PREFACE
The justification and aim of this volume may
be stated in the following words: To present
to the non-English-speaking people, by a simple
and practical method, the fundamentals of the
English language, in order that they may be
able to communicate with the people with whom
they come in contact in their daily lives; to
present to the foreigner the history and develop-
ment of the American nation, in order that he
may appreciate fully its value; to present to the
■foreigner the form of government of his adopted
country, in order that he may vote intelligently.
The need of a volume that will fulfil this pur-
pose by a condensed but comprehensible method
is felt both by the teacher and by the foreigner.
The former is confronted with the problem of
how to teach the foreigner, and of what system
to follow. The latter, seeing the apparent diffi-
culty with which the English language is mas-
tered, gives up all hope of learning the speech
of his adopted country.
With an experience of several years as a
teacher of the English language to foreigners,
the author has devised a system that has been
given a thorough test in his class-room for fqur
years. The results obtained by the students-
have proved the good success of the system.
The book is divided into five parts, arranged
VI PREFACE
in such a way that it can be completed by the
end of a school year in an evening school. A
student who has carefully learned every lesson
will be able to read, speak, and write the essen-
tials of the English language with considerable
ease.
Part I attempts to present to the student the
correct pronunciation of the English language.
The different sounds and combinations of the
alphabet, with special drill in words containing
the different letters, are studied carefully. The
exercises at the end of Part I afford an oppor-
tunity for further practice in reading and correct
pronunciation.
This part having been completed, the student
is able to get the approximate, if not the correct,
pronunciation of every word in the English
language.
He is now ready to^take up the most important
principles of grammar, in order that he may
speak and write correctly. Part II attempts to
present the essentials of grammar by a simple
and practical method. Rules and principles
are taken up in a simple but effective way, and
technical terms are avoided without any loss to
the student. Every part of speech, especially
the verb, is simplified, and can be learned in a
short time.
The ability to read and write correctly having
been acquired, the student is now ready to en-
large his vocabulary. What words is he going
PREFACE Vil
to learn? In the case of an immigrant, who
toils from morning until night, he needs words
that are in every-day, common use, words that
are used in his work. Part III attempts by
means of dialogues, to pres'ent to the student a
working vocabulary. Desultory and meaning-
less sentences are avoided. The order of con-
versation is natural and logical, thus leaving a
strong impression upon the mind of the student.
Each dialogue is preceded by a list of words
used in connection with the subject chosen. In
the "Grocery Store", for example, the names of
most of the articles in the grocery store are
listed, and later are used in conversation. The
same system is used- with all the dialogues,
covering almost every phase of life. With the
knowledge acquired in the two preceding Parts,
and with a little study of each dialogue, the
student should have no difficulty in understand-
ing others or in making himself understood. It
should be kept in mind, however, that the dia-
logues are by no means complete, but should
serve as a motive for further conversation.
Having learned how to read, speak, and write,
the student is now ready to go further, that is,
to read for valuable information. What more
important and more interesting subject is there
than that of history and government? A knowl-
edge of it means progress in the country; ignor-
ance of it means deterioration of the country.
Part IV attempts to present in simple language
the growth and development, as well as the
VUl PREFACE
present form of government, of the American
nation. Suggestions are given to the new comer ;
the difficulties and opportunities met with in
this land are shown to him; how to improve his
condition, how to serve his adopted country.
The national, state, and municipal governments
are studied by means of easy lessons, maps,
diagrams, and tables. Facts about naturaliza-
tion, information necessary before obtaining the
certificate of American citizenship, and questions
and answers on the requirements for admission
to citizenship, are presented in a ' simple and
practical way. Moreover, Part IV serves for
further study of the English language; reading,
writing, and conversation can be developed from
it.
Part V includes the words used in the entire
book, with their simplified pronunciation, and
their translation into German, French, Italian,
Spanish, Greek, and Yiddish.
The author takes great pleasure in acknowl-
edging his indebtedness to Professor George M.
Chase of Bates College for reading portions of
the manuscript and for his many V9,luable sug-
gestions; and to Professor R. R. N. Gould for
reading a portion of the manuscript.
The author wishes to thank Miss Harriet W.
Marr, Mr. Vincent Gatto, Mr. Costas Stephanis,
for their many helpful suggestions.
Finally, and above all, the author wishes to
recognize the unceasing service rendered by Miss
Mabel E. Marr, Assistant Librarian at Bates
PREFACE IX
College. From beginning to end, she has en-
couraged the work, ofifered many helpful criti-
cisms, read and arranged the manuscript and
assisted in preparing it for publication. To this
help the cofnpletion of this volume is due.
In conclusion, it is a great pleasure to ac-
knowledge the ability and courtesy of the Rein
& Sons Company in carrying "out the plans of
the author.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE
TEACHER
1. Examine the book carefully and see what
is in it.
2. Become interested in your subject and in
your class. Have something definite to
give to your students every evening.
3. Be patient with your students. Remember
that the average student in an evening
school class is advanced in age. More-
over, remember that learning a foreign
language is not an easy task.
4. To arouse the interest of your class, show,
as an introduction to your course, the
value and importance of the English
language ; what part it plays in the busi-
ness of the world, and of what value it
will be to the students after they learn to
speak it. The English language is com-
ing to be a universal language, and there-
fore its importance is evident.
5. Use nothing but English in class.
6. Remember that imitation and practice are
necessary in legirning a language. The
ear and the eye should be trained.
7. Divide the time allotted into three pe-
riods — treading, writing, knd conversa-
tion. One-half of the time should be
spent in conversation, in connection with
which special attention shotild be paid
XIV SUGGESTIONS TO THE TEACHER
to correct and idiomatic English. Prog-
ress in conversation encourages the stu-
dent greatly.
8. One-fourth of the time should be spent in
reading, in connection with which special
attention should be paid to pronunciation.
9. The remaining fourth of the time should be
spent in writing, in connection with
which special attention should be paid
to spelling.
10. Teaph the student how to use a dictionary
with the least effort, and with the least
loss of time. Ask the students to procure
a vest-pocket dictionary, if possible.
11. Ask the students to learn a definite number
of new words every evening.
12. Never use words that the students do not
understand. To be able to understand
you is a great encouragement to the stu-
dents.
13. Read the lesson slowly and distinctly be-
fore you ask the students to read it.
14. In conversation, avoid "yes" or "no" for
answers. Remember that your questions
are not asked for the sake of information,
but for the sake of conversation. There-
fore demand complete sentences.
15. Give the students something to write,
either from dictation, or by assigning a
certain topic. Letter writing should be
taken up later in the course.
16. Do not spend all your time on one subject.
It may grow monotonous, and therefore.
SUGGESTIONS TO THE TEACHER XV
uninteresting. Be careful especially in
using the Guide to Pronunciation, or the
Grammar. Except in conversation, do
not spend more than thirty minutes on
any one subject in one evening.
17. Do not pile up too much work. Give time
to the students to learn each lesson
thoroughly.
18. A review of the previous lesson will be very
helpful.
19. Ask the student to procure a small note-
book in which he can put all the new
words that he learns.
20. Although the grammar should be made
practical, a certain amount of drill on
various" forms is necessary.
21. The list of words preceding each dialogue
in Part III should be mastered thoroughly
by the student. They are words that are
used in every-day speech, and therefore
they are necessary for conversation.
22. The. dialogues in Part III are by no means
complete. They should serve as a motive
for further conversation.
23. In connection with the History and Govern-
ment lessons, avoid using technical terms.
Make the lessons practical and interest-
ing. Put a great deal of emphasis on the
local government.
24. Part IV, "History and Government,"
should be used not only for information,
but also for further study of the English
language. There is abundant material
XVI SUGGESTIONS TO THE TEACHER
in this part for reading, writing, and con-
versation.
25. At the end of Part IV will be found "Ques-
tions on Requirements for American
Citizenship." Having mastered the an-
swers to these questions, the student
should have no trouble in obtaining his
certificate of citizenship.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE TEACHER
The teacher should, from time to time, put
easy selections on the board, and let the stu-
dents read them. In this way, practice in read-
ing is acquired. The teacher in these exercises
shotdd pay more attention to the pronunciation
than to the meaning of words. The rules of
pronunciation taught in the previous lessons
should be put in practice while these exercises
are read.

