not a desirable immigrant. 1t - certainty
that many immigrants are allowed to iand
who prove to be undesirable. and 1t is rea-
sonable to assume that many who have
been denied the privilege of landing would
have proved to be desirable. Immigrants
who. though they meet all the requirements
of the law, but who further congest the
crowded quarters of our big cities, are not
desirable We have enough of them.
There is a strong demand in this country
for land working immigrants. The country
needs them. and experience shows that they
prosper. Southern states are trying to de-
fleet the stream of Italian immigration
which for few years has been pouring
into our ports. There is an especially val
liable element in this class of immigrants.
high percentage of the class is agricul-
tural by habit and nature. Thousands of
these people after landing at New York
move eastward and take up abandoned
farm lands in New England The results
have been gratifying, both to the newcom
ers and to the eastern states.
Some complaint has come from Connect
cut that these thrifty people threaten to
Latinize the state but these little outbreaks
of nativism must be expected to occur.
All the southern states would profit by
the coming of these people. and the south
eastern cotton states. notably South Caro-
lima. are seeking to attract them. OF course.
it is said that they would be made to feel
their inferiority to the blue-blooded cava-
ler stock but there Is animus in allegations
of this kind. Poor strangers are not often
received on terms of social equality in old
settled communities anywhere in the world.
But the poor stranger. If he has thrift and
probity. soon ceases to be such. If he has
the right stuff in him he makes his place
in America, south or north In a genera
ton distinction between the immigrant Of
few years ago and the immigrant OF two
hundred years ago is for all practical pur
poses blotted out.
About thirty years ago considerable
number of Germans and English settled in
southern Prince Georges and Charles coun-
ties. Maryland The older people there who
had been rich or well-tO-do before the civil
war were courteous to the strangers. but
not ELUSIVE. The whites who always had
been poor looked with suspicion on the
hard working foreigners But these imm
grants of thirty years ago and their chill
drcn now stand among the best farmers
and the best citizens of southern Mary
land.

A New Educational Movement

The appropriation of Sl,JO for free leo
lures in the public school buildings will
become available July l. These lectures
constitute a department beyond the High
Schools and are practically a Free College
only adults are allowed to attend and the
sessions are at night. This new depart
ment of the local school system is in line
with the broad views of the most modern
educators, who aim to widen the bounda-
ries of the territory of generally accessible
knowledge and to supply opportunities for
acquiring culture and special training to
all who desire to avail themselves of such
advantages. There is perhaps no sturder
and more law-abiding element in any city
than that composed OF the men and wo-
men of simple attainment who sincerely
seek self-improvement. Intellectual stimulus
and discipline develop an alert and efficient
type OF cItIzen. In Il recent uIrerdnce
George Washington Cable says that II ha
come to be accepted as axlomdtic tina {
every American is entitled to the fruits OF
civnzation. The free lectures, as CON
Quoted iii Cleveland, throughout Minnesota
and elsewhere, bring within the reach OF
the general public the latest results of
scientific discovery in the practical arts.
Literature. biography and travel are not
neglected The free use of the stereopticon
brings the subject matter home to the
audience.
1t has often been pointed out that school
buildings representing large investment of
capital are allowed to remain idle except
during the compare lively short period of
school hours. A manufacturer would be
considered extravagant and his system
wasteful in the extreme who used the
buildings representing large u fraction
OF his fixed capital prOportionately as lit
tie. There Is no reason why any com
munity should fail to get fun use out of
its educational plant.
The schools are the factories that turn
crude material into American men and wo-
men. and the more constantly they are in
use and their educational machinery is at
work the better and more valuable a fin
ished product will appear and the more in
crease Of output may be expected. The
average attendance at these free lectures
in other cities is high, and the District has
ning has been made i'm this direction by the
appropriation of Congress for this pur-
pose Washington will be the sixth city
In America To attempt this work. and the
general average of intelligence here is AT
least fully as high as In commercial and
manufacturing cities, so that the adult
public vi undoubtedly manifest its APP
precint on 10y the size and regularity of its
attend nee.

PHYSICAL Education.
From the Phtladelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
One of the interesting topics discussed by
the doctors at Atlantic City was the i'll eff
feet, possibly permanent, of excessive and
unreguiated physical exertion. In the great
attention given to athletic exercises in our
schools and colleges, this is real danger.
The competition is fiercer, the effort
greater. than in the imprOyised schoolboy
sports of former generations. and while, no
doubt, the fittest survive, the unfit must
suffer in the process. Is it not possible to
make physical training an integral part of
a graded educational system, that boys
shall no more be put to tests of strength
and endurance for which they are unpre-
pared than they would be put to intelec-
tual tasks in advance of their natural de-
velOpment? In a general way, of course,
this idea is recognized in advisory SUI
pervision of the gymnasium and the play
ground; but the thought that the school or
college Is responsible. a parent. for the
physical well the mental development
of those intrusted to it. for the cultiva ton
of the healthy body SO important to the
healthy mind, has had only an ccasional
and irregular applicati ton.

The Linden Tree,

n curious statement. or rather misstate-

In the news columns it is printed that "a
small shoot of a linden tree said to be the

the City Gardens in Bronx Park few
months ago. and is to be transplanted In
the athletic field of Pelham Bay Park on
the afternoon of July f6. AS the sprig OF

Imitation Butter.
From the New York Tribune.

From The New York Tribune.
Manufacturers of oleomargarine played
their last card when they appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States against
the congressional legislation which they
have been lighting so vigorously for years.
Now that the highest tribunal of the re-
public has decided against them they will
be compelled to ship and sell their product
for exactly what it is. without variableness
or shadow of turning, and the dairy farm
ers of the country who make genuine but
ter from the milk of the cow will rejoice
that this veXed question Is thoroughly set
tied at last. People who want oleomargaf-
Inc can get it. People who want real cows
milk butter can get that And Opportuni-
ties for mistakes, illusions and receptions
will be lessened. Every tub of oleomargar-
inc and every tub of true butter should
stand on it's own bottom. =
