DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Polish Peasant in Europe and America, Vol. 5: Monograph of an Immigrant Group The preceding parts of this work, though far from exhaustive, give a general outline of the psychol ogy and organization of the peasant communities in Poland and of the evolution by which these communi ties, formerly almost isolated, became integral parts of the Polish national body. We have found that, except for the higher forms of cultural productivity (litera ture, art, science, large-scale industry and commerce) in which the peasant class did not appreciably partici pate and for the maintenance and development of a state system, of which Poland was deprived, our study has involved nearly all the sociological problems which can be raised with reference to a concrete, ethnically homogeneous society which has occupied a certain ter ritory for many generations and come into the pos session of a set of social values either originally pro duced or completely assimilated during its historical ex istence.

Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III THE SUPER-TERRITORIAL ORGANIZATION OF POLISHAMERICAN SOCIETY Attempts to unify all the Polish colonies in America into one social body began nearly 50 years ago. Thus in 1873 Priest Gieryk of. Detroit planned some kind of super-territorial institution in which the representatives of various coTonies would meet and manage the common affairs of the American Poles. But this plan, though Tater supported by one of the best Polish-American organizers, Priest W. Barzynski, failed completely. The failure was inevitable, for the organization began as a vague association of priests, who as such represented their respective parishes. It meant thus implicitly the use of the parish system as a basis of the super-territorial system. But the parish is, as we have seen, essentially a territorial institution with all its activities concentrated upon the local Polish-American group. There are hardly any practical interests common to all the Polish parishes in this country, and a super-territorial organization with the parish as the unit would have nothing to do. Priest Barzynski in spite of all his ability and influence could not even induce all of the parishes in Chicago to form one social body; their solidarity has never gone beyond cooperation in a few public manifestations of a national character. It even proved impossible to create a formal superterritorial organization of all the official leaders of parishes, 1. e., the Polish-American clergy, for the latter belonged to many different dioceses and did not constitute any one unit of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The aim of the Order of the Resurrectionists, which from the beginning played a very important part in PolishAmerican life, seems to have been precisely to create a unified body...