the plural of any noun by putting words on the
blackboard and then asking the students to form
the plural. Rules derived from the above head-
ings should be mastered thoroughly by the

like many other languages, proper names do
25
not take an article before them. Explain the
gender of nouns.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE TEACHER.
Explain the use of the adjective and its position.
The students should know that, unlike many
other languages, the adjectives in English have
no inflection for number, case, or gender. The
three degrees of comparison, and how to form
them, should be explained thoroughly to the
students. Adjectives should be put on the board,
and the students should be asked to form the
comparative and superlative. The use of "than"
should be explained. Show when to use "er,"
"est," and when to use "r," "st," when to use
"more," "most," "less," "least." The adjectives
compared irregularly should be committed to
memory.

difference between "shall" and "will" may be
shown later. Do not confuse the students with
the subjunctive mood, past perfect, future per-
fect, and other tenses that are not necessary,
and are difficult for the beginner to use. Use
orily the present, the past, the future, the present
perfect, the imperative, infinitive, and participle.
A list of the most important irregular verbs will
be found elsewhere in this book. The student
should learn five irregular verbs every day.

Electric lights, heat, bath, and use of telephone.
To let, tenement of five rooms, with all modern
improvements, pantry, bath, hardwoo(i floors,

Will you please tell me where I can find the
janitor?
Yes, he lives upstairs on the second floor. ,
His name is Mr. Cook.
Good afternoon. Is this Mr. Cook?
Yes, this is Mr. Cook.
I read in to-day's paper that you have some
furnished rooms to rent. May I see them?
Yes, come right in. This is one of the rooms.
We charge for this two and a half dollars a
week. It is a front room and well ftirnished.
Let me show you the other room. This is one
dollar and seventy-five cents a week. It isn't a
front room, but you get the sun all the after-
noon, and you have just as many conveniences
as in the other room.
How is the room heated?
75
There is no steam heat on this floor, but you
can heat the room with gas.
Have you any rooms to let on the first floor?
Yes, I have one, but I am afraid the rent will
be too high for you.
Will you please let me. see the room on the
first floor?
Come, we will go downstairs to see it. This
is the room. The rent is three dollars and
•twenty-five cents a week, but you have the use
of the parlor. You can receive visitors in the
parlor. You have the use of the piano and of
the telephone. Here is a closet for your clothes.
How is the room lighted?
It is lighted with electricity, and is heated with
steam heat. Do you think you can afford to
pay three dollars and twenty-five cents for your
room? The room is large enough for two. If
you can- get one of your friends to room with
you, the rent will not be so high.
How much do you charge when two persons
have the room?
The rent for two is four dollars.
If I can find some one else to room with me,
I will have this room, but if I can't find any-
body, I am afraid I shall have to look around
for another room.
Wotold you like to have a room on the third
floor? I have one room that you can have for
one dollar and twenty-flve cents. It isn't a very
large room, but it is pleasant and comfortable.
Let me see the room, please.
Here it is. It is not fixed yet, but I shall
76
have it ready by this afternoon. I have to
bring in the furniture from downstairs. There
are no electric lights in this room. You have to
use a lamp. You heat the room with gas.
Can you give me a double bed? I cannot
sleep in a single bed.
I haven't any other bed now, but if you wait
a day or two, I can give you a double one.
I would like to have one more pillow, a bureau,
two window-shades, and a blanket.
Very well, I will have them ready this after-
noon. Here is the key to the room. This key
here opens the front door downstairs.
Shall I pay the rent now?
Yes, please. I like to have the rent paid in
advance. Thank you. May I know what
your name is?
My name is George Brett. I work in the
Olivet shoe-factory.
Good morning, George. I want to rent a
house, and I don't know where to look for it.
Do you know of anyone who wants to let a
house?
Do you want to rent a whole house, or a floor?
Well, I don't know yet. I would like to rent
a whole house if I can, but, of course, I may have
to rent a flat.
I don't know of anyone who wants to rent a
house now, but .we can look in to-day's paper
and see if we can find one. Sometimes you find
a good house through the paper. Here is the
advertisement page. To let. Here is a tene-
ment of five rooms on Chapel Street. Another
■77
one of fotir rooms on Spring Street. There is
another tenement of seven rooms on Spruce
Street. Do you like any one of these? The
tenement on Spring Street ought to be a good one.
I don't like that. It is too small. We are a
family of six, and need a large house. The tene-
ment on Spruce Street may be a good one. I
like the location, too. I will go and see it. Good-
bye, George. Thank you for your help.
Is this the landlady?
Yes, this is Mrs. Brown, the landlady.
I saw in the paper that you wish to rent a
tenement in this house.
Yes, I have a tenement here. Come right in,
and let us go up and see it. There are seven
rooms in all, a dining-room, a parlor, three bed-
rooms, a bath-room and a kitchen. You have
all the conveniences here. Electric lights, steam
heat, hot water, hardwood floors, bath, window-
shades, a large shed in the yard, and you can
use part of the cellar if you wish. Every room
is clean, free of bedbugs, and well lighted.
How much do you charge for rent?
The rent is eighteen dollars a month.
Very well, Mrs. Brown. This tenement suits
me. When can I move in?
You can move any time to-morrow. The
rooms will be ready this afternoon.
What is the arrangement abput the rent?
The rent must be paid in advance on the
first day of every month. You can pay now or
you may pay when you move in to-morrow.
I have not enough money with me to pay you
to-day, but I will pay you to-morrow.

