Question

How do the activities of these immigrant children support the argument that newcomers were taught to feel patriotism toward their adopted country?

Answer 1

Settlement houses and other agencies developed programs to educate immigrants and their children with the American culture. The children were taught hygiene, manners, conduct in daily life and most important of all, the use of the English language. The common schools developed particular subjects and extracurricular activities and new ways of enforcing discipline in order to Americanize these children.
