A Mixture of Nationalities

By William Ambrose Spicer

THE principal of a Chicago public school has presented the claim that he has “the most cosmopolitan school in the world.” He finds that his twelve hundred pupils represent the following nationalities:—

American	Canadian	Hungarian
English	Hebrew	Slavonian
German	Japanese	Greek
Irish	Norwegian	Portuguese
Lithuanian	Danish	Belgian
Polish	Scotch	Swiss
Swedish	Spanish	Persian
Russian	Dutch	Welsh
Bohemian	Italian

We need ever to challenge ourselves with the fact that all this mixing of nationalities in America is to be turned to the hastening of the work of evangelizing all nations. We hear that the Wisconsin brethren are working to systematically cover the city of Milwaukee in a distribution of leaflets in several languages. Seed sown among the many nationalities gathered in this country must surely bring fruit. The German and Scandinavian literature, as all must know, is produced at College View, Neb., by the International Publishing Association. But any desiring leaflets in other languages, or wishing counsel as to how to work for the groups of foreign-speaking Europeans in our mining or industrial centers should write to the secretary of the foreign department, Brother A. Boettcher, Room 404, 32 Union Square, E., New York City.
