I am deeply grateful for your patience in the face of delay in getting
this booklet to you. When you read it, however, I feel you will be
repaid, for no effort has been spared in making it worthy of being read
and treasured as a permanent record of the AMERICANS ALL—IMMIGRANTS ALL
radio series.
Since the programs themselves could give you only a general panorama of
the many colorful and significant contributions made by peoples of many
races and lands to the building of our Nation, you will no doubt wish to
be in a position to investigate for yourself some of the things which
have impressed you as most interesting.
The suggested readings and sources for more material, given in the
booklet and the special list should help you in doing this. If this
Office can be of further service, please feel free to call upon us.
As an enthusiastic listener of AMERICANS ALL—IMMIGRANTS ALL, you will no
doubt be glad to learn that these radio programs have been perpetuated
in the form of recordings which can be used on phonographs and on radio
playback equipment. You may wish to give this news to teachers, club
leaders, and others who would have a natural interest in promoting
broader tolerance through understanding. You may also wish to put into
their hands the inclosed reference list.
Thanking you again for your abiding interest, I am
Cordially yours,
J. W. Studebaker
Commissioner of Education.
