AbstractAn essay forwarding the use of the German language in the United States. "To foster his language and song, to cling to his national customs and traditions with every tendril of his soul, is the most sacred duty developing upon the German-American." ... "Let us hope that this nation may soon proclaim a second declaration of independence, that it may bid a friendly but final farewell to British insularity."
