Book Review: Sozio-Kulturelle Probleme Der Eingliederung Italienischer Arbeitskrafte In Der Schweiz, Dr. Lukas F. Burckhardt
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Rudolf Braun's study of the assimilation problems of Italian workers in Switzerland has two outstanding qualities which are rarely found together in the same work: It meets the strict professional standards of modern sociological research, but it is also written with the heart and therefore reads in its main parts like a captivating novel.

Dear Compatriots and Friends:
I is the major task of this newsletter to report to the members of the SAHS on the eighth annual meeting which was held on November 20, 1971, at the Swiss Embassy in Washington. Some twenty people attended and much important business was transacted.

Observations On The School Systems In The United States And Switzerland, Erich A. Klee
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
One of the recurrent themes in the long history of U.S.-Swiss relations has to do with the reciprocal interest in each other's educational systems. Americans went to visit the schools and institutes of Pestalozzi and Fellenberg in the early 19th century and returned full with ideas of how to improve schools over here. They had successors who time and again hoped to get inspiration for their own work by studying how the Swiss went about the important task of educating the young.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
I am glad to inform you that in 1970, our financial position remained favorable. This could be attributed first of all to the agreeable experience that the majority of our members had paid their annual fee without further request, although in some cases, the treasurer's efforts were required in the form of reiterated reminders, when the members seemed to have forgotten to pay their contributions. So the result is quite satisfactory, as from the 229 ordinary members 206 paid for 1970, which means a percentage of 89.95%.

At the end of June, 1970, the Swiss Federal Council created eight new consulates in the United States and Puerto Rico.

The newly elected honorary consuls come from such diverse walks of life as private enterprise, physics, sociology, business, engineering, textile industry, medicine and hotel industry.

This past summer the Swiss American Historical Society lost the services of its Secretary and Newsletter Editor, Lukas F. Burckhardt. Dr. Burckhardt, after many years as Labor and Cultural Counselor at the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, was promoted to become chief of the Chultural Section of the Swiss Political Department in Bern and he felt that he, therefore, hadto relinquish his SAHS offices. Knowing better than anybody else how much Lukas Burckhardt meant for ouor Society, I was very reluctant to accept his resignation, yet in the end could do nothing but honor his wishes.
