The vast food Of foreigners which
pours ceaseiessly into this country,
and its equal participation In the
government after very inadequate
preparation for the duties and re-
sponsibilities Of citizenship, Is one
Of the most pressing and difficult OF
our public problems. In some
American cities the proportion OF
voters who do not know our Ian
guage, to whom our history and
traditions are absolutely unknown,
who have 10 conception Of political
duty or responsibility, and no care
for them or interest IL them, is
enormous. IL L., As q rule, mass OF
the most ignorant citizenship. The
most intelligent American who
should settle in another country
could not aud would not ask before
he knew ths language aud had
famiIiarized himself with the history
and character OF the country aud
people, and OF the nature and
methods Of their political institu-
tions, to take an active part In the
government, nor would an intelli-
gent people permit him to do 40.
