Steiner, Edward A. [On the trail of the immigrant.] **$1.50. Revell.
Humanity and individual responsibility pulsate thru the pages of Mr. Steiner’s earnest statement of the immigrant problem. The work is offered as the result of careful study the author having been a steerage passenger himself, first out of necessity, and later, for the sake of a close range inquiry. He says that a new gigantic race is being born between the Atlantic and the Pacific, a race whose immigrant element is primitive, uncultured, untutored, with all the virtues and vices in the making. “They are the best material with which to build a nation materially; they are good stock to be used in replenishing physical depletion: and capable of taking on the highest intellectual and spiritual culture.” Yet he admits that they are a serious problem.
“Dr. Steiner is a capital story-teller also, and enlivens his chapters with anecdote and incident. The book cannot fail to afford excellent material for the use of students of immigrant problems.”
