Excerpt from First Steps in Americanization: A Handbook for Teachers During the school-year 1916-17, the State Normal School at Lowell, Massachusetts, acting in cooperation with the Department of University Extension of the State Board of Education, offered an Extension Course for teachers in the teaching of English to immigrants. The eagerness shown by teachers in neighboring cities to avail themselves of this opportunity seemed to indicate that teachers generally might regard as worthy of study a book devoted to a discussion of teaching in this particular field. Hence, this book. It does not pretend to be very exhaustive or very profound. It certainly does not exhaust the topic "Americanization." On the contrary, as its title suggests, it attempts only to discuss the first steps in the Americanization process, namely, the tasks of teaching the immigrant how to talk, to write, and to read.