IN THE CLOTHING STORE.
We buy our clothes from the clothing store.
I always buy. ready-made suits. You can buy
them cheaper.
Perhaps you are right, but I never liked a
ready-made suit. I always have a suit made

to order, but they fit you better, and last longer.
They are made carefully, and the lining is better.
I had a suit made to order three years ago, and
I have it yet. No ready-made suits for me.

can't spare the money now. I think I shall

THE RAILROAD.
I am a stranger in this city. I don't know
where I am now. I can't leave town unless I
know where the railroad station is. There is a
policeman. I am going to find out from him.
Will you please tell me where the depot is?
We have three railroad stations in this town.
Where do you want to go?
I want to go to Boston.
You can't take a train to Boston before four
o'clock. You just missed the ten-thirty train.
Don't you have a time-table with you?
No, I have no time-table with me. Do you
know where I can get one?
Let us go to that hotel there, and see if they
have one. Oh, I forgot; you'll find the time-
table in the morning paper.
I have a morning paper here.
Let us see. Train service from Spring Street
116
station. There is a train for Boston at 6.55
a. m., express; at 9.55 a. m., local; at 10.30
a. m., express; at 12.10 p. m., local; at 4.03
p. m., express for Boston.
I think I'll wait and take the four- three train
this afternoon. How can I reach the station
from here?
Take the Orchard car from here ; ask the con-
ductor to give you a transfer for Spring Street.
Get off at the comer of High and Spring Streets.
Take a Spring Street car, and that will take
you to the depot.
Thank you very much.
Welcome, sir.
Spring Street station. Here it is. At last I
have found it. I have no time to lose. I must
buy my ticket, check my trunk, and have some-
thing to eat before I go. What time does the
next train leave for Boston?
At four- three.
Let me have one ticket.
Three dollars and ten cents.
I wonder if my trunk is here. Oh, here it is.
I must check it. Check this trunk, please.
Where is your ticket? I must weigh that
trunk. I think you'll have to pay excess money
for it. It weighs more than the limit.
How much more do I have to pay?
Twenty-cents.
Now I can eat something. It is only twenty
minutes to four. I have twenty-three minutes
more.

When does the next train leave for New York?
At twelve o'clock.
Is it an express, or a local? Is it a through

THE STEAMBOAT.
Will you please tell me where the Central
Wharf is?
It is on Bates Street. Go up straight as far
as that white house, then turn to your left and
go straight ahead until you reach the pier.
I thank you, sir. I am very much obliged to
you.
Is this the steamship office?
Yes, sir, this is the steamer for New York.
What time does the steamboat leave?
It leaves at seven o'clock sharp. The weather
is good, and I think we shall start at seven
o'clock sharp.
What is the fare to New York?
Five dollars.
Give me one ticket. Can I buy a return ticket ?
Yes, it wiU cost you eight dollars. That way
you save two dollars.
Let me have a return ticket. Give me a
state room, too. What do you charge for the
state room?
Two dollars for an outside room, one dollar
and seventy-five cents for an inside room.
It is too much. I can't afford it. I think I
shall go downstairs in the cabin. What is the
fare for second class?
Three dollars.
I would like to travel first class, but the fare
is too high.
If you can't afford it, you can travel third
class.
All right. Give me a steerage ticket. Where
120
is the captain? I want to see him about my
trunk.
You can check your trunk here. Do you have
a suit-case with you? If you have one, bring it
to the baggage room. They don't charge you
anything for it.
Can I have my supper on board?
Yes, there is a dining-room on the steamer.
You can have yotir meals at the regular hours.
Breakfast is served from seven to nine; dinner
from twelve to two, and supper from half-past
five to seven.
It is seven o'clock, and the whistle has not
blown yet. What is the trouble?
We shall not start before ten o'clock. The
weather is stormy. The wind is strong. Per-
haps we shall not start before morning.
Oh, there goes the whistle! Hear the man
calling "All aboard!" We are off. It is only
half -past nine. I am afraid it will be stormy
on the way. The worst of it is that I get sea-
sick. I don't see how I can stand it.
Well, go to sleep, and you will be all right in
the morning. We reach New York to-morrow
afternoon at half-past five.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE TEACHER.
The teacher should develop conversation from
the words on "The Human Body" by asking
such questions as these: "Show me your wrist."
"Show me your eye-brows." "How many eyes
do you have?" "What do you do with your
eyes?"
The members of the body should be mastered
thoroughly by the students. They will be a help
in mastering the next lesson, on "The Physician."

