It has been endorsed by scores of public officials, has been placed in hundreds of libraries, studied in thousands of schools and read by hundreds of thousands of Americans. It is the book Woodrow Wilson read on the night of his election to the Presidency. It will hold your interest whether you are nine or ninety, a man or woman, boy or girl. Illustrated. Published by The Immigrant The author has succeeded to a remarkable degree in investing the subject of Immigration with intense interest. The story of the greatest human migration of all the ages is told in vivid, incisive and picturesque style. The three centuries of this great world movement are spread out before the reader like a panoramic parade of all nations. Accurate historical statement, philosophic presentation of the underlying principles and a judicial consideration of the ultimate influence on our country characterize this latest and in many respects most satisfactory and complete handbook. Illustrated. Published by The Haskin Letter The daily letter by Frederic J. Haskin has more readers than any other newspaper feature in the United States. Its great popularity is due to its accurate presentation of worth-while information. The New Freedom Certain it is that the more pertinent phase: of present day conditions have never been more simply and more luminously set forth. The large, free lines in which the story is told, the easy style of extemporaneous talk, the homely illustrations, remove every impediment from the reader's mind and give to each sentence the tang of life. Every phrase is fresh as a May morning, and every thought is quick with life. Fifth Large Printing Transcriber's note: Variations in spelling, punctuation and hyphenation have been retained except in obvious cases of typographical error. Facing page 10: The photo of George Goethals includes a signature. The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs, thus the page number of the illustration might not match the page number in the List of Illustrations. ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed. 1.F. 1.F.3.

We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States.
