To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I used to see in the open ports in Japan boys and girls born to the Japanese " wives " of Europeans and Americans. Such " Eurasians, " with few excep- tions, seemed neither bright nor robust. In my youthful, unreasoning mind, I fancied that marriage of Occidentals and Orientals was disastrous. As I grew older, I learned to think more rationally and to place the blame where it belonged. The trouble with those Eurasian children was that their Japanese mothers were mere hirelings, employed for the... time being to satisfy the lust of sailors and traders from Europe and America. What could we expect from such promiscuous " marriages " ? Wanton love is destructive alike to the home and to the human race. On the other hand, men like Lafcadio Hearn and Captain Brinkley, who made homes in Japan with edu- cated, respectable Japanese women, are blessed with chil- dren who are mentally and physically as wholesome as any child. CAN WE AMERICANIZE THEM? 73 But we must come back to America. There are at present in the entire United States some 300 Japanese who have married American women.
