_To Professor Richard Hochdoerfer, Ph. D.
erudite scholar and most lovable friend, this book is dedicated_
"_Das ist ganz Americanish_." Whenever a German says this, he means that it is something which is practical, lavish, daringly reckless or lawless.
It means a short cut to achievement, a disregard of convention, an absence of those qualities which have given to the older nations of the world that fine, distinguishing flavor which is a fruit of the spirit.
Many attempts have been made to enlighten the Old World upon that point; but in spite of exchange-professorships and some notable, interpretative books upon the subject, we are still only the "Land of the Dollar."
We are not loved as a nation, largely because we are not understood, and we are not understood because we do not understand ourselves, and we do not understand ourselves because we have not studied ourselves in the light of the spirit of other nations.
