merrmcn. Professor Won Hoist. In talking on the
naturalization OF the United States, said the vitality
Of the ni,d states absolutely depends upon their be
ing an indcstwctble union Of ndeStructble states
The American people not only constitutioDally Il
Nation. The actual naturalization goes steadily on.
though the constitutional naturalization be allowed
10 remain unchanged 1t can be proved that in no re-
spcct conscious and systematic naturalization moro
mpcravey needed than in regard to education. Eli
ucaton is the bed rock which this Republic rests.
However excellent its iical Institutions be, its dc
cay is inevitable II the people fall to DO their iull
duty by themselves in this respect Because education
Is Il bed rock on which the Republic rests il Is
OF vital importance that 1t does not become Federal
affair. Self reliance and responsibility the iG;'n
pillars supporting a democratic commonwealth. The
copusion to tax themselves directly FOR the e>abl IA
mcnt and maintcnan OF schools in"stimahlc
boon the people. Even II II economically
possible to do without direct taxes, political reason,
would forbid their abolition. On account of their
moral effect no state could d-p'nse with them, ana
least OF all a democracy. The people must be kept
conscious that the public purse means their own
pockets. The more they lose sight Of this the wider
the door is opened patcrnali>n, and pltcrnaism l.
deadly enemy OF liberty than dc-poiism ana
tyranny. Professor Won Hoist cOntended for

universities, though but comparatively few

interest Of all that there should BE- and women
who have received the hgc, education, and 1t Is not
only justified but imperative that the commonwealth
furnish the means for supplying its want. From the
Federal Government direct assistance is to be
derived for the question Is within the province Of
Its constitutional power; ana If it were We ought
not to ask It's Interference. because TO nationaiLc
education, without sOlldatng IL, Is TO be- the aim.
Public opinion, unaided By law, must effect the re
l'rnl. Public opinion. however. Is In this country
powerful than law. 1t Is sure final. 10
overcome. not only active. but all passiv"
resistance. Professor Won Hoist urged upon the unl.
Ncsltes a higher standard for entrance examinations.
