The Connecticut legislature has under
consideration a bill to provide for the
publication Of all the acts of the state
assembly in certain foreign languages
so that immigrants who have not had
the time or opportunity to learn the
English language may be able to read
the laws. There is much to be said in
favor OF the proposition, and there is
much to be said against it. It is very
desirable that all immigrants should
learn to read the English language. for
unless they do they are never in touch
with the ideas of the country as pre-
sented in the daily press and the
monthly magazines and the reviews.
But it is also q fact that comparatively
few immigrants who are adults when
they arrive in this country learn the
language so as to read it with any
facility. or real understanding. To that
class it would be a benefit to have the
laws printed in their native language.
The incentive TO learn the language
does not come from the desire TO read
the laws, but from desire to commu-
S-;cate with the inhabitants, to read the
papers that what is going on in the
world NAV be known. Very few people
ever read the LAYS. and the foreign i'm
migrant who desires to know what they
ARE but has no knowledge of the Ian
grage can usually. and without much
trouble, get a fellow countryman who
knows the language to read them to
him. 1t would not be worth Connecti-
cuts while TO publish her laws in any
other language than the English, unless
