As one who spends hours going through old press articles, I have found countless stories of immigrants coming from Italy, Germany, Hungary, and other foreign countries who are eager to learn the English language and become assimilated into our society. Early 20th century newspapers reveal many stories of night school classes being avidly sought by the newcomers. There was never a suggestion that America adopt Spanish, or Italian, or German "as a second language."
