CAN PRUSSIA BE HUMANIZED?

Prussia comprises two-thirds of Germany, There are several smaller states. They have been tied to the kaiser’s chariot wheel since 1870. Bavarians are far superior to the Prussians. Most of the Germans who came to America were from Bavaria. Prussia has always believed in militarism, tyranny and brutality. She has Prussianized Germany. She would Prussianize the world. Can Prussia ever be humanized? The present generation is beyond hope. The coming generation could be changed if we could teach the schools, control the press and churches. We fear that will never come to pass.
