EDUCATION FOR IMMIGRATION.

me bill for the further restriction
Of immigration proposed by the immi-
grafton restriction league of Boston
adds TO the classes excluded under the
present laws, all persons over Is years
OF age, and physically capable of read
ing, who cannot read the English Ian
suage or some other language; but an
admissible immigrant, or a person now
in or hereafter admitted to this coun-
try, may bring in or send for his wife,
his children under IS years of age, and
his parents, if they are otherwise ad-
MISSILE, whether they are so able to
read or not.
A leafet recently published by the
league summarizes the arguments in
favor of the educational test as fol
lows:
1. Because 1t has been found as an
actual fact that the classes whom we
wish to exclude ii. e., those who are
ignorant of any occupation, who are on
the whole incapable of approaching
our institutions and standards of liv-
ing, and who are very difficult of as
similation) contain a very large pro-
portion of illiterates, and that by
of immigration can be very greatly re-
duced.
2. Because it is exact and definite
in operation; and easily and simply ap-
piled.
3. Because a preliminary test would
be applied by the steamship companies
at the places where the tickets are
bought, and in this way the hardship
of turning back immigrants at our own
ports would largely be avoided.
4. Because it does not imply any
great change in existing machinery,
nor any increase in consular service
and expense.
s. Because the ability to read and
write is a necessary part of the equip
ment of the ordinary American citizen,
and therefore, other things being
equal. it is distinctly to u advantage,
so far as possible. to receive only i'm
migrants who can read.
6. Because it will promote educa-
ton among those who desire to immi-
CRATE, and will to that extent improve
the social condition of Europe.
T.. Because the educational test has
been Endorsed as a practical solution
of the question by all the leading
students of the immigration problem;
by 80 per cent of the press OF the
United States; by state legislatures
by state associations for promoting
immigration; by labor bodies. cham.
bers of commerce, boards of trade
charitable societies, and prominent
people in all parts of the country.
The reasons given are very good
ones and there is nothing of equa
strength to be said on the other side
AS a matter OF fact most of the oppo
sition to the restriction of undesirable
immigration comes from the agents Of
the steamship companies, to whom is
largely due the swarm of immigrants
from southern Europe that has beer
descending upon our shores in recen
years.