THE PHYSICIAN.
Good morning, George. Do you know a good
doctor to whom I can go?
Why, what is the matter?
I don't know. I am not feeling very well
lately. I must see a doctor to-day.
, You can go to Dr. Bruce. He is our family
physician. I am sure he will treat you well.
Go to him. Do you know where he lives?
No, I don't know where he lives.
Go up straight until you reach that white
post, then turn to your left, and go up straight
125
again until yoti reach the comer. The doctor's
house is right on the corner.
Thank you, George. I am going right now.
\/^^Good morning, doctor.
Good morning, Mr. Jones. What is the
trouble? You look pale and thin.
I don't know. I have been in bed since last
Monday night. I am not able to work. Yes-
terday I had feverj to-day I have a sore throat
and headache.
Do you cough?
Yes, I cough very much, and I feel pain in
my chest.
Let me examine you. Lie down. You have a
cold. You must be careful. You must stay at
home, or else you will be worse after a while.
Let me see yotir tongue. Have you eaten any-
thing to-day?
No, I have not eaten anything since last
Monday noon. I have lost my appetite.
Do you sleep well at night?
No, I cannot sleep at all. When I go to bed,
my bones ache. , I feel nervous and weak.
Let me feel your pulse. Is your stomach in
good order?
No, my stomach is out of order. My bowels
don't move regularly.
That's enough now. I will prescribe some-
thing for you. Here is the prescription. Go to
Maiden's drug-store. Take one pill before each
meal. Stay at home for two or three days.
Don't go out at all. You are liable to catch
more cold.
Thank you, doctor.
126
How do you feel to-day?
I feel a little better to-day. Yesterday after-
noon I had the nose-bleed. Later in the after-
noon I had a headache again. This morning I
felt still worse, but I am feeling better now.
Never mind, you will be all right to-morrow.
Your lungs are weak. You must take plenty of
fresh air every day.
How is your brother, John?
He is very sick, worse than ever. The doctor
tells us that he suffers from consumption. He
may die in a few months. It depends on his
strength. If he takes plenty of fresh air, he may
get well.
How is your father?
He is not feeling very well. He is in the
hospital now. The doctors say that he has
pneumonia. A few weeks ago he had rheu-
matism.
What about James? How is he?
He is well, except that he has a boil on his
neck.
I have a sore finger, too. While I was work-
ing yesterday, I hurt my hand with the hammer.
How do you feel to-day?
I feel very well, now, doctor, thank you. I
am very much obliged to you for the good
treatment. I am wholly cured now.
Good afternoon, doctor. My eyes pain me.
127
My sight is weak. Can you fit me a pair of
eye-glasses?
Let me test your eyes. Can you see this
letter plainly?
No, I cannot see it at all.
You are short-sighted. You need a different
pair of glasses. Let me take .the measure. I
will have them ready by to-morrow noon. They
will cost you four dollars.

Please let me see him at once. I have a terri-
ble toothache. I can't stand it any longer.
Wait, I will see if the doctor is busy.
How do you do, doctor? I wish to have a
tooth pulled. It pains me terribly. I could not
sleep at all last night.
Sit down and let me look at it. Which one is
it? This one?
No, the next one.
Is it the one that has the cavity?
Yes, that's the one.
All right. Do you want to take gas?
No, I can stand the pain for a second.
Rinse out your mouth.
I also wish to have a tooth filled.
What kind of filling do you want? You can
have it filled with gold, silver, or cement. Gold
filling will last you longer.
How much will it cost?
It will cost you three dollars. You see, I
have to kill the nerve first, and then fill the
tooth.
I cannot stop now. Can I make an appoint-
ment with you?
Yes, when can you come?
I can come any time to-morrow forenoon.
All right, then you may come at nine o'clock,
I wish to have my teeth cleaned. How much
do you charge for cleaning teeth?
One dollar for cleaning teeth.
129
Where are you going, John?
I am going to the dentist. I must have a
crown put on my tooth.
Let me see it. It is of no use to have a crown
on that tooth. It is decayed. The thing you
need is a Set of teeth, or you can have a false
tooth put in the place of that decayed one.
I don't know what to do. I think I will ask
the doctor about it.

THE LAWYER.— THE COURTS.
Good morning, Mr. Goodwin. Do you know
a good lawyer to whom I could go for advice?
Why, what is the matter?
I received a summons to-day to appear be-
fore the court next Wednesday.
Mr. Atwood is a personal friend of mine. I
am sure he will be glad to help you. Let me
give you a letter of introduction. ■
Is this Mr. Atwood?
Yes, this is Mr. Atwood.
I received a summons to-day to appear be-
fore the court next week.
Who is the plaintiff? Do you know him very
well?
I know him very wdl. We used to be partners
when we had the store on Main Street.
What is the case? Tell me all you know about
the case.
We had a grocery store together. He decided
to withdraw, and sold his share to me. I paid
him seven hundred dollars, and the remainder,
eight hundred dollars, I was paying by monthly
installments.
137
What is the charge against you now?
I sold some furniture from the store, which
he says, belonged to him. When the papers
were made out, it was made plain that from
that day on, he ceased to be the owner of the
store, or of any articles in the store.
Where are the papers?
The notary public has the papers, but I have
a copy here.
Let me see it. This paper says that from now
on, that is, July 13, 1913, the said Lambert
ceases to be the owner of the store or of any-
thing in the store. This is ample proof that he
is wrong.
Call in* the witnesses.
Do you testify for the defendant?
No, I testify for the plaintiff.
Take the stand.
I am going to sue you if you do not pay me
the money you owe nie.by to-morrow. I am
sorry to take such action, but I have to do so,
in order to keep up my business. It is for your
own interest to pay or make some arrangement
about the payment. If we go to court, you will
have to pay the court expenses and the lawyer's
fee, a sum which will amount to more than thirty
dollars. I am willing to settle the matter out
of court. We can compromise.
Counsel for the defendant.
Counsel for the plaintiff.
The witnesses must be called and sworn in.
Raise your right hand. Repeat these words
138
after me: "I will speak the truth, all the truth,
and nothing but the truth. So help me God."'
Will the witnesses for the defendant come
forward?
What is yotir name?
My name is Paul Milliken.
How long have you been knowing the defend-
ant?
I have known him for seven years.
Is he any relation to you?
I don't know.
Can you speak English?
No.
Have you an interpreter here? Will the in-
terpreter come forward?
A judgment was found for the defendant.
Are you satisfied with the proceedings?
I am not. I am right, and the defendant is
wrong.
You can appeal the case if you think you
have grounds for appeal.
You are under arrest.
Where is your warrant? When was it issued?
Yesterday afternoon.

