The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Hazen's article in the Saturday Evening Post
HAZEN’S ARTICLE IN THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.
It is wonderful how effective a single article may be. The Saturday Evening Post of October 12th had for its leading story an account of the Czechoslovaks by Charles Downer Hazen. Dr. Hazen has been a teacher of history and a writer of historical works for twenty-five years and is used to scientific exactness. The thing that struck a Czech reader of Dr. Hazen’s account of the Czechoslovaks most strongly is the unusual fact that a lengthy article written by a stranger is correct in every detail, in every fact and every date. In five pages the author manages to give a very complete and faithful account of the Czechoslovak people and their struggle for independence.
An article in the Saturday Evening Post is read by several million people. That this particular story was read by many is evident from this fact alone that the various Czechoslovak organizations were swamped with requests for pamphlets, maps, posters, etc., shortly after the appearance of the article. Bohemian and Slovaks of this country owe a great debt of gratitude to Dr. Hazen for his splendid and sympathetic exposition.
