EFFECT ON Enumeration
Was Discussed by DR.. j. NJ. Gillette
in Address at Teachers College
This Morning.

A very interesting lecture was de-.
livered by DR.. j. NJ. Gillette this
morning in teachers college. He
spoke on "The Problem of Immigra-
ton"
DR.. Gillette briefly explained what
constitutes a social problem and gave
some remarks on historical immigra-
ton. He brought before his audience
the fact of the number of immigrants
that came to the United States. The
results of the immense immigration
are he flooding Of the United States
with foreigners, the Transforming of
the race; the effect OF labor is very
great. and the effect on population IL
also a large factor to be considered.
DR.. Gillette then discussed the quail
ity of the immigration into the Uni
ted States.
The assilation of these immigrants
has become a big question for dis
cussion. The standard Of living is af-
fected b ythis immigration. The
skilled men in the United States are
displaced by unskilled labor and low
standards are set up.
These immigrants cause congestion
in some cities. Some locate in in
dustriai regions and some in manu-
featuring sections.
These immigrants think of this
country as the, land of promise where
there is liberty and opportunities for
everybody. The immigrants are gen.
orally worthy and they contribute a
great deal to the development of this
country. ,"t..- w..

IS BASED ON EVOLUTION
Modern Conception Of Life Says Con.
vocation Speaker Has That
Foundation

The c%onvocation speaker this morn
ing in the university gymnasium was
w. NJ. Bachus, pastor of the First Uni
tartan church in Minneapolis. He
spoke on The Modern Conception Of
Life"
He said that this conception of life
is based on the evolutionary idea. He
emphasized the fact that the divine
energy is working itself out in count
less ways. institutions and morality
have to grow up as a natural product
of the inner life and cannot come
from the outside. He said that the
so-called ~progressives are not revo-
%lutionary as is sometimes charged. but
are really In touch with the vital inner
life. The standpatters or conserva-
tives are trying to retard or dam up
the stream of life and they are the
ones who are revolutionary. @