THE BANK.— THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
We have several kinds of banks in this country,
the National Bank, the Savings Banks, State
Banks, and the Postal Savings Bank.
For laborers, the Savings Bank, and the Postal
Savings Bank are the safest places to deposit
money.
I want to- deposit fifty dollars.
I want to open a bank account.
Please write your name and address here.
Do you want a check book?
Yes, I want a check book.
Make out a check for twenty-five dollars.
I want to draw ten dollars.
Please cash me this check.
Endorse the check. Write your name on the
back of the dheck.
If your bank-book is lost, notify the bank at
once. The Treasurer of the bank usually an-
notmces the loss in the daily paper. If the book
is not fotmd, the bank issues another book.
143
Please change me a ten dollar bill.
Can you break a five dollar bill?
Banking Hours
9 A. M. to 3 P. M.
Saturday, 9 A. M. to 12 M.
Saturday evening, 7 to 8 o'clock
Interest payable the first days of March and
September. ^
If you lose the bank-book, give immediate
notice to the company.
The bank-book must be presented to with-
draw any money.
No payment can be made without the deposi-
tor's book.
Each deposit is entered in the depositor's
book.
Interest is allowed from the day of each
deposit at the rate of four per cent per annum.
Interest not withdrawn when payable is
usually added to the principal and draws in-
terest.
In some banks, deposits will be paid on de-
mand, but a few days notice may be required.
Safe deposit vaults to rent. Private boxes
three dollars per annurii, for the safe-keeping of
stocks, bonds, deeds, mortgages, insurance pol-
icies and other valuable things.
Can I borrow two hundred dollars from this
bank?
Do you know anybody in this city that will
144
be willing to recommend you to us? We cannot
lend any money unless we know the person
quite well.
I am a stranger in this city. I don't know any-
body.
Do you own any property in this city?
I own a house and a farm. /
We can lend you two hundred dollars if you
give us a mortgage on your house.
What interest do you charge?
We charge five per cent interest.
It is always advisable to have your house or
store ins\u"ed against fire.
I want to have my store insured.
I want to take out a fire insurance policy.
The insurance policy can be renewed every
year.
For how much do you want your store insured?
For three thousand dollars.
For some stores you must pay higher insurance
than for others. The amount depends upon the
condition of your building, and upon the natttre
of your business. For a wooden building you
must pay higher insurance than for a brick
building.
Protection is the most important thing in
insuring a house or store, or any building. Find
a reliable insiirance company, which will give
you the most protection in case of fire.
145
Some people try to bttrn their property or
their store, with the purpose of drawing the in-
surance money from the company. They do
not succeed. -Those who attempt this criminal
act never escape punishment. Persons who at-
tempt to set fire to their property in order to
obtain the insurance money risk their lives and
the lives of others; other lives may be lost in
the fire, and in almost every case, they them-
selves go to prison for life.

FARMING.
Do you like to live in the country?
Yes, I always like to be where there is fresh
air.
Do you like to work on a farm?
I don't like to be a hired laborer, but I would
like to own a farm.
Why don't you try to get one of your own?
I cannot find one.
Did you consult a real estate agent?
Yes, I went to a real estate agent, but he did
not have anything that I liked. He had a farm
of about twenty-five acres in the suburbs of the
town, but he asked a large sum of money for it.
I can't afford to pay so much. I haven't the
money.
Do you want to buy a farm in the state of
Maine?
I don't care where it is, so long as the place
is good.
Let us go and see Mr. Lipton. He is in the
real estate business, and knows better than we.
How do you do, Mr. Lipton? This is George
Cole. He has decided to become a farmer, and
he vants a good fa;"m. Can you help him in any
way?
Why, yes. We have all kinds of farms to sell.
We sell them on easy terms, too. Here is a
farm of eighteen acres, near electric cars and
steam railroad, twenty-five miles from the city;
includes one horse, two cows, one hundred hens,
fifty chickens, several tools and implements,
147
wagons, all household fiomiture; 4 acres of
potatoes, two acres of corn, garden, fifty fruit
trees, wood for home use, six-room house, with
range and other conveniences, forty-foot bam,
houses for hens. The land is productive and
well divided. We sell all this for $3,000, part
cash, the remainder paid monthly.
Is this farm in a village?
Yes, it is right in the village, only five minutes
walk from, the church and school.
Is the land cultivated or wild?
All the land is productive. The soil is rich
and very fertile. There are no swamps any-
where near the farm. You can raise almost
anything, especially com and potatoes.
Can you raise vegetables?
Yes. The land was mostly used for raising
vegetables. Of course it needs manuring every
year, but you can manage that easily. It is an
excellent opportunity for a man who wants to
work.
Here is another bargain. A farm of seventeen
acres, five acres cleared, ivood and pasture,
seven-room house, hen-house for 600 chickens.
Price $2,000, $400 cash, the remainder in weekly
payments.
Have you any other farms to sell? These
are too large. I would like to buy one of about
fotir acres. I prefer an unfurnished house. I
have my own ftuniture, and plan to buy new
agricultural implements.
Here is a farm of three and one-half acres,
house of seven rooms, steam heat, bath, gas, six
148
poidtry Rouses, apple, pear, and plum trees,
land level. The house is unfurnished, and there
are no tools or other implements.
What is the price of this farm?
The price is $1700, $300 cash and the remain-
der $15 a month. It is a great bargain.
Is there a store in town that sells agricultural
implements?
No, there is no store, but there is an agent
who will order anything you need on the farm.
I need a plow, a scythe, an axe, a shovel,
and a rake.
Farming is a good occupation. You are away
from the noise and excitement of the city. You
enjoy the fresh air, and are free to do anything
you please with your property. Many farmers
are rich and prosperous to-day. They become
rich by selling the fruits and vegetables that
they raise on the farm.

r don't know much about wedding gifts. Can
you suggest a gift for the bride?
^ A bracelet would be a good present, or a pair
of ear-rings.
Wouldn't a necklace be better?
That's SA good idea. A necklace would be
more approjriate. Do you think you can afford
to buy this peari- necklace? ,
I doubt it. How much is it? /
One hundred and fifty dollars.
I can't afford it. Let me see a bracelet. Did
you say these were ten dollars?
Yes, this is ten dollars. That one there is
sixteen doUars.
Now we want a present for the bridegroom.
A pin, a watch, or a clock?
I think he would like a watch better, because
it is more useful.
Show me a few watches, please.
We have a great variety here. Would you
like to have a gold or a silver watch?
151
A gold, watchs
Here is a watch guaranteed tp keep time for
ten years. If. it goes a minute slow or fast,
bring it back, and we will change it for you.

