520 _a"America First: Patriotic Readings" by Jasper Leonidas McBrien is a collection of patriotic writings and educational materials written in the early 20th century. This work seeks to instill a sense of American patriotism among teachers and students, emphasizing the importance of national identity and unity, particularly in the context of the challenges posed by World War I and the diverse immigrant backgrounds of American citizens. The opening portion of the book sets the stage with a foreword that references President Woodrow Wilson's call for prioritizing America over foreign allegiances, articulated in his 1915 address to the Daughters of the American Revolution. McBrien outlines his intention to compile readings that will help foster a meaningful understanding of Americanism among the rising generation, particularly in schools. He introduces the concept that proper education should link students with the ideals of patriotism through historical content, ensuring that the spirit of national unity and pride resonates across all demographics within society. The text immediately draws attention to the historical significance of such themes, anticipating that a shared understanding of America's past will lead to a stronger sense of identity and commitment to the nation's principles among its youth.
