts of this country. About 80 per cent of the population of Nor-| way is agricultural, the remainder | maritime and industrial. These pro- portions are closely carried out ii the occupational distribution. here. A‘ great majority sought the land, but considerable numbers have always followed the |.

The | colonizing countries of Europe com- peted to control the best parts of the New World by occupying it with} their colonies. Immigration was en- couraged both by the Governments| and by companies of merchant ad- venturers. At that stage of the movement, of course, the colonies| possessed no wealth to help their| friends to come. But after the Rev-| olution the situ tly chan-| ged. New politica ons made this country more ive than before, and de ig wealth opportunity emphasized its in- vitation. So we find the people of deliberately and con- sciously encouraging the movement in this direction. There is oppor- tunity for a much more detailed ex- mination of these fi in the European migration than ‘has yet been undertaken. It would be a profoundly interesting contribution | to the story of this greatest of all migrations that humanity ever | accomplished if we could know more precise motives which have animated it. Their Contribution The contribution of this country to financing immigration of the last century and a tl certainly run into hundreds of millions of dolla perhaps into billions. It has had : profound social influence, both here and in Europe. Its economic con- sequences could hardly be overesti- mated. A detailed inquiry into these facts should include a ciose consid- eration of all the great migrations which have marked the distribution men throughout the world. Man have been from his begin- most mig an earlier. mo} ppear had their chie e in ire to find the existence was most There could — hardly have been a very serious pressure of population, for it is only in recent historie times that this factor has existed. Some very carly migrations were doubtless due to climatic or| other physical conditions. r on political, social religious. and eco-| nomie reasons caused the ments. Some went forth to make conquests, others were driven out by conquest. The children of Israel migrated into Egypt to escape from famine. TMey left Egypt to escape from bondage and to\recover their teligious liberty. The old Romans| and Phoenicians were great colon- izers, the Romans from imperialis- tue motives and the Phoenicians from desire to extend their trade. The European migration to the Am- ican Continent represented in its various phases alk the causes that have operated through the ages to bring about such shifts of popula- tion. In the beginning there was chiefly the motive of exploration and adventure. Later came the de- sire to be freed from onerous cleri- cal or political restrictions. Then, with, the realization of America’s enormous resources, there was the wish to share in its developing rich- es. Only in the later stages of the movement did the people of this country reach their hand of welcome to the friends across the Atlantic, both urging and assisting them to come. Though I make no pretense to deep studies in the subject, yet I have been impressed that in this last re- gard the shift of Old-World peoples to this side of-the Atlantic was per- haps. unique.

But it does not appear that this new co ception of American destiny began in any important way to be shared in Europe until the Revolution, in- dependence and the establishment of the Federal Government forced it upon the countries. hen a began to fix itself in the mind. The new country as an essentially vitally, lly different tonception of hu- relationships. It appeared not merely a new country, but as a different kind of count It w considered not only different fro Europe, but different from any lier social creations. ‘The European peoples had been greatly stirred by the intellectual awakening of the eighteenth century, znd the liberals mong them had been deeply dis- appointed at the seeming meager results which accrued from it. We may well wonder what would ha been the fate of Europe after 1815, if the liberalism of both ‘England and the Continent had settled down to disappointment and cynicism. We can not doubt that during this pe iod, say from 1815 to 1848, the beacon which they saw had been lighted oyer the western Atlantic was a lamp to the feet and a hope to the h of liberals throughout Europe. Within this period immigration from the north and west, of Europe was not only rapidly building this country into numbers, wealth, and authority in the world, but it was having a tremendous reflex upon Surope itself. But for American example and influence the demo tic movements of 1832 and 1848 in idrope might have been long post- poned. The broadly democratic evo- lution which swayed Europe so great-| ly in the latter half of the nin teenth century might have failed en- tirely. In the period we have been dis- cussing nearly all the immigration to the United States was from north- ern and western Europe. Through its reactions ufion Europe it gave constant encouragement there to lib- eral thought and action. In this| country, by gradually giving the North a great preponderance _ in numbers, it hastened the downfall of slavery and helped rid our in- stitutions of that great and threat- ening anomaly. These Northmen, one of anniversaries we are celebrating to- day, have from their first appear- ance on the margin of history been the children of freedom. Native to a rigorous climate and a none too productive soil, they had learned the necessity for hard work and careful management. They were moved by that aspiration for a free holding in the land which has always marked peoples in whom the democratic ideal was pressing for reeognition. Eager for both political and econom- ie independence, they realized the necessity for popular education, and so have always been among the most devoted supporters of public schools. Thousands of them volunteered in the service of the country during the Civil and Spanish Wars, and tens of thousands in the World War.