AMERICA.
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty.
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain-side
Let Freedom ring.
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free, —
Thy name I love ;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills,
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze.
And ring from all the trees.
Sweet Freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake ;
Let rocks their silence break, -
The sound prolong.
Our fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty.
To Thee we sing ;
Long may our land be bright
With Freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.

LESSON LXX
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE IMMIGRANT.
How many of you, before you came to this
country, ever asked yotirselves these questions:
What am I going to do in America? Do I know
very much about America? Are there any op-
portunities for work open to me there? How
can I get those opportunities? Is there any op-
portunity to educate myself and my children?
Is there anybody in America to help me, or shall
I be left alone to fight my own battles? What
form of government does that country have?
What is its religion? What are its customs, and
its ways of doing things?
These are some of the questions which men,
like you, ought to have asked before coming to
this country. But now you are here, you have
already come to the United States, and of course
the most natural and most necessary thing for
you, is to learii something about this country,
and to try to answer the above questions.
Having this in mind, let us try to find out
some of the things which you must know if you
want to be successful in this country. ' 'Are there
any opportunities for work open to me here,"
is the question which we shall try to answer first.
This country differs from every other country
in that the people of the United States are
workers. Their real purpose in this life is to
work. Unlike many other lands, the United
States has no class distinctions: all people are
178
equal. Every one has a chance to acquire
riches, wealth, and greatness, if he is only in-
dustrious, and wishes to rise higher. New terri-
tory is being opened up every year. If an im-
migrant wishes to become a farmer, he can
easily become one, if he takes the trouble to
work. Many opportunities are given to immi-
grants, and to all Americans, by the government
of this nation. The public lands of this country
amount to many millions of acres. West of the
Mississippi there are great tracts of land. Again,
there are lands in Michigan, Louisiana, Florida,
and in many other states. The West and the
South afford great opportunities to the immi-
grant if he wishes to cultivate the land. If he
wishes, he can work as a day laborer on a farm,
or he can become the owner of a farm.
Again, the mining districts of the West make
it possible for thousands of immigrants to find
work and live happily. The coal districts of
the United States need laborers who are willing
to work. The work on the railroads, so exten-
sive in this country, affords even a greater op-
portunity.
These opportunities are found in the interior
of the country. If, however, one wishes to stay
in the East, where his friends or relatives are,
he may do so by getting work in some manu-
facttiring city. The large cities of New England,
New York, and Pennsylvania, have many
factories, such as cotton mills, shoeshops, and
paper mills, where laborers are needed.
Now some one of you may say, "This is all
179
12
very well, but how can I get these opportuni-
ties?" The answer is very simple. To get these
opportunities, you must first be willing to work.
As we said before, the people of this country
are industrious, and do not have any use for
lazy people. You must work if you want to
be prosperous.
The second thing which is necessary if you
want to have these opportunities, is to learn the
English language. The language is the key to
your success. Many immigrants do not like this
land, because they do not understand the people
of this country. They do not try to learn the^
language, and therefore they do now know what
take^ place around them. They cannot talk
with the people, and therefore they do not un-
derstand them. Ignorance causes hatred. Learn
the language, a;nd always try to climb up higher
and higher. Do not stay in the mill or factory
all your life. Do something else, better, higher.
But to do this something which is better and
higher, you must learn the English language, in
order to understand the people of the country.
Do not feel a stranger all your life. Try to get
acquainted with people. It is difficult at the
beginning, but a little patience will bring better
opportunities, and therefore a happier life.
Remember, then, that you must be industrious,
you must be willing to work, and you must be
willing to learn.
Again, one of you may say, "I am willing to
learn, but how can I find the opportunity to
learn?" Well, this is an easy matter. Almost
180
every city or town in this country has an eve-
ning school, where people of all races go to learn
the English language. You can go to the eve-
ning school, too. If you have children, you can
send thein to the public schools of your town.
The town does not ask any money for this. It
only asks you to use the opportunity it gives
you to educate your children. Whether you are
going to accept this opportunity depends on you.
Again, every city has a library. In most of
the libraries you find all kinds of books, perhaps
some in your own language. Get into the habit
of going to the library a few times a week. It
will help you very much. In the library they
have reading rooms, where you can sit down
and read the newspaper, or any book. You can
take out books to read at home, if you wish.
Now all of these, the. evening school, the
public day schools, and the public libraries, are
for the people of the town. You are a paj-t of
that town, and have a right to take advantage
of these opportunities. If you are not acquainted
with these institutions, you had better get
acquairited as soon as you can. They will help
you very much. Keep going to these places for
a year, and you will see the value of them.
All this helps you to learn the . language,
and to know the language means that your
work will be easier, and that you can get more
money.
"What form of government does the United
States have?" is the next question which we
shall try to answer. As this subject will be
181
treated later, in a separate section, I will tell
you only a little about the government here.
This country has a republican form of govern-
ment. It is a free country, where you can do
anything, as long as you do not break the law
of the country. If you violate a law, you will
be punished in the same way as in any other
land. A man can think in his own way, he can
express his opinion freely and openly, he can
find justice in the courts.
This nation is governed by laws made by
representatives of the people. The President of
the United States, the members of Congress,
and the governors of all the states, are elected
by the people. The people have the right to
demand many things from these men. They
can change the laws through these men, they
can make new laws through the same men.
A man born in the United States is a citizen
of the country; a man not born in the United
States can become a citizen through natural-
ization. In order to be naturalized, one must
have lived in this country for five years, must
be industrious, must be of good character, must
know the English language a little, and must
know how this country is governed. When he
becomes a citizen, he has the right to vote, and
to hold any office that he may secure through
election or appointment.
"What is the religion of the United States?"
is the last question which we shall try to answer.
This country has no national religion. You can
worship in any way that you think is best, so
182
long as you do not violate the law of the country.
You can be a Protestant or a Catholic, an
Orthodox or a Jew. Your difference in religion
will not take away the rights and privileges of
your citizenship. The people that make the
laws of this country are not of the same religion.
They have the liberty to think as they see fit.

