Historical Legacies: 1840-1920This article first describes the historical record on the use of immigrant languages in American schools, concentrating on the important nineteenth-century experience with German but touching also on other groups, the 1880-1920 period, and parochial schools. The article then turns to the issue of school achievement by immigrants circa 1910, when public school policy did not provide for the use of immigrant languages to support that achievement.
