Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The beginning of the immigrants life in America is usually full of difi Bculties. He suddenly finds himself in the midst of new scenes, new customs, and usually a new language, which together make him an easy prey for unscrupulous men of all races, who are ready to cheat him under the pretense of friendship and help. If he violates some custom or ordinance that he does not understand, and finds himself arrested as a lawbreaker, his experience may lead him to hate the seemingly unjust laws of his new country and to set himself against them. If some interpreter or court attendant takes advantage of the immigrants ignorance and terror and extorts a large part of his little capital as the alleged price of a judicial decision, he naturally considers all American courts venal and corrupt. Thus he may be started, through pure ignorance, toward the attitude of a defiant law-breaker. As this has its dangers for the country as well as for the immigrant, the welfare of both demands that these newcomers (to whom this nation owes much for the new blood, energ industry, and wealth which have enriched its life) be made acquainted immediately with the language, customs, and laws of their new homeland. To meet this demand, evening classes for foreigners have been established in many communities.