LESSON LXXI
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.
Until 1492, the country which to-day we call
the United States was inhabited by a people
called Indians.
America was discovered in the year 1492 by
Christopher Columbus. From this time on
until 1607 it was an age of exploration and dis-
covery, and permanent settlements in this
country were unsuccessful. However, in 1607,
an English band came to Virginia, where they
founded Jamestown, the first permanent settle-
ment.
In 1620, another band of Englishmen, called
the Pilgrims, landed at Plymouth, Massa-
chusetts.
Other settlements were made by the Dutch
in New York, but in 1664 they lost their terri-
tory to the English.
Another colony was founded in Pennsylvania
by William Penn, in 1682.
More and more immigrants came into the
new country, and thef colonies grew in number
and in population.
Still other settlements were made by the
French and Spaniards, who occupied different
parts of the country.
The English people increased in number, and
to protect themselves from the Indians, the
187
French, the Dutch and the Spaniards, they
united more and more, until a time came when
a little army was raised by the colonists.
These colonies were governed by the king of
England, who exacted heavy taxes from them.
The colonies often complained, and refused to
be governed by people who were so far from
them, and who did not know what was taking
place in the colonies. The English monarch,
however, paid no attention to these complaints,
and, therefore, dissatisfaction grew among the
colonists. They refused to pay the heavy taxes
which the English government imposed upon
them.
Instead of leaving ofE his cruel treatment, the
king of England . imposed even heavier taxes
upon the colonies. He taxed them so heavily
that their prosperity and welfare were endan-
gered.
While refusing to pay the heavy taxes, the
colonists were preparing fof war. They pro-
tested against the English measures in vain.
At last the Revolutionary War broke out, and
in 1776, after one year of fighting, the colonists
declared their independence of England. The
war lasted about seven years longer, until in
1783 a treaty of peace wag signed between Great
Britain and the thirteen united colonies.
The United States was now recognized as an
independent nation. Attempts to form a na-
tional government were begun. In 1787 a con-
stitution was drawn up, which guaranteed the
rights and welfare of the people. In 1789 the
188
Constitution went into effect, and George Wash-
ington, a brave soldier and a great general, in
the Revolutionary War, was elected the first
President of the United States.
Owing to commercial difficulties, another war
broke out in 1812 between Great Britain and
the United States, in which the young nation
was once more successful.
In 1814 another treaty of peace was signed
between Great Britain and the United States,
and since that time the United States has never
had a war with the mother-country.
As we saw above, there were Indians, English,
French, and Spaniards scattered all through
this country. As time went on, however, the
territory held by these nations became the
property of the United States, either by purchase
or by war.
The country was now progressing fast, but
there was another evil in the country which
caused much trouble between the North and
the South. The South had negro slaves, and
did not wish to part with them, because slavery
was of great value to the Southern indusjtries.
The North was bitterly opposed to slavery, and
in the year 1861, while Abraham Lincoln was
president, war broke out between the North and
the South. This was the Civil War. It lasted
about four years, but finally the North was
victorious over the South.
As a result of the Civil War, slavery was
abolished forever. The South united again
189
with the North, peace was restored, and the
country began again a period of prosperity.
The next war came in 1898, when the United
States fought against Spain, in order to free
Cuba from Spanish rule. As a result of the
Spanish-American War, Cuba was finally de-
clared independent, and the United States
gained Porto Rico, Guam, and the Philippine
Islands.
About the same time the United States an-
nexed Hawaii.
To-day the United States of America is com-
posed of 48 states, extending from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and from Canada
to Mexico. It also includes Alaska, the Philip-
pine Islands, Guam, and the territories of Hawaii
and Porto Rico.
To see how a country, such as the United
States, is governed, is an interesting thing. In
the following pages we shall see how the United
States of America is governed, and how it makes
the laws necessary for the welfare and pros-
perity of its own citizens.

LESSON LXXII
THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
After the English colonies had declared their
independence, the most natural and most neces-
sary thing was to form some kind of government
which would guarantee the rights and welfare of
the people.
With this purpose in mind, a number of leading
men met to discuss the future government of
the new nation. It was not an easy thing to
establish a government, for the states would not
give up their rights to the National Government.
After a long -discussion, however, they came to
an agreement, and the new Constitution was
drawn up, and in a very short time it went
into effect.
In this Constitution, as you will see in the
diagram below, provision was made for a legis-
lative branch, an executive branch, and a judi-
cial branch.
In brief we shall see what are the duties and
powers of each branch.

THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.
All the laws of the nation are made by the
Congress of the United States, which is com-
posed of a House of Representatives and a
Senate, or of the Lower House and "the Upper
House.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The members of the House of Representatives
are elected every two years by the people of the
different states.
To be elected a member of the House of Repre-
sentatives, a man must be over twenty-five
years old, must have been a citizen of the United
States for seven years, and must be an inhabitant
of the Stateln which he is elected. Each member
of the Lower House represents the district of
the State from which he is elected.
The number of representatives from each
State is determined by the population of that

There are two Senators from every State of
the Union. These two Senators represent the
State as a whole, and not any district in the
State.

