Excerpt from California Men, Vol. 3: September, 1912 My dear Mr. Sprunger: I have this minute received your letter. California will know how to meet her immigration question when it comes with the Canal, for her people are open-hearted and open-handed always. The strangers come not only to help till your acres and add to your wealth. They come to help make your State great as well as golden. They will if you will let them. Then be their neighbors. They will work for you. Work with them in turn. Open your schools wide for their children and for as many of their elders as you can get in at night. Let each school-house be a social and civic center where they are made welcome. Do not ask them to forget the old home. He makes but a poor husband who shuts the door on his old mother when he takes a wife. Let them keep the old love. Make the house big enough and bright enough to foster the new. Fence out the slum with utmost rigor. Enlist the new voter for every good cause. The enemy is waiting to enlist him for the bad as often as you miss your chance. Being fellow citizens, pull together, and you will find the newcomer breaking easy to the double harness. Just be neighbors. It is all as simple as that. Faithfully yours, Jacob A. Riis. We have just learned that Jacob Riis is coming to California in the spring on what will probably be his last lecture tour this far West. His famous lectures, "The Battle with the Slums," and "My Neighbor," would be especially appropriate in this section of the country at this time. Special terms could no doubt be secured if any of the California Associations would plan to put these lectures on in the spring. Mr. Riis' manager is Prof. Geo. Thompson, High School, Alameda, California. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
