Excerpt from The Slovaks of Cleveland: With Some General Information on the Race
As The Cleveland Americanization Committee took on more definite shape, it seemed to separate itself into two divisions; first, bringing the foreign born residents into close touch with the language, customs and ideals of America; and second, giving to the native born Americans an understanding of the racial and political sympathies of the foreign born. Without a common understanding of the best each has to offer, no real fusion of new and older Americans will ever take place.
With this end in view, a series of articles has been planned, taking up individually the various races prominently represented in our cosmopolitan city.
"The Slovaks of Cleveland" is presented as the first of this series. It is very desirable that this race be better understood in view of the prominent part they are now bearing in world politics. The establishment of a Czechoslovak state will prove one of the best possible barriers to future German aggression, and the annals of the Czechs-Slovak army in Russia are full of achievement as heroic as any the world has ever seen.
The Czechs are well known by their English name, Bohemians, but there is very little general understanding of the Slovaks. The adjective "Slavish" which is sometimes used to describe them, has no standing in the dictionary and does not appear in any ethnological work. Their own adjective "Slovensky" has often led to their being confused with the Slovenians, who are an entirely different race. In the census they figure as Hungarians because born in Hungary, and in other records they appear as Austrians, because they have come from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
It is hoped that this publication may be effective in securing for them a better understanding.
