The German immigrants are preserving, even in their new surroundings and changed living conditions, their characteristics, which have been inherited and intensified through the slow flow of a stabilized economic system in their old country. They carry this element of stability into the hasty flow of American developments, which otherwise would block safe progress. Furthermore, German honesty cannot be underestimated as a powerful counterweight in American politics, which have spoiled more or less our present generation in this country.

Finally, the achievements of German science, art and education, brought over through German immigration, are representing a valuable contribution towards the intellectual life of this nation.