LESSON LXXIII
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
The executive power is vested in a President
of the United States.
The President of the United States is elected
for four years.
The President of the United States is elected
indirectly by the people. The people of each
State choose a number of electors, equal to the
whole number of Senators and Representatives
in that State. These electors elect the Presi-
dent of the United States.
To become a President of the United States,
a man must be! a native-born citizen, must be
thirty-five years of age, and must have been
fourteen years a resident within the United
States.
There is also a -Vice-President of the United
States, who is elected for four years, and who
is elected in the same way as the President of
the United States.
In case of removal of the President of the
United States from office, the Vice-President
takes up the duties of the President until a new
Executive is elected.
POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT.
The President is commander-in-chief of the
Army and the Navy of the United States, and
of the militia of the several States.
He presides and has control over the executive
departments.
195

ambassadors, public ministers, consuls, and the
Judges of the Supreme Court.
He has the power to pardon.
The President signs the bills that are passed
by Congress.
It is the duty of the President to inform Con-
gress of the condition of the Union.
The President has the power to recommend

He may convene both Houses.
He receives ambassadors and public ministers.
It is the duty of the President to see that the
laws are faithfully executed.
HOW A BILL BECOMES A LAW.
A bill, in order to become a law, must be
passed by the House of Representatives and the
Senate, and then must be signed by the Presi-
196
dent of the United States. If the bill is vetoed
by the President, it goes back to the Houses for
reconsideration. If, after reconsideration, the
bill be passed by two-thirds of each House, it
becomes a law without the signature of the
President. If the bill is not returned by the
President within ten days after it is presented
to him, it becomes a law in the same way as if
he had signed it.
LESSON LXXIV
THE JUDICIAL BRANCH.
The judicial power is vested in one Supreme
Court, and in other inferior courts which Con-
gress may establish from time to time.
The judges are appointed, to office by the
President of the United States with the consent
of the Senate.
The judges hold their offices only during good
behavior.
DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE SUPREME
COURT.

persons who hold office under the government
of the United States, shall be removed from
office on impeachment for treason, bribery, or
other high crimes and misdemeanors.
The trial of all crimes shall be by a jury.
If a person who is charged in any State with
a crime and who flees from justice, is found in
another State, he shall, on demand of the State
from which he escaped, be delivered up to be
removed to the State where he committed the
crime.
No religious test shall ever be required as a
qualification to any office or public trust under
the United State.s.
The citizens of each State are entitled to all
the privileges of citizens in the several States.
198
LESSON LXV
THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
There are forty-eight States in the Union.
Each State makes its own laws; each State has
laws which guarantee the rights and welfare of
its own people. Every State, however, is for-
bidden to do certain things which fall within the
power of the National Government. Some of
these things are :
That no State shall be allowed to make
treaties or to coin money ;
That no State shall, without the consent of
Congress, lay any duties on imports or exports.
That no State shall, without the consent of
Congress, keep troops or ships of waf in time of
peace.
That no State shall enter into an agreement
with another State or with a foreign power.
That no State shall engage in war, unless
actually invaded, or when there is a great danger.
Outside of these restrictions, the plan of the
State government is not different from that of
the National Government, as you will see in the
diagram below. Each State provides for a

legislative branch, an executive branch, and a
judicial branch.
THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.
The laws of a State are made by the Legislature
of that State, which consists of two houses, the
Senate and the House of Representatives, or
the Upper House and the Lower House.
To be elected a member of the Legislature,
a man must be a citizen of the United States.
The members of the State . Legislature are
elected by direct vote of the people of that
State.
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
The head of the State is the governor.
The governor is elected by the people of the
State.
The term of office varies from one to four
years.
POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE GOVERNOR.
The governor of the State is the commander-
in-chief of the State militia.
It is the duty of the governor to see that the
laws of the State are faithfully executed.
He has the power to pardon.
He has the power to appoint and remove cer-
tain officers in the State.
In the different States, there are departments,
commissions, and bureaus, the officers of which
in most States are elected by the people.
200
Some of the officers are:
The Secretary of State.
The Treasurer of the State.
The Auditor of the State.
The Attorney-General.
The State Superintendent of Schools.
•HOW A BILL BECOMES A LAW.
A bill, in order to become a law, must be
passed by the State legislature, and then must
be signed by the Governor of the State. If the
bill is not signed by the governor, it goes back
to the legislature for reconsideration. If, after
reconsideration, the bill is passed by two-thirds
of each House, it then becomes a law without
the signature of the governor.
THE JUDICIAL BRANCH.
The States provide for courts of various kinds,
where the people may find justice.
The justices' courts are the lowest courts,
where petty cases are tried.
The district courts are higher courts, where
a jury trial is found always.
There are also county courts, where important
cases are tried.
A Supreme Court is found in each State,
usually located in the State capital. The cases
tried before this court are of great importance. .
In many States to-day, the judges are elected
by the people; in others, they are appointed by
the legislature, and in still others, they are ap-
pointed by the governor.
201
LESSON LXXVI
CITY GOVERNMENT.
We have seen how the nation is governed; we
have also seen how a State is .governed. Now
we shall see how a city is governed.
A city receives its rights to govern itself from
the State in which it is located. The State
grants a charter to ,the city, but may change it
or withdraw it at any time.
Again, the plan of the city government is not
different from that of the National Government,
or from that of the State Government. _
As' you will see in the diagram below, in every
city there is a legislative branch, an executive
branch, and a judicial branch.

THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.
The laws of a city are made by the legislature
of that city, which consists of the Council. This
Council is sometimes divided into two bodies,
the Board of Aldermen, or the Upper House,
and the Common Council, or the Lower House.
The members of the legislature are elected
by the people of the city. The city is divided
202
into wards. The people in each ward elect their
own members to represent them in the Council.
The Council has the power to arrange the ex-
penses and the taxation of the city; it has the
power to grant privileges and rights to private
corporations and companies.
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
The head of the city is the Mayor.
The Mayor is elected by the people.
His term of office varies in different cities.
It is the duty of the Mayor to enforce the law.
He has the power to appoint and remove cer-
tain officers of the city.
In a city, there are departments, which carry
on the business of the city.
In some cities, the members of these depart-
ments are elected by the people, in others they
are appointed by the Mayor, and in still others
they are appointed by the Council.
Some of the departments are:
The Treasury Department.
The Fire Department.
The Health Department.
The Police Department.
The Street Department.
The 'Board of PubHc Works.
The School Board.
THE JUDICIAL BRANCH.
The Judicial Branch of a city consists of
police courts, of justices' courts, and of superior
courts.
203
Under the Judicial Branch of the State
Government we saw how the judges of these
courts are elected, and what their duties are.

an alien must declare his intention to become a
citizen of the United States.
He must have reached the age of eighteen
years at the time of his declaration of intention.

205
returns to his native land or goes to any other
foreign country and takes permanent residence
there, it shall be considered as an evidence of a
lack of intention on the part of such citizen to
