MAKING A NEW AMERICAN CITIZEN about the making of an American one, One not altogether Vere ts a little story but a tru ot a very pleasant story typical, but certainly a story to make people think \ s island a Hun which Four years ago there landed alone at I garian Jewish boy of I4—one of the class forms 80 He came in the steer large a part of present day immigration age. He could not speak a word of English ‘ In appearance not much different from hundreds of oth ers who were landing on our shores, this boy—we can call him Morris—had a shrewdness and ambition and keenness and energy that were uncommon He struck blindly but confidently out landing in Chicago, with a few cents in his pocket. into the country, What his earliest hardships must have been, can only be imagined, But within two years he had a good working command of English, | was the owner of a souvenir postal card stand, had brought his older sister over from. Hungary to run it, and had $600 in the bank. That represents some achievement. For Morris was tire less and shrewd. He sold candy and papers and post cards, and bought and sold small articles with a grasp of business principles that would have done credit to a man three times his age. At 16 Morris had married his sister off to a rich fellow countryman who had seen her and admired her, but who was too timid to press his suit. Morris, with an eye to business, quickly brought them together. Then, looking for new worlds to conquer, he sold out his stand, bought a new suit—Amer- ican cut—and started for San Francisco. The western trip didn’t pan ont so well except that it broadened Mofris’ mind and opened up new avenues of en joyment. It was a bad year, and the location he had set up wasn’t well chosen. Still, he had broken even, financially, when he got back to Chicago a year ago But now, wearing good clothes and having lost some of the alertness of speech which had characterized him at first, Morris wasn’t content to settle down in the grind of 18-hour- a-day plugging, of matching his wits for pennies, of painstak- ing progress. He felt the lure of big stakes and casier exis- tence. He went to New York after a month. He cama back to Chicago a month ago. He had lost his savings—or spent them, rather. He had learned to drink, to smoke cigarets and play the races. He spoke with an eastern drawl. “N'Yoik’s the only burg,” he told his friends, contempt- uously, as he languidly rolled a new cigaret. “Chi's a dead wee He was too good to work by now, four years after he had landed. He liked to wear good clothes, and his eyes were fast fixed on the elusive tomorrow, when fortune, through the races or gambling, should claim him for her own He got some money from his rich brother-in-law. But he had to do some work. He fooked for any easy job. He found it, as an usher in a moving picture show. That's what he is doing now. The hours aren't bad. He can wear good clothes. He can meet his friends after hours. He can play the races with al! the money he can earn or coax from his sister’s husband. Morris is looking flashy, almost tough. Aiter his taste of pleasure, avill he ever be content to settle down to the course of life where steady, honorable money is earned? Can he make a new start? It is a question. It is-also a tragedy. Morris has lived in four years the history of three gen- erations—the generation of work, the generation’ of prosper- ity, the generation of decay. —_— Along about the time Francia!
