Excerpt from The United States and Porto Rico: With Special Reference to the Problems Arising Out of Our Contact With the Spanish-American Civilization
The main purpose of this work is to discuss the problems arising out of our contact with the Spanish-American civilization. The questions with which we have been compelled to deal in Porto Rico are bound to present themselves on a larger scale in the years to come, and the problems involved are of such a technical character that something more than common-sense will be required to deal with them. We must acquaint ourselves with the situation through a careful analysis of the conditions under which Spanish-American civilization has developed. Not until then shall we be prepared to meet the complex questions which our relations with these countries present.
I desire to record my obligations to my dear friends; the Hon. Wm. H. Hunt, Governor of Porto Rico, Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsay, Commissioner of Education, Professor Joseph French Johnson and Professor Henry R. Seager, for the careful reading of the manuscript, and to Mrs. Morris Jastrow, Jr., and Professor John L. Stewart for the most trying of all tasks - the reading of the proof sheets.
