Excerpt from Studies in History

The ideal causing prominent Americans to accept without protest the move ment for the revision of American History was of a character to enlist the sympathy and support of many who did not realize that their minds were being swayed by an impulse the very reverse of that which caused Washington to utter his warning.

The desire for world peace possesses the minds of all who seek for orderly progress, but those furthering this laudable aim, utilizing the methods adopted by the revis'ionists, overlooked the danger to domestic peace through the disintegrating force of racial ostracisms, foreign to the genius and temper of a Republic that owes its origin and maintenance to many races. And which can survive in its present form and strength only so long as the allegiance of its citizens is safeguarded by an ardent patriotism.

As stated by the late Secretary of the Interior, Franklin K. Lane. Before we take up this work of Americanization of others we must first be sure that we have Americanized ourselves.

Always keeping in mind that the membership of the Knights of Columbus is drawn from various countries on the American continent, the unchangeable pur pose of the History Program is that all should be encouraged to love their own country. And in seeking to serve their own land, in faith, reverence and affection, to achieve the basis of a common brotherhood.
