The result of the investigation OF this

the other honest complaints made 10

UNJUST CRITICISM.
Care and forethought have been ex-

Of criticism from not going ahead fast

the men and women who have ac-

clusion that in 90 cases out of 100
they were "thc architects of their own

those who are known as self-made

Opposition to the endless food of i'm
migrants is usually based either upon
the feai that they will destroy the
market for native labor or the belief
that they will lower the standard of
citizenship and morality. In either
case, says Youths Companion, the fear
is directed against the immigrant him
self. AT the recent convention, in New
York, OF the American Social Science
association, danger less often consid-
cred was pointed out: that which
comes from the second generation. The
foreign-born population, according to
figures which were given, furnishes
more than twice its normal proportion
of inmates of penal, insane and chart
table institutions; but the children OF
immigrants are three times as criminal
az the children of the native-born, and
twice as criminal as the immigrants
themselves.
