Opening Source Excerpt
Section titled “Opening Source Excerpt”XV THE AMERICAN NATION CO-OPERATIVE industrial organization presupposes racial unity. There can be no co-operation as long as there is racial strife and antagonism within the nation. The Ameri- can nation was formed— rather is being formed, since it is still in the formation period — by the commingling of the Anglo-Saxon, Teuton, Celt, Slav, and Mediterranean. None of these races is in the majority or even in such a large mi- nority that it could expect to have its character, its viewpoints, habits, and temperament pre- dominate in the resultant race. The white pop- ulation of the United States to-day probably comprises about 30 to 35 per cent, of Anglo- Saxon origin (English, Scotch, etc.), about 30 per cent, of Teuton origin (German, Dutch, Scandinavian, etc.), 15 per cent, of Celtic origin (Irish), andSource-Located Theme Snippets

In some respects it must, therefore, be regretted that the complete racial unity of the two English-speaking nations has not been preserved, that America has not remained completely of Anglo-Saxon race.

Modern Engineering Reading Prompts
Section titled “Modern Engineering Reading Prompts”- Ether references: Verify exact wording before drawing conclusions. Ether language must be separated from later interpretive systems.
- Transients / damping: Separate the temporary term from the final steady-state term and compare with differential-equation response language.
Ether-Field Interpretive Boundary
Section titled “Ether-Field Interpretive Boundary”- Ether references: If Steinmetz mentions ether, quote only the verified source words first; any broader ether-field synthesis belongs in a labeled interpretive layer.
- Transients / damping: Transient collapse, impulse, and surge behavior can be compared with alternative field language, but only as a clearly marked reading.
